Click By The Problem You Need To Solve Now
This is not another section list. It separates the five common reader intents: first visit, systems, map blockers, cleanup, and video support.
When the blocker is damage, resources, or loadout choices, start from systems and build routing instead of map pages.
If the problem is route order, locations, regions, or side quest flow, skip straight to the map and quest layer.
When you are cleaning up before or after the finale, use the completion hub instead of backtracking through random posts.
When timing, movement, or arena structure matters, start with video support and then return to written pages for exact checks.

Site Positioning
The Factorio site is now live as a Phase 3 hot-game scaffold. The first goal is not to flood the site with thin pages, but to lock in the routes players will actually search for: what to do first, how the core systems work, how to route map and quest progress, and what can be missed.
This hub can now expand with release, update, and search-demand signals. The homepage, section pages, and FAQ are in place so future work can split into individual quests, gear pages, map routes, bosses, collectibles, and update explainers.
Core Sections
- Starter Route: first goals, route order, resources, and blocker checks.
- Systems and Builds: gear, skills, classes, vehicles, weapons, or core mechanics.
- Map and Quests: region order, quest nodes, side choices, and cleanup.
- Completion and Updates: achievements, collectibles, endings, DLC, patches, and long-term updates.
- Video Guides: route demonstrations, boss timing, map checks, cleanup, and future video backlog.
