Factorio is a game in which you start with nothing and end up with a hell of a lot more. You start to mine coal and iron by hand, until you can automate that. Then automate the automated, and so on.

Be prepared to spend a lot of time going back to your earlier designs to remake them more efficient. And while doing that, get distracted by having not enough power, so you go and remake your power plant. And while doing that get distracted by that one line of iron which isn't full enough, so you go and place some splitters so you can balance that out. And while doing that, get distracted by.... You get the point.

9/10

Edit 2020: I would still recommend the shiznazzle out of this game.

Edit 2023: this game is more addictive than crack.

Edit 2024: With the space age expansion this game got a lot more addicting.
