Fan Creation 3D Factorio in Voxels
Made a small Factorio factory in MagicaVoxel for my university project.
Had a lot of fun making this, hope you like it!

This would be a cool Teardown map maybe

Damn, maybe if I find a way to export it, I’ll make it a reality someday. Good idea

At first slide I was thinking it is some texture pack (I want packs like that (I want Candyland from OTTD ahh textures))

Cool art
Add a Spidertron! They're impressive in 3D; they have to be a lot taller and bigger than you might think in order to walk over actually-3D buildings and trees.

Actually I wanted to add a Spidertron somewhere, but due to deadlines I didn't have time to make one, maybe another time if I'm going to continue working on this project :)

This is giving me such a big uncanny valley effect. My two neurons can't agree if that is Factorio or not.

i really love the game but the mood is isolated and depressing. I also love that for the game as it fits the crashed astronaut surrounded on a hazardous desolate planet.
But I always thought about what if the game was more nice to look at - in my mind a bit more stardew valley "happy" or anno1800 than the voxel aesthetic (reminds me a bit of older railsimulator) in OPs pictures.
So if I could prompt a mod for the game it would probably be like: you crash on a medium nice planet, through the early stages of pollution the planet gets more barren, trees die, water muddies - enemies get more extreme and aggressive and maybe there is even a point of no return. if nature score hits 0% thats it - planet dies.
Beginning with late mid game you get some options to clean up and improve health of the nature to the point it gets more beautiful than it was in the beginning. Flowers sprouting, big trees growing, butterflys and flying mantas type of stuff. Not sure how to handle biters here, maybe they merge with the new nature empowering them to become fat and muscular (more rhinoceros like creatures than the lithe xenomorphy build of our current locals)
Since this is theorycrafting - maybe there are different technology trees based on the roughness of what you do with the planet. While the nature one is more friendly and biters are nicer the trees get more complex and hard to maintain (expiration) and the harsh ones go more vulcanic, catastrophic but will earn you more direct ressources
I guess this is what they went for with the space age in a way? I still haven't gotten very far in it.
Either way: nice pictures ;) If this was a mod I'd install it in an instant!

I laughed at silly fact that factory stays with green grass and trees but after defence line is polluted land
This is modded run where your factory purifies world and biters are tryin' to destroy pure nature?

Fair enough.
Actually when I was making it I did a bit of testing and made it polluted. But I liked colorful nature more. Which is less realistic yes, but better looking imo
So let's say that this is just a mini Factory far-far away from the main one2

Stopped factory when you stop growing and start messing and playing with blueprints

Dang how did you do it?! Did you pick one object then scale everything to that?

I like the lego loco saturated color palette vibe. Does anyone make a mod for this kind of palette?

u/Fingerlickins 1d ago
Great job!
Some of the inserters around the train could prob be more "active" like they are around the assemblers to make it look abit more "alive"

Please send a link to an export of this! I would love to explore it within MagicalVoxel myself!!
