Factorio is set for its last major update soon, developer Wube Software has announced in a blog post.
The influential strategy game about building and creating automated factories launched on Steam in early access form in February 2016, before launching proper in August 2020. It is a huge hit for Wube, one of those eternal Steam games with addictive gameplay mechanics, complex systems, and near infinite replayability. Factorio, which has seen superb support over the years, is credited with popularising the factory-building and automation genre on PC, and retains an âOverwhelmingly Positiveâ user review rating on Valveâs platform.
“I canât imagine how different Steam gaming landscape would have been if there was no Factorio,” John âBuckyâ Buckley, communications director and publishing manager for Palworld developer Pocketpair, said in a post on social media. “Thank you for making an incredible game!”
Managing expectations on the scope of the 2.1 update, Wube said: âGenerally, we are happy with the game design of Factorio and Space age. The progression is good, things are mostly well balanced (one or two exceptions), and there isn’t anything we feel is majorly missing. That is to say, we didn’t go into 2.1 development with grand designs of large new pieces of content or huge features.â
