I thought this game was well known but I haven't seen almost any mentions of it recently. It's very weird for a FOSS enthusiast not to advertise one of the best open-source games of all time so here I am trying to make it spoken about again.

If you notice any symptoms of addiction while and/or after playing the game, stop playing immediately and consult with your doctor.

I hate old games.

Is 2020 considered old...?. I understand that the game was available for some time prior to that, but during that period Factorio was in early access. 1.0 came out in 2020, and I am treating that as the full release, and everything prior to that is beta testing for development.

I meant old looking graphics too. Factorio definitely has it.

Factorio's art style may draw its inspiration from older games that had technological limitations that forced specific art techniques, but I'd only be guessing — I haven't found any official source that states where Factorio drew its artistic inspiration.
