Factorio 1.0: All info on the proper release of the cult game

Since its release in February 2016, Factorio has been able to build up a huge fan base, but was always still in Early Access. This has since changed, as the official version 1.0 has been released.

The culmination of steady development, Factorio 1.0 has finally been released.

Factorio is aimed at skilled production planners who must defend their growing factory against threats. This gameplay was so well received that a large community was created. With the final release of Factorio 1.0, everything is set to get even better.

Factorio: Version 1.0 as final release

At the end of 2019, Factorio broke through the two million units sold mark in Early Access. But the huge success of the indie game is far from over:

• The release version 1.0 appeared on August 14, 2020.
• Since the game had already been honed far during the long Early Access phase, the innovations were limited to the release. For example, there were some new graphic effects, the Spidertron was introduced the mod support improved.
• Nevertheless, the gold version should mean the starting signal for further progress. The technical foundation is now considered largely stable and trouble-free, all features and mechanics are implemented and balanced - the designation "stable" speaks for itself.

Factorio 1.0 should also attract more players, as not all gamers like the feeling of an unfinished Early Access title. Factorio still costs 25 euros on Steam and there is a free demo to get to know it.
