The game has both single-player and Co-Op Multiplayer modes. Utilizing local materials and your own knowledge, you start building vast factories and transport networks, establishing the industrial infrastructure necessary to launch a rocket and regain spaceflight capability. The plot goes like this: You are a survivor of a spaceship that has crashed on an alien world, only to find that the planet is populated by a number of enormous and highly aggressive insectoid species that become agitated by noise and air pollution. The framing narrative is explained in the tutorial, but is largely irrelevant in the primary Freeplay mode. A Switch port of the game was revealed during the September 2022 Nintendo Direct, releasing on October 28th of the same year, thus marking the game's debut on a console. Developed and published by Czech studio Wube Software, the game officially left Early Access with version 1.0 on August 14, 2020.
Factorio is a crowdfunded top-down two-dimensional Factory-Building Game (the Trope Maker, in fact), with RTS elements planned for later updates.
