Plans

Sized for Factorio.

The factory must grow. Cheap to run and famously well optimised, so a small plan carries a serious base.

The solid bar is the smallest plan that runs Factorio. Faded bars run it with room to spare. Greyed plans sit outside its range. Player counts are what the plan carries, not a benchmark of this game.

How busy it is

Factorio against the other sandbox games.

Peak concurrent players on Steam, measured rather than estimated. Bars are to scale against each other, so a game almost nobody plays looks like one.

Look at my playtime. Now look at me. I love this game. Good game is good. You may catch me complaining about minor issues, but that's only out of love for the game. I love Factorio enough to play for this long, so it must be a good game. Yeah?
