This post was written as a joke for April Fools' day. Nothing written here should be taken seriously.

No doubt you have heard about NFTs, the latest Blockchain innovation. With some big gaming companies exploring NFTs, where does Factorio stand?

We have received many offers. Some of the offers were quite silly, others very tempting. Since we have many Blockchain enthusiasts on the team, we decided to explore the subject ourselves. After consulting with some industry-leading experts on Discord, this is what we came up with:

Non-fungible blueprints

One of the many subjects of debate within the team is t...

We are a games company based in the Czech Republic. Russia's invasion of Ukraine affects us directly. We have team members there, we have friends there, and we get information first hand. There is no excuse for the actions of the Russian army, they have little regard for civilians including children.

We support Ukraine and have made contributions to relief efforts.

We support Russians that stand against the actions of the Russian government.

You can help too, even if it is just with your voice. World leaders are listening: every voice counts.

The Czech National museum, which has bullet scars from the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968.

Please, keep the discussions about the world events (if you can't help it) specifically in threads related to this post, as we want to keep the rest of the content on topic.

I would love to see what a developer of Factorio would call an "average" base ;-)

The one in the video is the same one I used to test the battery.

I'm looking into it, but I'm not sure how it will turn out; that's why I didn't mention it in the post.

Or do they have a dedicated account only for the Steam Deck?

You got me.
I have more playtime not on Steam, on the next unreleased version of the game. ;)

Hello,
Today is actually the 6 year anniversary of Factorio launching on Steam, and just recently too we passed 3 million total sales (and we're even past 3.1 million at this point), so it is quite a milestone. It is great for us that the game is still selling consistently year on year, even though we never take part in sales or bundles.


Steam Deck support Twinsen

Today is the official release day of the Valve Steam Deck, so it seems fitting to talk about how Factorio performs and what our plans are.

Valve was nice enough to send us a devkit early on, so here's a recent video of me playing the game a bit.

I'd recommend to make space in the factory for the logo so it truly belongs there as an entity, not as a sticker on top <3

Well, I have 30 bucks with your name on them.

It will be only the second time I buy a new game without looking at any reviews.

I live in Japan, and playing Factorio with my cousin is a major way for me to stay connected to my family in Germany.

Edit: Wow, interesting time stamp on that post. Around 5am. I'm curious: are you an early riser or a night owl?

One of these days when I just fall asleep together with the kids at 8pm ... :)
