I think the question in all this suggestions is,if Wube get the keys they give the buyers of the game from here from steam costs them something or not. Buying direct from the web site means the devs avoid the Steam cut (about 30%) and you can still register your game on Steam if that's what you want to do. If you can’t wait and don’t mind playing on a computer, you can find more info for purchasing it directly on Factorio homepage.Ojelle wrote:And you will always be able to buy from here? (while receiving a steam key)Īnd I googled a bit, looks like steam takes a minimum 30% cut.ĪFAIK Steam takes no cut registering a Steam key bought from a 3rd party, including the devs themselves. As the tech part is way out of my league I’ll not mention them here, but all of this make ps a future on Switch very uncertain. So, will the game ever make the jump to the Switch? I’ve seen all kind of technical reasons why this might be a bridge too far.
I guess that might not be easy when you are building things for the fun of building. From what I’ve read on Steam the developers themselves need some more organizing to stick to their planning and finish things.
However, it’s been in early access since then. It’s stable now, and more then two years ago it also became available on Steam. The game has been around since 2012, started out smaller and added to over and over again. However this heavy exploitation of the planet’s resources does not sit nicely with the locals, so you will have to be prepared to defend yourself and your machine empire. In a short time you can become an industrial powerhouse, with huge solar fields, oil refining and cracking, manufacture and deployment of construction and logistic robots, all for your resource needs. Research technologies, build infrastructures and automate production. In the beginning you will find yourself chopping trees, mining ores and crafting mechanical arms and transport belts by hand. As a sort of bonus you also have to defend your business to the original inhabitants of the planet who don’t take kindly to your ruining the place. The reason I’ve listed it here is that it’s a management sim with gameplay that I find intriguing.īuild factories that are run by machines, you have to think about what goes where they make it streamlined. In representation Factorio reminds me a lot of Stardew Valley. The past weeks have seen some cute and cuddly games. Last week I looked at The Good LifeThis week we take a look at Factorio! Not cute and cuddly this time Of course, as a fan of Nintendo’s hybrid console I think many of these games would fit perfectly on the Switch. “From Steam to Switch?” lists the games I have on my radar, hoping they will make the switch (pun intended!).
#FACTORIO DOWNLOAD IF BOUGHT ON STEAM SERIES#
In this series of articles I take a look at simulation games that are on Steam, but haven’t made the jump to the Switch. And in some cases, they eventually reach Steam and are available for a bigger audience.
They release the game on servers of their own and make it available through the web browser. Some though don’t seek out collaboration with the big gaming companies for their release. And a lot of these games eventually come to the Switch as well. Nowadays, more and more games are being developed by Indie developers.
