Factorio is a construction and management simulation game developed and published by Czech studio Wube Software. The game follows an engineer who crash-lands on an alien planet and must harvest resources and create automated industry to build a rocket; players can continue the game after achieving the end goal. There are both single-player and multiplayer modes, as well as eight additional game scenarios.

The game was announced via a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo in 2013 and released for Windows, macOS, and Linux on 14 August 2020 following an early access phase, which was made available on 25 February 2016. The game was released on Nintendo Switch on 28 October 2022 and the port to Nintendo Switch 2 on 22 December 2025.

A major paid expansion called Space Age was released on 21 October 2024, adding 4 new planets and extending the game past the rocket launch.
