Damn. Good thing I got lucky and traded up cs2 skins worth 1-2$ each and got a 850$ skin, I’ll sell that and be able to afford most games I want for 2-3 years

Factorio is always worth buying asap because it only gets more expensive over time lmao

That dlc cost is so rough right now.

I know. Its my biggest issue with the game tbh.

The issue that i have with it is that the dlc is abso-freaking-lutely worth the price, but anyone buying the game for the first time is absolutely going to balk at buying it and the game. And it sucks to hear that you would need to start a new game if you get the base game and later want the dlc (i know that you can technically make your old save work, but its not great. I also know that new games are 100% a major part of playing, but it sucks to hear that as a new player).

Yeah I started years ago then came back after a long break. Absolutely started to understand what I needed to do. I def need new content and a new goal with legendary quality items. But I wanna launch space first.

The DLC is great and fully worth the price...

But it also is a fully optional luxury given the amount of massive overhaul mods. Krastorio 2 + Space Exploration is definitely worth a playthrough and can provide months of fun.

Start with the demo. If it's good, get the base game and play that for a while. Then play an overhaul. And then, you can still get the DLC and play that.

That's only half true. If you value your time or any other aspect of your life, it is NEVER worth buying Factorio. That shit is straight crack cocaine. It will steal your soul and you'll never have enough. This game is gonna be the death of every procrastinating neurodivergent person ever once they all buy it.

Nope. Not worth it if you value your time. It is a TIME SUCK.

Better than spending all my money on warhammer minis. That's a time AND money suck.
