- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I don’t think Factorio ever goes on sale but imo it’s worth full price.
If you like Satisfactory, there’s an extremely high chance you’ll like Factorio. The main differences are the obvious 2D top-down vs 3D 1st person and Factorio has a robust military/combat system with base defense while Satisfactory is mostly peaceful unless you’re exploring.
Oh I don't doubt that I'd enjoy it, I just rarely pay full price for games anymore. It gives me StarCraft vibes.
Perhaps when I've tired myself of Satisfactory, I'll pick it up, if it still hasn't gone on sale by then.
In the meantime though, I also have Mindustry.
I was going to suggest mindustry if you didn't.
Definitely. I got back into it recently too, but when I first found it, I lost many, many hours to it.
It literally never goes on sale lol
You can turn off combat in both games if you just want factory building. Shapez and Shapez2 are all solid entries in the factory game genre.
