Mindbreaking New Factory Games | Automation & Logistic Simulation 2024

Factory/automation games are something I've always thought would be really cool to get into and yet somehow I couldn't get either of the two biggest games in the genre - Factorio and Satisfactory to stick, which is really sad/frustrating. Do you think there are any others in the genre that might somehow be appealing, maybe something more guided or beginner appealing or idfk what? Figured you might be the kinda fella to ask considering your content.

gifs not jiffs. The creator of the name is just an anarchist that wants to watch the world burn.

One I have been testing out now that came out just a week ago is Final Factory - it's basically a love letter to Factorio, Cosmoteers and far future science fiction with gameplay different enough to feel like a fresh experience.

Everything you build is made of structures that make up a space station - and you can put thruster on the stations for ship building happiness. I'm having a lot of fun with it. :>

Most of these aren't new lol...

I can never decide if i want to get factorio or not. I have played a lot of dyson sphere program and satisfactory, but factorio just seems ridiculously complex and idk if i can get into that

Nothing quite beats the dude reading the game steam description word for word... top notch creative content 😂

dyson sphere released the dark fog update and its SO GOOD i tell ya

Moose Miner looks like all those cheap mobile games made into an actual, interesting game

Revive and Prosper looks suspiciously like Timberborn. Too much in fact.

some nice "jifs"?? no sir. no.

awesome

Revive and Prosper looks like Timberborn without polish.

Satisfactory still has incredibly buggy multiplayer, btw. For anyone considering picking it up to play with friends.

In general I don't like early access ever since a lot of game devs started putting their games into early access and abandoning the project after grabbing some money.
Foundry has been in "coming soon" at least a good couple years. Hard to say if it will ever come out. It could be as dead as deadstick.

I guess you just looked in Steam, but Satisfactory was released on Epic on March 18, 2019, one year earlier.

I found The Crust's Demo to be extremely lacking. Gameplay didnt click, presentation too, premise wasnt fun, story a bit too forced, visuals not up to snuff, graphics had bugs which can be fixed but still gives a worse impression, the underground part was falling too short of what it could have been and then finally the nail to the coffin: the drone design.
I already hated that part at Surviving Mars. But Drones looking comically dumb and unthematic while the rest tries to be serious or even scientifically accurate, just destroys it for me.
Then equipping them back and forth on the fly and stuff and they are even dumber, less logically sound and i could go on.
Problem is, these Drones are the backbone and you will need to use them all the time.
Kinda meh, but we will see how they improve.

The combat additions to DSP is just a plan dumb and stupid way to go imo. It's feature complete enough as is without that to release.

Satisfactory is hot garbage that should have stayed an epic exclusive. Unfortunately, Foundry and Techtonica are gonna be taking the same road of boring ass no combat resource sinks.

Fundry is just a Satisfactory ripoff

Satisfactory is the best!

Hate to say it but Revive and Prosper looks almost exactly like a dollar store Timberborn

Is there a list of these that are multiplayer? I like playing factory games with friends and co-op or single player is often missing from reviews and I need to dig for it.

watching this video literally while playing Satisfatory lol

Bro is trying to bankrupt me with all of these $20 games

What's the game In the intro with the constructing on conveyor

Alot of these games focus on the factory. I think factorio is still the best because there is factory AND combat.

Factorio: Space Age will also include planets, in addition to the floating platforms

Let me guess, unfinished game in early access list?

You said JIFS, not GIFS, I cannot accept that.

much hype for crust. super keen on it :D

What is the game shown during the end credits in this video?

I highly approve of this list!!!! Was going to mention though, the Developer of the Space Exploration mod got hired by Wube and is heavily helping with developing the new expansion ❤😊

Desynched and Techtonica really sucked, refunded both.

wish u said satisfactory is finally on update 8. ive been waiting on that forever! im also super hyped for an update for factorio. those r the best two factory games out there for now.

I'm sad that Scorchlands didn't make the list, the game is pretty, casual, and has a unique style.

RIP wallet

I got suckered into satisfactory.
I really don’t understand the hype. The build mechanics are quite bad.
Factory games just don’t work in first person

what game is the outro game ??? might wanna list that if your showing it facepalm

I started Satisfactory for the first time this week, with the new Unreal Engine 5 update. It's so good! As a Factorio veteran it's a different style and takes a while to get used to but the game is freaking beautiful.

Only two new games (to me new xD)

Foundry lan party sounds nice. :P

Moose miner so canadian game lol

Revive and Prosper just looks like a complete rip off of timberborn....

what game was that at the very end (after factorio)?????

Love the opening, I have really fond memories of Infinifactory
