Swarmdustry

Seems like there might be a bunch of interesting ideas here, but the game is lacking basic usability and the experience of learning it is awful. I didn't even get through the tutorial, which to me is crazy for someone with more than 1000 hours in factorio. The developer should silently watch a new player a few times and then build all the simple stuff that is missing, like a page that shows you the tips you've already seen. Refunded, but I'll check back again in a year or so.

If you've played hundreds of hours of Factorio or Satisfactory, this gives the genre a much-needed spin. Replaces static infrastructure with living ecosystems where unit ratios and trail priorities matter. Visually captivating and mechanically fresh.

It's a pretty good game, I really like it. I think this one focuses more on logistics rather than production. I would say setting up production and mining in Swarmdustry is pretty easy but logistics is more difficult. For example, you need bugs to carry all the items on top of normal factory infrastructure like belts. I also like it very much how you can transfer items around with bugs instead of inserters while still having the option to use them when I feel like it. Other things I like about this game that I wish other factory games included by default: - Copy paste - Construction bots - Basic QOL stuff like placing poles while holding down mouse click, item transfers Things I dont like: - UI is kinda basic, but only visually. At least it gets the job done.

Context: This game is being made by a single developer. Quite impressive what he was able to deliver compared to other indie games that has a bigger team of devs. Now for the game, I played Satisfactory before (never factorio) so clearly there is a similarity in the mechanics. The art itself at first glance looks like a copy of factorio but when you start to play it looks different than factorio. Using creeps to move objects from one place to another. There are different approaches to do it and they all have pros and cons. The tutorial is a bit bare as of now and requires quite few of trial and error until you figure out how the items work. The graphics is okay. Not the most important here but it's passable so it doesn't matter much. I am sure the UI will get better with time. Not much story either here but this is more like a sandbox style with enemies in game that gets stronger and stronger as you progress. Overall it's a nice change from other games. If you like factorio/satisfactory then you would like that one as well.

OK, I am enjoying a new factory games, the tutorial took a while and game up the tutorial as I cannot read easy after my stroke, but awesome so far, price high if you think you are close to the type from Factorio. $5 difference seems too high. but enjoy, it is fun!! :-)

ストアのスクショをパッと見ただけで影響を受けてることがわかる、Factorioライクゲー。 自動化ゲーとしては虫をコンセプトに独自の味付けが散見される。 特にユニークに思ったのがコンベアシステムで、 トレイルという経路上をムーバーというユニットを歩かせることによって物資を運ばせることが出来る。 これにより輸送経路の構築にコストがかかるがラインの流量を調節することも可能となっている。 背中に物資を乗せながらトコトコ歩いて地面に潜っていく様がなんかかわいい。 電線システムも虫を介して電力が運ばれる。 こちらは現実のハチが花粉を運ぶイメージに近いのかも。 アーリーの現時点でもツリーのボリュームは結構あるし前述の独自要素など楽しめる要素は揃っている。 ただ少し奮発すればFactorioが買えてしまうので もう少し値段設定は緩くしたほうが良かったんじゃ…とも思う。

Эта игра похожа на Factorio.

Je met rarement un avis mais 25€ pour ça c'est à la limite du scam Rien que au tuto je suis bloqué en posant en miner rien ne bouge En plus les graphismes on comprends rien... 10€ j'aurais compris mais là

I bought this expecting a simple Factorio reskin with bugs, but the living trail mechanics and biological automation feel genuinely distinct. Designing my first bio-network and watching Snatchers and Movers zip across the hive is insanely satisfying. 3 hours flew by.
