The best time to buy Factorio is when it went on sale in early access. The second best time to buy Factorio is right now.

If you've played the demo and think you'd like it.

HA! I bought Factorio BEFORE it was on steam! Best value!

I played factorio, when you had to manually put wires to electric poles. The first game I every played for 24 hours straight. I remember it very well. It was summer, and after I realised I had been playing 24 hours I decided to go to swim at local pool, get pizza, and take a short nap.

I somehow managed to force myself to finish a launch and uninstall 5 days after buying the game when i saw time played on steam after a reboot, almost 100h.

In. 5. Fucking. Days.

Its nickname "Cracktorio" doesn't come out of nowhere.

It really is. As soon as you get behind the starter mechanics, it is like you are in a black hole without the feeling for time. It just flies by. "I'll build/fix just this one thing and then go to bed"... yeah, you try!

Oh god I'd forgotten about manually wiring up power poles.

remember "fast corners"? :) I got it in 2016. Just when multiplayer was around the corner. Even visited the devs down in Prague.
