I first played it because I heard it described as "Factorio lite", which seems fairly apt after playing it. It's not nearly as deep as Factorio but it scratches the same itch.

That's not because you didn't know about it that it is a "new trend" https://github.com/Poussinou/FLOSS-Games-on-Steam https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38475471-Libre-Open-S... It's nothing new, and also exist in the tooling side of things https://store.steampowered.com/app/431730/Aseprite/ - https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite
Aseprite isn't open source.

A very long time ago, my dad prepared me for this risk by buying Civilization just before my high school final exam. I graduated with 268% on Emperor.
and how were your high school grades?

What are you talking about? The parent comment literally linked the GitHub repo with the Aseprite source.

And more. Doesn't seem FOSS, more like "readable source" or similar.

> and yet mindustry uses Java and made it work I'm pretty sure the game I've spent the most hours playing over the last few years is written in java - Slay the spire. Minecraft was originally Java too I think.
The Bedrock edition of Minecraft (XBox, Microsoft store) is in C++. The original is still built with Java and called the Java Edition (unless I missed some big news the past few years)
Sad that mojang went bankrupt after 1.7.10, though.
I find the new trend interesting, to sell the game on Steam, but have a link to Github with the actual source. So free for developers and people who care to find out. Thats fair, I think, but I would prefer if the direct donation model would be more established among the masses. But this link points to the general site, with lots of options and also directly the free version. Kudos. Will try it out later.

Because of the cut steam takes I guess. And fixed price, and a middleman, and depends on a central platform, etc
available (nearly) anywhere, built in support forums, refund capability, and until a couple of years ago being able to use bitcoin to pay (buy steam gift cards with bitcoin). family sharing - where another computer can play games you've bought if it's on the same network, is also a nice feature. I know it doesn't matter here because the game is open source (or whatever), but in the general sense it's reduced my spend…
The first one I found wants a 40% cut of any settlement. I have no basis to know if that's reasonable or not - on its face it doesn't seem crazy, and 60% of something is still more than nothing, but I can't help but wonder if there's a better deal out there. How are you being represented in the class action suit?

Sounds like something I might try. Factorio has a tower defense element that never really works because the attacks are too small, my base is too large, and I always just wipe out the biter camps. That's an aspect of the game that clearly needs a lot more challenge, but lots of players just ignore it and build. For my first half-dozen tries, I always built may bases far too compact. I really had to learn to use the s…
You have the difficulty sliders and the death world preset and an entire enemies tag on https://mods.factorio.com . What more do you want?

But that repository doesn't have any FOSS license. Only I can find is "EULA.txt" which contains stuff like: > (c) Prohibition on Reverse Engineering, Decompilation, and Disassembly.
