How Factorio uses Blender

Bart ·

Factorio is an indie game that’s all about automation – you set up your own processing plants that transforms raw materials into more and more complicated products, helping you to conquer the planet you’re stranded on.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.
