help Factorio FAQ

What is the main goal in Factorio?

Factorio is about building an automated factory on an alien planet, starting with hand mining and ending with massive production chains. The classic victory condition is launching a rocket, but many players continue optimizing trains, circuits, modules, and megabases long after that.

Does Factorio have enemies or is it just factory building?

It has hostile native creatures called biters and spitters that attack when pollution reaches their nests. You can fight them with turrets, walls, flamethrowers, artillery, and research upgrades, or adjust world settings if you want a calmer factory game.

What platforms is Factorio on?

Factorio is best known as a Windows, macOS, and Linux PC game, with a Nintendo Switch version also available. The PC version is especially popular because of mods, blueprints, multiplayer servers, and keyboard-heavy factory planning.

What changed with Factorio: Space Age?

Factorio: Space Age is the major expansion that adds interplanetary logistics, space platforms, and new planets with different production constraints. It builds on the same automation loop but pushes players to manage factories across multiple worlds instead of one Nauvis base.
