I thought this game was well known but I haven't seen almost any mentions of it recently. It's very weird for a FOSS enthusiast not to advertise one of the best open-source games of all time so here I am trying to make it spoken about again.

Disclaimer: this game may be addictive for some individuals. Player discretion is advised. If you notice any symptoms of addiction while and/or after playing the game, stop playing immediately and consult with your doctor. Untreated gaming addiction may result in severe consequences such as digestive disorders, social behavioral disorders, loss of job, and depression.

It's great and all (it really is), but the target audience was just presented factorio 2.0 (and space age), so we're busy for a few months.

Sorry didn't know that. I'm not interested in Factorio because imo it looks terrible.

EDIT: I'm gonna open an issue so Lemmy lets OPs edit and delete comments on their posts. The amount of argument on here is too bad for a standard centralized moderation model.

He just told you: "it looks terrible." And he's not wrong; Factorio's art really does kinda suck.

Man I love factorio's art, had no idea people thought it was bad. Maybe at release. But there's alot of attention to detail in the sprites, even the trees sway gently in the breeze. You don't see that often in other games of a similar style.

It's the color palette. It's genuinely terrible. The pixel art itself looks pretty good but those colours just kill it.

Edit: god damn UK phone... color not colour.
