Game
Don't be misled by its rough appearance. While Factorio may not be everyone's cup of tea, it stands out as one of the best cooperative games we've ever played. You've crash-landed on an alien planet, and your mission is to construct a rocket to return home. But with just a pickaxe at hand, rocket-building seems impossible. It's time to find your inner MacGyver and harness the resources of this planet.
In this game, you establish a factory, continuously expanding and optimizing production and resource collection. All the while, aggressive aliens aim to destroy your creation. Factorio has a great modding community that can extend gameplay from hundreds to thousands of hours.
If you like strategy games, especially resource-management, Factorio is a must-try, particularly with a friend.
Co-op
Amazingly good coop experience made from scratch to be played as a team. We have spent hundreds and hundreds of hours with friends playing.
You can hot join at any time and up to 65 535 (!!!) players can play on one server, even though we believe 2-6 is probably optimal. The entire campaign is available in coop.
