The minimap is located in the top right hand corner of the Factorio display. It includes:

  • a research bar;
  • a row of icons to access a number of game screens; and
  • a minimap showing an overview of the map.

Research bar

Minimap with no research
Minimap showing research progress

When no research is in progress, the top of the minimap provides instruction on starting new research. When research is started, the minimap visually displays the progress of the research. The display does not indicate the cost of the research, only the relative progress. That is, the length of the bar is the same regardless of whether the research costs 10 or 1000 science packs.

Minimap icons

The minimap icons provides access to the following elements:

  • Blueprint library (B)
  • Production statistics (P)
  • Bonuses
  • Tutorials
  • Trains
  • Achievements

Map overview

The minimap shows an overview of the map, centered on the player.
