eigenrobot · x · 2026-09-29
Prominent AI-community figure eigenrobot shared that he beat Factorio at normal strength playing with the bugs, and it turned out less hard than expected.
His key takeaways:
- Pick a map with lots of choke points to naturally limit attack routes
- Clear a large area early and fortify it
- Ignore the PVE pressure and focus on building out
He called it a very satisfying play, though with an anticlimactic ending.
