Ever known about a few games that don’t really have good graphics, but their features are so mind-bending that they keep you hooked? Well, the first game that definitely comes to mind is Minecraft. Minecraft has revolutionized the sandbox genre, allowing folks to design whatever they truly want. That also popularized the genre of sandbox simulation games. One game that truly revolutionized the genre would definitely be Factorio. The game is extremely frustrating to get started with but is very rewarding when you successfully complete an automated assembly line for production. If you’re like me, you like playing it with friends, get frustrated when things don’t work out, and then claim it to be your favorite sandbox simulation when you come back to play it the day after. And now, there are more mechanics to master, more buildings to build as Factorio’s first full-featured expansion is revealed to be in the works.
The official Factorio blog reads that the developers will be working on a large expansion for increasing the content available to play with. This “expansion pack” seems to be one well-defined “revamped version” of the game. The developers have also promised that most of the game’s features will work as originally intended after the release of this expansion. However, the post was emphatically clear about not dropping any details till the project has reached a place worthy of showcasing before the public.
Factorio also will be hiring more people to aid in the development of this expansion. There is a requirement for 3D artists, operations developers as well as C++ programmers. For applying, budding artists or developers may refer to the official website for seeking out the requirements and the application for the same.
Factorio has been a vivid and intense game so far. An expansion pack would only add to a large amount of content it already provides to users for enjoying.
