When you don’t know how to code, you just put these nodes together, and if it doesn’t work you just keep adding more and more and become increasingly confused. It contains no gameplay, however you can fly around and visit your base in 3D.

To put it simply, this project is a 3D visualization environment which can import bases from the Factorio game and visually replicate their behavior. While many creative people in the Factorio modding community create awesome large-scale mods like Space Exploration, Bob’s mods or Angel’s, we decided to take a slightly different approach. It was created by 3D artist Hurricane and Factorio modder Nuke during a five month period, starting on January 10th 2023. What is FUE5?įUE5 (short for Factorio in Unreal Engine 5) is an experimental project with a simple goal: to visualize the 2D world of Factorio in 3D space. There’s lots of technical details on how this was achieved, so let’s jump in. It’s not quite a game, but more of a stunning re-imagining of its visuals. It’s Factorio, but 3D! Dreams do come true sometimes. Today we’ve got a very fun project to talk about: The FUE5 project, explained in this article by Hurricane.
