Factorio will reach its 1.0 version four years after it debuted on Steam.
The explosion of the independent scene in the last decade has left us proposals of all colors and shapes. Less crowded genres, such as management and strategy, have been raised to the delight of their followers. Today is a day of relief for those who continue to build their final factory: Factorio will arrive on September 25, 2020.
Recall that the title of Wube Software LTD came to the early access program last 2016. Since then, they have gradually shaped a title that generated popularity among those who decided to give it a try. At the time of writing these lines, you have an almost perfect assessment in the Steam evaluation system. Almost 50 thousand extremely positive analyzes speak for themselves.
The reasons for the decision
This has been confirmed by the company, which has taken advantage of its official communication channel to confirm what the future of Factorio holds. They recognize that development is getting too long. “The philosophy‘ will be made when it is done ’that we have followed has served us to offer a high quality product, but if we follow this path we could go on forever,” says the statement.
The problem comes when introducing new functions lose the objective of polishing the parts that are already present in the game. "We think the game is polished enough right now, so pressing the button to launch version 1.0 would not be a catastrophe."
However, launching the final product does not mean that they finish introducing new features. “We will focus on the most important aspects until the launch date. Once the final moment arrives, we will rest and come back to consider what we can do in terms of content and functionalities. ”
