Flicking through my Steam now, may I suggest Satisfactory (AAA-style first person Unreal Engine automation game, devs seem cool, probably the highest profile game after Factorio), Timberborn (beaverpunk, nature themed, less automation heavy), Dyson Sphere Program (Chinese-developed space-themed interplanetary automation), Shapez (minimal 2D automation game, there’s a less minimal sequel), Mindustry (haven’t played it, but seems to be another Factorio-lite).
Distant honorable mention to WRSR, a Soviet themed city building game with so many production chains and interlocking systems that I’d consider it more of an automation game than a city builder. Although it won’t appeal to you if you aren’t into city builders. And I think it especially won’t appeal to you if you’re from a country/family that had an unpleasant Soviet era.
Oh yeah. I’ve poured months of my life into Nomifactory (formerly Omnifactory) and will one day play the even longer Nomifactory CE as a finale. This might be the first time I forget to mention modded MC in this context.
When I played it the first time in 2019 there were a few modded mods to make some tasks easier on setup and on the CPU, since the original mods weren’t made with the sheer volume of automation needed in the pack.
When I replayed it again five years later, there were even more helper mods. Sure setting things up the harder old way was more satisfying the first time, but when you have to build the same setup another eighty times? Give me the streamlined stuff please. It was much less tedious, although I was still vaguely familiar with all the mechanics, which also helped a lot. So did my CPU being like 10 generations newer.
That said, if we’re talking about avoiding shithead devs, Microsoft has finally been included in mainstream boycott discourse, and Notch has always been a bit off. Although I’d assume most people into this stuff must have already gotten the game before. It’s not like I’ve given them any money for it over the past decade+.
Yeah all that notch stuff was so weird. He was the first person I witnessed spiral down the alt right pipeline from a seemingly chill and tolerant dude to a raging bigot.
I’m quite happy to play modded minecraft (as I already have a copy. I can’t exactly get a refund at this point), but I’ve been trying out minetest and the other minecraft clones in the luanti launcher. Slightly janky, but very free from microsoft.
Yikes, OK yeah I didn’t have the patience to scour all his comments but I see that you did and those other links are pretty open-and-shut damning. Depressing.
Not sure why you or another mod deleted my comment, perceived misinformation? Apologies if so.
I did. It was perhaps a bit hasty, but it presented a link and claimed that it showed him not being a bigot. I removed your comment to ensure as few people as possible saw the comment and assumed it to be correct. A lot of people don’t actually check out links.
The dev is a massive bigot :(
Oh what? That’s disappointing.
I feel less guilty about pirating it now.
Proof?

Factorio was inspired by a number of minecraft factory/automation mods, so that’s another option as well! Probably old tekkit

The reddit thread you linked directly shows him being a bigot.
Edit: Not to mention a pedophile.

Yes that’s totally fair, just wanted to know, TY.
I knew he was a bigot…
Source on him being a pedo???
EDIT: Source (as found in another comment.)
I link two reddit threads with sources in another comment. One has him defend statutory rape because it is in his eyes consensual.
Thank you.

Buying the game is supporting the bigot. Politics is a part of everything. Please do not defend bigotry in this community.
