Factorio
Factorio is a game about building and creating automated factories to produce items of increasing complexity, within an infinite 2D world. Use your imagination to design your factory, combine simple elements into ingenious structures, and finally protect it from the creatures who don't really like you.

Factorio Defense & Pollution Guide|Biters, Evolution, and Turrets
Defense in Factorio comes down to three things — cut pollution to lower attack pressure, understand how the evolution factor rises, and combine walls and turrets into a layered line. Biters are drawn to your factory's pollution, and as evolution climbs they scale up to medium, big, and behemoth. This guide covers pollution and evolution mechanics, how to pick turrets, and how to build a practical defensive line — no sugar-coating.
walkthroughFactorio Beginner Guide|Early-Game Roadmap and Common Pitfalls
The Factorio early game is about one thing — automating the things you've been doing by hand. Build the ore → smelt → parts → assemblers pipeline in stages, and set up power and research in parallel. Don't aim for perfection. Get something running first, then improve it. This guide walks you through a no-stuck early game.
guideFactorio Main Bus Design|The Central Highway for a Scalable Factory
A main bus is the standard factory pattern — run key materials down the middle in parallel belts and split off assemblers on one side. By centralizing iron plates, copper plates, green circuits, and other staples, you get a factory that is both readable and easy to scale. This guide covers the basic structure, how to decide belt counts, and the operational habits that keep a bus working.
guideFactorio Progression Guide|The Path to the Rocket Launch
Factorio's vanilla campaign is a march through seven science pack colors, culminating in a rocket launch. The order — red, green, gray, blue, yellow, purple, white — defines what tech opens up next. Knowing what you need to build at each tier removes the guesswork. This guide lays out the full progression path.
