Factorio is played from the angled top down perspective of the player.

The physical representation (or the Engineer) of the player is the character, who is always at the center of view. In multiplayer, player characters will appear in different colors. Color can be set manually with the /color command, see Console. These colors transfer to any entered car or tank, depending on which player is driving them. These colors also transfer to gun turrets, laser turrets or gates, depending on who they were placed by.

The character is part of the player and represents the physical existence of the player in the game-world. In technical terms: A character is just one property of the player, and it is the only that can be controlled at a time.

The character's maximum health is 250 (without energy shields). The character's main inventory has 80 slots (without bonuses from power armor, toolbelt research, or logistic trash slots). Similar to the stationary radar, the character constantly reveals an area of 5×5 chunks, centered on the chunk the character occupies.

Distinction between player and character

Two different color characters in multiplayer.

Technically the player is only the "player-view". The player is unlike the character, (the little person that runs around on the ground) The character is part of the player, but the player is not just the character.

You can for example play in god-mode (such as in the sandbox game mode). In that mode you don't have a character, only a player.

In other words, the Player is a term that encompasses both the internal code that defines a player, and the entity in game that interacts with machines/rocks/trees, which is the character. While this distinction is important for modding and understanding the game's core, the terms can be used interchangeably for most conversations. For the purpose of this article, "player" will be used.

World interaction

The player has six primary ways of interacting with the world:

  1. Crafting items personally from resources using the craft menu (Default open key: E)
  2. Placing entities or tiles by selecting them from the inventory or quickbar (Default: Left Mouse Button)
    1. Opening contextual menus for entities like Assembly Machines or Chests, using the same button
    2. Removing an entity from the world, returning it to your inventory (Default: Hold Right Mouse Button)
  3. Harvesting resources from a resource entity (Default: Hold RMB)
  4. Picking up non-placed items from the ground and placing them in your inventory (Default: Hold/press F)
  5. Firing weapons at enemies (Default: Press or hold Spacebar depending on weapon)
  6. Passively with a flashlight that automatically turns on during the night time (which transfers to headlights if the player is in a vehicle.)

For more key-bindings, see Keyboard bindings

Note: The player can do that only, if his character owns the abilities for this. For example: He cannot fire a weapon, cause he has no weapons-slots.

Death

When a player is killed, it leaves behind a corpse that lasts 15 minutes and contains all items that were located in the player's inventory, quickbar, trash slots, and equipment slots. 10 seconds after being killed, the player respawns at the center of the world.

Quickbar and shortcut bar

Main article: Quickbar

The quickbar is a user interface component for creating links to items that are always visible at the bottom of the screen. Once created they can be quickly selected at any time without needing to open the inventory. It shows between one and four bars from a set of ten available, each containing 10 slots. Clicking any filled slot will place the chosen item in the player's hand if available in the inventory.

Main article: Shortcut bar

The shortcut bar is a group of icons for accessing regularly used features such as obtaining blueprints and deconstruction planners with a simple mouse click. It is always visible at the bottom of the screen, appearing to the right of the quickbar. The icons can be hidden and their order can be changed. A maximum of 12 icons can be visible at one time.

History

  • 0.13.14:
    • Surplus items from crafting are again available for crafting other items. For example, crafting two green circuits will no longer result in two extra copper wires in the player's inventory.

    • Armors have inventory size bonuses (10 for modular armor, 20 for power armor, 30 for power armor mk2).
