I have put several hundred hours, quite possibly thousands, into this game. My dad first introduced me to it, and i played vanilla factorio for about 5 hours, and after that i decided that it was too simple and so i started my adventure into modded factorio. I have tried almost all the big overhaul mods, and i felt like the added complexity made sense, and threw vanilla aside as too simple for my engineering mind.
Fast forward to this week, with the update just around the corner, and i decided to beat the game without any overhaul mods (i tried completely vanilla but that lasted about 10 minutes before i decided i needed some of my go to QOL mods). This is some of the most fun i have had playing factorio. it makes sense, its balanced, but there are still plenty of puzzles to deal with. Yes, modded factorio is fun, but i really underestimated how fun the base game is, with no extra content. I am very excited to finish this latest run and then start 2.0. I was wrong about vanilla factorio, its as fun, if not more fun than modded factorio.
