Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

You know there's something a little cruel about being a satisfactory fan and a factorio fan at the same time...

[–] ouch@lemmy.world 23 points 8 months ago

How's the ex-wife? Can you afford alimony without a job?

[–] Kaldo@fedia.io 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I haven't even started with satisfactory 1.0, I'm still behind on DSP the dark swarm update. Factorio coming out soon and I'm eyeing Alan Wake 2 that's on a sale right now, while I just recently bought the DLC for Against the Storm that I only played for a few hours.

I need help

[–] Janovich@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah I played so much pre 1.0 but never really got around to it after release. I knew how much I would be addicted if I really got into it again so I never really got around to it. I really need to get some time to try the base game as released before doing this expansion. But man, I really want to.

Life comes later, the factory must grow

Gutted this is releasing on a Monday. It’ll be a long work day…

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You're not taking vacation?

Me and several friends are actually taking vacation for this. Crazy I know

[–] Harrk@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Just returned from a 3 week one so I doubt I’d get another one for a bit haha.

[–] bazus1@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

my body is ready.

[–] truxnell 9 points 8 months ago

My body is ready. 1000+ hours wonders, heres to another 1000

[–] turtletracks@lemmy.zip 6 points 8 months ago

Alright alright, I'll get it

[–] christov@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Goodbye daily life, work and any other responsibility. The factory calls me. It must grow.

[–] Sudomeapizza@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Have the whole week off from work just to play this. 2.8k hours, with many more thousands of hours to come! The Factory Must Grow! The Spaceship Must Grow!

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Are you going to be playing with a group? Or a solo make a factory? Have you been sketching out possible designs already?

[–] Sudomeapizza@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I have a group of 4 other friends that'll be joining me, much less experienced, but enthusiastic group.

I've personally kept myself in the dark for designing factory layouts as i havent watched any videos of space age yet, and don't know any recipies. I wanna cherish the experience of playing my favorite game for the first time again struggling through all the stages.

But speaking of sketching... Ive done literal sketches before during my free time at work of nuclear setups when i was first getting into those about 4 years ago. (yes i mainly did only solar for a loooong time) And doing some spaghetti belt puzzles bc i was bored :p

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 2 points 8 months ago

Oh God. The spaghetti belt puzzles. That's a dark art, so tantalizing, but sets traps for the future.

Like having one speed belt, and then a different speed belt going below it. Works for the moment, great throughput, as soon as an upgrade planner is applied boom everything stops working. A little time bomb for your future self

[–] mvict@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

shut up and take my money

…now please?

[–] TammyTobacco@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I've always wished factorio would come to consoles

[–] knexcar@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Doesn’t it natively run on the Steam Deck?

[–] porotoman99@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

It's on Switch
