The ''campaign'' gamemode is Factorio's equivalent of a story mode. Campaigns are pre-generated levels where the [[player]] must accomplish some preset task, such as scanning the surroundings, [[research]]ing a certain technology, or providing a certain amount of resources into a chest. Upon completion, a game finish report is given, similar to freeplay, where kills and completion time are tallied. Completing the campaigns is not necessary to play freeplay.

This campaign is included with the demo.
 
* Level 1: The player spawns in a small world, next to a shipwreck that contains 8 [[iron plate]]s. The player is tasked with using them to craft an [[iron axe]], mining [[iron ore]] and [[stone]] to craft a  [[stone furnace]] to smelt the iron ore to iron plates. The player needs to mine some [[tree]]s or some [[coal]] for fuel and later needs to craft a [[burner mining drill]] with the smelted iron ore. The level ends with the player wanting to explore their surroundings after automatically smelting some of the iron ore.
* Level 2: Basic combat is introduced, and small production targets are set in preparation for the journey.
* Level 3: A larger map with multiple resource patches, biter nests, and more technology is available. Power, assemblers, turrets, and inserters are all available. A shipwreck is discovered the surroundings are mapped by radar. The player then sets off for a survivor base they discovered, presumably that featured in a New Hope.

:''You managed to locate the remains of a fallen ship. Now comes the hard part. In order to get started with any serious colonization of this planet you will need the data from the ship's computer. The computer will allow you to research more advanced technologies, as well as give you a better idea of the surrounding area. The bad news is that there seems to be a large alien base close to the shipwreck...''
 
This campaign was part of the beta. Level 1 involves the reclamation of an intermediate level base that has fallen to biter attacks.
