  • I love this <3 Wube should be the example the game industry follows

  • A "screen" for blind people, where "pixels" would move up and down instead of changing colours would be so cool. Factorio would "display" the game world, something else would "display" text in Braille...

  • I'm (hopefully) getting a G1X soon, so I think I'm going to put it to work printing this stuff out. I'm now excited for this as a use case and I kind of hope someone builds something to convert an existing factorio world into a 3d model, though it might be to big to actually print so maybe a way to take a section would be even better.

  • Real-world Factorio, aka composable manufacturing, aka "factories building drones building factories", aka universal constructor, is the next trillion dollar company.

  • Oh - but only touching them?

    I was hoping for an iteration of a factorio belt that could actually move!

  • Remember that Factorio does not release its 3D models. Everything in the game is a 2D render of a 3D model, which is why the game uses so much VRAM.

  • I love Factorio, but I can't play it - it's way too addictive. If I start on a Friday, I won't stop until Monday

  • Wube is such a unique game studio. They do a lot of very solid technical work and look like they have fun doing it. I particularly appreciated their recent post about porting Factorio to ARM64. They had a business reason to do it but it's clear the team was mostly just curious about whether ARM64 was a viable gaming platform now. And then shared the results with us. They seem like fun hacker guys.
