Question 1

True or false: Biters are the only enemy that attacks your factory in the base game.

Accepted Answer

False. Spitters also attack in the base game; they are a separate ranged enemy type that evolves alongside biters.

Question 2

True or false: Biters evolve faster the more pollution your factory produces.

Accepted Answer

True. Biter evolution is directly tied to total pollution generated, not just time; more pollution means tougher enemies sooner.

Question 3

True or false: The game includes a built-in blueprint library that syncs across all your saves.

Accepted Answer

True. Factorio has a global blueprint library stored separately from save files, allowing blueprints to be shared across any game.

Question 4

True or false: Factorio's map is infinite, and the terrain generation never repeats.

Accepted Answer

False. The map is practically infinite but uses a fixed seed, so terrain does eventually repeat in a predictable pattern after an enormous distance.

Question 5

True or false: You can launch a rocket without ever researching military technologies.

Accepted Answer

True. A peaceful playthrough is fully supported; you can win by launching a rocket without any military research if you disable enemy expansion.

Question 6

True or false: The game was originally developed by a single person over several years.

Accepted Answer

True. Factorio was created primarily by Michal 'kovarex' Kovařík, who coded and designed it alone for years before hiring a small team.

Question 7

True or false: You can run Factorio entirely from a USB drive without installation.

Accepted Answer

False. The Windows version requires installation for updates and DRM, though a portable version exists but is not officially supported for full features.

Question 8

True or false: Transport belts cannot be placed on top of underground belts.

Accepted Answer

False. You can place regular belts directly over underground belt entrances or exits, though the underground belt's functionality remains.
