Get In Quick Before Factorio Raises Their Prices

Factorio is the great simulation game that mixes a few different genre's for excellent results and you only have a few days left before the price goes up.

They have a demo (hooray!) which for me ran perfectly and I can see it being a great game as I even found the demo to be fun. I was actually surprised at how well it ran for an alpha, but they do say it's in "late alpha", so it's had time for polish.

They are also nearing 30K sales which is quite a milestone for any indie game so congratulations to them for that.

About
Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories.

You will be mining resources, researching technologies, building infrastructure, automating production and fighting enemies. Use your imagination to design your factory, combine simple elements into ingenious structures, apply management skills to keep it working and finally protect it from the creatures who don't really like you.

If you are planning on buying it let us know, if not why not? Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Warning, this game had me more addicted than I've been in years and the alpha made weeks of my evaporate. Play at your own peril.

I like but I'll wait for the final version, I haven't good experience with some alpha or early access games...

What the F...? May 31, 2014
Why would someone set payment options via paysafecards set to "my paysafecard" only? Well kills it for me, and I'm gonna wait for a sale.

Huh? That's exactly what Paysafecard is a pre-payment system.

There are multiple payment options including paypal, so I don't get the problem.

Quoting: GuestMeh, I’ve just tried the demo and it’s just another annoying survival/crafting game :(. I wasn’t expecting this based on the trailer.

Name one game remotely similar to this. Also, I am really confused as to how you got the wrong impression from the trailer.

Yes, but "my paysafecard" is an additional service from Paysafecard. It's like a wallet or an bank account. At first you have to register and run through an identification process. After that you can top up your account with paysafecard PINs, and pay with just an username/password combo instead of PINs.

I have no clue why the developer has chosen this account option only, instead of PINs or both.
