Question 1

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 2

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 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: 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 5

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

Accepted Answer

False. Factorio's map is not infinite; it's bounded by 32-bit integer limits, causing crashes beyond about 2,000,000 tiles from spawn. Terrain does not repeat within that area due to unique procedural generation.

Question 6

True or false: In Factorio, 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 7

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

Accepted Answer

True. In Factorio, underground belts occupy a tile, and you cannot place a transport belt on an occupied tile. Thus, placing a transport belt on top of an underground belt is not possible without first removing the underground belt.

Question 8

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

Accepted Answer

True. Factorio offers a DRM-free portable version that can be run directly from a USB drive without installation. The developers provide a zip archive; extracting it creates a fully playable game that saves data locally.
