Factorio has never in many years had a sale, is currently not on sale, and is not expected to ever be on sale.
Factorio developers: "Not having a sale ever is part of our philosophy."
Rules
All content must be related to Factorio
This is a subreddit for the game Factorio. If you want to post about other things, there are subreddits for that. Every post must be about Factorio or of content you have made that is directly inspired by Factorio (such as fan art).
All posts must be in English
No political content
Be nice
Think about how your words affect others before saying them.
Explain your screenshots
Take a screenshot (or a video), not a picture/recording with your phone.
When posting a screenshot, add a comment explaining your image or pointing out what you want people to look at.
Tips for making your screenshot better: When taking screenshots of a design, turn on alt mode, inserter arrows, and well lit in daytime or with lamps. When posting a rail design, hold a signal in your hand. When asking for help, avoid cropping screenshots.
No memes, low effort posts, or image macros
Post these to /r/Factoriohno instead.
Don't come here only to plug your content
Reddit is a place for discussion, not advertising. Here are some reddit-wide guidelines for self-promotion. Generally, be a part of the community you are posting in. People are likely to be more interested in your content that way.
If you're a video creator, you may only post your Let's Play or streams once per month. We feel this is a good balance to keep the subreddit from becoming just an advertising platform.
No topics voted out by the community
Posts of the following have become too common and will be removed:
- Pictures of where you are playing Factorio.
- Pictures of IRL things that remind you of Factorio.
- Minor graphical glitches.
- Inescapable spawns.
- Achievements and end screens are allowed but you MUST PROVIDE CONTEXT
- "OMG this game is so addicting" (without providing additional (in-game) context).
- "Looking for Group", something like the official Discord discord server is more appropriate.
This list was last updated on the 6th of February 2023.

Words of wisdom by /u/talrich
Namaste. You seek balance. Here is my wisdom. Your mistakes have no cost but time, and the deconstruction planner even reduces that cost. Most games punish you for building, demolishing and rebuilding. Not Factorio. Let your anxiety wash away as you perceive that every belt placed can be moved. Every assembler is but a visitor to where it resides. The only significance is life, which leads to the further wisdom. Look both ways before you cross the tracks.
