if you have a completely energy adn oil based defence that requires zero non-renewable resources, i.e. Eventually you will reach equilibrium, where the biter menace keeps you from efficiently expanding further. But biter influx increases as the exposed surface of the base perimeter. Your resource collection, other than power and oil, is linear depending on the player(s) time effciiency. On deathworld it is to see how long you can outlast the revenous hordes of biters. I suppose at that point the goal is to see how much of the planet you can develop before your UPS gets unbearably low. Rocket launches generate white research, which is used to research the end game technologies, basically infinite upgrades liek artillery range, mining productivity, etc. Originally posted by ssg:Does Factorio have any end game? What I understand you can build your base so you can launch rocket or satelites, but they only generate reseach which doesn't have any purpose at that point.
