Overview

This is quite a rare occasion, but my beloved roommate brought in a game saying, "I want to try this."

It's Factorio. This is a game where you, uh... keep building stuff like this ↑.

According to my roommate's review, "You can mindlessly keep on playing. Minecraft is a bit too free for me, but Factorio has a certain goal, so it suits me." This roommate of mine has a hard time setting their own goals, so it seems Factorio is a perfect fit.

I've played it for a while, so let me share my impressions.

 

"Server Not Responding"

We are playing multiplayer in a LAN environment with two Switches.

  • Mr. Green's Switch: Wired connection
  • Roommate's Switch: Wi-Fi connection

In terms of progress, we're at the point of running a lab with red, green, blue, and black science packs...

This issue started to occur frequently on the client side.

On the server side, it says "Disconnected because the computer or line could not keep up with the server." Multiplay is no longer possible. We couldn't find a solution to this problem. We did some research, but we only found information like "The game slows down if you increase the number of belt conveyors too much?" Moreover, there's hardly any information about the Switch version.

For now, we decided to start over in a new world with the slogan of "belt conveyor saving play".

We might want to complain, "Don't release such a game on Switch," but there's also a possibility that our LAN environment is slow, so we hesitate to loudly voice our complaint.

 

Impressions

Oh, it's fun!! My style is to draw blueprints in a notebook before starting construction.

As the readers of Miroli HP know, Mr. Green loves programming. When creating a program, I draw blueprints like this before making it on the computer, and I feel it's a similar kind of play. It feels like I'm using the same brain area when I'm programming.

For instance, the one below↓ is a blueprint designing an efficient route to feed seven types of items to the lab.

And this is what came out of it↓

It's so much fun!!
