Awesome! It's so cool seeing you post this here, because I've been excited about this game since I learned about it a few days ago. I hope it's successful!

As a question, what games inspired this one? How many hours have you put into factorio?




Thanks! The inspiration is a complex topic, I am sure that many games affected my decisions but it was more like making a game that I want to play that does not exist. I wanted to mine ore with excavators and see the land disappear.

Also, reality and real industrial processes was a source of inspirations. I have probably watched all episodes of How it's made!

But just for the record, I have probably a few hundred hours in Factorio and ~60 hours in Satisfactory. I also enjoyed Anno series, DSP, Tropico series, W&R: Soviet republic, Factory town, Oxygen not included, Frostpunk, and OpenTTD :)
