What will be very interesting, as stated in the article, is to see what the factorio creatives in the community figure out what to hack together based on this...
I expect some sort of UE5 factorio-esque battle system...
Imagine a game where you run a factory, and you haveto maintain it - while a bunch of PvP FPS shooter are running through your factory battleing it out and keep dmaging your supply lines and you have to fix them - you can choose to join the factory maintenance team, or be a PvP player laying waste to your enemies and fucking up the factory supply lines for the other teams at the same time.
