    Factorio.

    Utterly, unhealthily obsessed, and no end in sight.

    It’s good for me because the focus is building, with some defensive combat on the side; I’ve tried Mindustry to try to get the same time sink on my phone, and I’ve learned that I don’t like tower-defense style games; but civilization building (-like) is addictive.

    Excellent game, runs like a dream on Linix. Lots of fun.

    Is there anyone who’s tried Factorio who doesn’t like it? I haven’t come across a Factorio rant yet.

            Did you learn anything you could pass on? Every “tutorial” I read or watch just keeps talking about zones, but nothing explains why trains can’t find a path to the destination when some signals are omitted.

            I suspect there’s something involving signals going in the opposite direction that influence the internal logic, but that’s not explained anywhere I have found yet. I spend so much frustrating and un-fun time dicking around with the stupid trains.
