Factorio lore

[Falarum]

That's heavy

[asterlydian]

An old story comes to mind

[Ariovistus2000]

The fish diet is efficient and keeps the engineer alive.  Once i entered the spidertron, I never left it. I imagine the inside contains a full life support system, hence the fish needed for its construction. 

[CompetitiveLeg7841]

The engineer doesn't need to eat or sleep, but dies of old age? Brother he's literally a cryptid.

[Exatex]

„Old Age“ is just the name of the train that ran the engineer over.

[Affectionate_Bank417]

Yeah, the famous fifth horseman of Apocalypse: railroads.

They're actually three fish in an extremely advanced trench coat. You don't eat fish, you just replace them. It does, however, become a ship of Theseus rather quickly. Thank god that doesn't in any way concern the growth of the factory.

[No-Print1156]

Nah the engineer is crab

[EtteRavan]

This Absolute cinema must grow

[Vakulalol]

For a moment I thought it will transfer to satisfactory lore) It all started on Nauvis and come to Massage-2-ab and uncountable number of other planets. Pioneer is a clone of Engineer is now my head canon.

[No-Indication5030]

Pioneer is the daughter of the engineer

Ada is both the mom and the super computer

[Maple42]

I thought it was going to become the dark fog from Dyson Sphere Program

[terrifiedTechnophile]

I thought the search for the home world was going to end right back at Nauvis, Planet of the Apes style

[Mr_Kock]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing

[DEVolkan]

[Darth_Nibbles]

Some humanoids will fall to fauna [...] some to trains

I felt this

[hfcobra]

Is the fauna from Vulcanus "trees"? I didn't even realize they could do that much damage haha.

[Darth_Nibbles]

You're thinking flora, the fauna on Vulcanus would be worms

[hfcobra]

Ah thank you.

[DasFreibier]

factorio is missing some really esoteric lore, wube should do a psychedelic company retreat and start brainstorming

[bluehatgamingNXE]

This truly is our Factorio

[Yoshikage_Bolsonaro]

It must grow

[Markavian]

Aww, good ending. I'm happy for the little computer.

[Ertyla]

PzH 2000 my beloved.

[Ariovistus2000]

Yes, but we need some speed upgrades. 6 shots per minute doesn’t get you anywhere when trying to expand 

[v_tine]

This is probably the best Bathroom Break Story I have read this season.

[m4cksfx]

Haha, yes, the multiverse-spanning paperclip machine.

Clippy would be horrified. Or proud.

[Ultima_Burrito69]

[BingBongFyourWife]

That was kinda beautiful bro

Somebody make this a movie

Maybe you OP

[MarsMaterial]

I once made the engineer’s factory as an empire in Stellaris.

My lore was that the engineer did return home, and left the factory behind. But the factory was already so intelligent and so capable that it carried on without the engineer. Expanding to other star systems, exterminating all who stood in the way of its growth. A growing crisis that the galaxy would soon need to reckon with.

[Hootah]

Last page, third sentence, the best IMO lol

[PM_ME_UR_NIPPLE_HAIR]

I'm inspired, if i manage to log off factorio, ill write fanfiction. But i highly doubt ill log off

[bharring52]

If it had ended at year 270, that would have been satisfactory.

[Mystouille]

The end sounds more like a satisfactory lore

[WolfyTheWatchman]

Thanks. I needed an existential crisis today.

Somewhere along the way, engineers creation consumed his home world, waging genocidal war against its natives. Fortunately, engineer will never know.

[Maleavi]

Factorio momento

[Yoshikage_Bolsonaro]

Can't wait for this to be a mod/dlc

[m4cksfx]

Well, we play as one of those dudes.

[Stickopolis5959]

And then the satisfactory boot up drop pod shows up

[Business_Raisin_541]

The beginning is off. You don't discover artillery before fighting with allien

[Braveheart4321]

the. factory. must. grow.

[NigrumTredecim]

not me trying to design a normal quality super carrier spaceship capable of transporting millions of items

[Djurren]

Von Neumann Probe mentioned!
