The game is very stable and optimized for building massive factories. You can create your own maps, write mods in Lua, or play with friends via Multiplayer. Factorio has been in development since the spring of 2012. So far over 2,000,000 people have bought the game. You can get it. Original mod adds a configurable equipment grid to any base or modded vehicle without grid. This just makes it compatible with Krastorio 2 instead of VortiK's Armor Plating. (original mod has an incompatibility with Krastorio 2 to resolve a dependency loop.
