Playing all day so when going to sleep you only see transport belts running in front of your eyes

so this is from the artist's website: "All the music and sound effects were composed, created, mixed and mastered by myself. The soundtrack consists of over 75 minutes of original music and world ambience. There are over 230 sound effects for the game. At the beginning I would not have believed that I would have stood in fields at night to record wind in the trees, burnt fence panels, recorded lawnmower engines, and recorded shop security shutters opening and closing, it's been a revelation!"

the soundtrack just makes you feel... lonely

The Factorio soundscape is so uniquely unsettling. Just that slow progression of verdant forests withering away to barren wastelands as the petulant smog of industry chokes the world dry. The soundtrack reflects that really well with how lonely and haunting it can feel at times

The fact that I have 1500 hours in this game with the music still on means something.

19:01 I just really like this bit, I'm not sure why. It feels like the main theme of the game to me

when you thought its just a few songs on a loop but its over 2 hours long and no matter where you skip you recognize every song

39:45 Favorite

factorio represents games as games. most other games try to be games as movies, games as art. factorio is the kind of game that can absorb your entire soul. really incredible. can't wait for full release and factorio 2 with ray tracing!

Solar Intervention 39:05​ absolutely the best part of this OST.

I could hardly name other game with such atmosphere when you playing it over silent hours of the night

10:55 I get goosebumps everytime

16:16 When the Factorio Fatigue sets in...

"Beat to relax/expand factory to"

You start off with basically nothing... and slowly grow faster and faster... from steem engines and coal everywhere, into space. There's a bit of history in this game, lots of math, design and most importanly art.

21:38 Cities Skylines! How scandoulous! what are you doing here!

Whenever I play a factory game other than Factorio, I always mute the music and keep listening to this playlist. It just fits this style of game perfectly, its actually insane how well made this soundtrack is.

36:05 ... oh my, this is beautiful... I could listen to this for hours, bravo for composer, incredible track

This OST perfectrly depicts the everlasting fight between a human and the nature.

50:38 I don’t know why but when I listen to “the search for iron” I always think of an abandoned factory by the shores of an eternal sea

37:30 is probably on of my favourites. It kinda feels like its the song of the nature and the hearbeat of this planet and that you should admire it.

37:20, the melodic drone kinda noise is just amazing, and fits so well when you're feeling some progression in factorio, what a game, and what a simplistic but effective soundtrack as well, can't wait for the full release of the game later this year!

-gets train, proceeds to make a loop and zoom around it for 30 minutes

love when the keyboard kicks in at 3:05

Solar Intervention brought me here. Great tune.

29:11 I have *never* heard that super quiet electronic/chip-tune sound before. Heard this song so many times but have never noticed that until now. The song was already perfect for the game, and now hearing that sound, I'm brought to tears. It was there all along.

Some of them feel like you can go to another dimension in the game, but when you feel yourself in the game, its the factory expanding. Like dark matter, it will expand and as you expand the factory it expands faster and faster. Growing until you've reached the map's end, even then you expand the factory, no tile gone to waste. You don't feel time anymore. You don't feel hunger, sadness, or anger, only expansion. "The factory must grow. The factory must grow." You look around to find where the voice came from and see nobody is around you. The window next to you is dark, its night. You look at your bed. It looks comfortable. You look back at your factory. "I need more gears" You mumble. You tell yourself to do one last task then go to bed. It's been 12 hours. You fixed the gear problem 11 hours ago. "The factory must grow. The factory must grow," you mumble over and over again. Your family is worried. They tried yelling at you, grabbing you, and then gave up. They come in every once and a while to check in on you. "The factory must grow," you mumble as responses. It's been days. It's been weeks. The factory will always be demanding something new. Everything needs more. Iron production low. Copper wire production low. Red circuit production low. Finally, after weeks, you get off. Everything flashes back to you at once like a slingshot being pulled back every second you where gone being released onto you. You pass out right at your desk. Even in your dreams, you find yourself saying "The factory must grow" over and over again. When you wake up, you see your playtime in factorio. 2688 hours. You check your phone. 1300 messages from friends, family, and spammers. You decide it's best to delete factorio, as it already has done enough. You fix everything in life. Everything seems great from a friend's perspective, but deep inside, you know the factory is calling you. At night, you hear voices say "The factory must grow" over and over again. Nothing will ever get rid of the factory. You can never escape the factory. *"The factory must grow"*

Damn this game has a good soundtrack.

I love working to this music. -Harvester Games

@37:20 makes almost everything in to epic moment!

sentient is an absolutely amazing inspiring track. I love it every time I hear it in game.

Seriously, what a great soundtrack. Absolutely love the vibe and how it suits the game. I can feel loneliness, danger, machine and life sounds. It is just mood of what it would feel like trying to tame and conquer a new planet, facing an unknown.

pollution is my personal fave

Efficiency Program makes me more efficient at work especially the part at 19:02

22:35 - this is like your first 20 hours in factorio and you discover that you can do much much more

This game really reminds me of little inferno. They're completely different but there's an atmosphere that both have. It's the mix between the awe and the regret that comes from industry.

this soundtrack does a great job of adding to the atmosphere of you expanding your factory on a planet you are not welcome on

40:00 is always so fire

This was the soundtrack of 1/2 my life until I got a handle on things. Addictorio had its hooks in me for several months. Thanks for sharing!

30:30 Favorite [2]

Sentient ♥ (36:05)

Мне всегда нравились такого рода мелодии, как бы объяснить, при их прослушивании возникает чувство, будто ты ничтожная пищинка в этом бесконечном мире, особенно если ты наедине сам с собой, ты начинаешь задумываться над всем, и нередко возникает невольные страх и грусть. Ведь умеют же люди делать атомсферные игры! :)

30:30 favorite 51:28 i love this one too

7:20 I get chills every time

watching the pretty trees turn brown and die, the grass wither, the sky fade to a cloudy haze, all for the glorious progress of industry

This game and soundtrack give me such a Fallout 1 and 2 vibe, I love it

15:54 Sounds like Batman Arkham Whatever 28:00 Sounds like Mass Effect 28:36 Sounds like Mass Effect and Skyrim

27:07 this one really rewards you as it builds. Genius.

Listening to that I feel like a kid listening to the Minecraft soundtrack... Weird... :I

"Are we alone?" is so, so hauntingly beautiful. It might be my favourite.

'Sentient' is definitely my favorite. It contains the whole story of the game, if you listen carefully

27:45 love this part, beautiful

This is a wonderful album to let play in the background whilst programming!

In all of life there is a factory that must grow.

so I'm listening through and then it gets to 10:56 and I get goosebumps. It sounded awesome.

It’s not even been my 2nd day of playing the legendary game with is beautiful music composition, and track solar intervention already is sending chills down my spine it is that good. I guarantee it will be nostalgic in 5 years, aswell as many of those tracks, thank you whoever composed these.

Thank you for this.

This is one of the few modern games that still captures the unsettling feeling soundtracks of 2000-2013 were able to capture.

Came here looking for Sentient. What a great piece. Wish it was longer. Thank you for posting this.

When I think of Factorio, I always think of Pollution. An edited part of it is what you hear when you turn on the game, after all.

Thank you alot for this

I love The Search for Iron. The steel drum is quite an impressive instrument.

If there was ever a soundtrack that sounded so naturally unnatural, it has to be this. A fantastic compliment to the atmosphere of factorio.

This is absolute masterpiece! I always listen to this soundtrack when I have to focus on something. It greatly helps to get tasks done!

Efficiency Program 16:57 fav

I remember having to build so many underground tunnels for pipes and conveyor belts, my base was a total mess. I liked a certain project, where coal from the mine was picked up by an array of auto-smelters, then into a row of chests and into a chemical plant, then from the last chest onto a track that transported the coal to the boilers. Oh, and also dying dozens of times to biters. Ah, my first time with this game.

Amazing soundtrack for one of the best games in decades. This and Kenshi are currently top of my list.

i couldn't imagine a game which had captured the feeling of being alone in the whole planet better than factorio.

28:00 I like this part of Gathering Horizon a lot

I listen to this every single night on a sleep timer when I go to bed

For some reason the main melody/theme of this never gets old - amazing work

16:20 Is the sound associated with death in Rome. I love that this is in here.

23:15 16:20 Always stuck in my head.

Does anyone else think that Factorio looks (and sounds) similar to Fallout 1 + 2?

36:05 this gives me chills...

16:20 I just love that part.

I’m glad I’m not the only one to think Solar Intervention is the best part of this. So nostalgic, idk why. I emailed the artist once thanking him, he was very kind.

Beyond factory outskirts (#14) is my favourite one, especially the begging part

how can a soundtrack be so amazingly beautiful, i could hear this in 10 years and say it is from factorio, so recognizable

There's a beauty to the feeling of this soundtrack, and the game as a whole, which I don't know how to describe. It's just so desolate yet comforting. There's also the guilt that comes with completely beating an untouched planet into submission but the compulsion to continue as you're too far gone and the factory must grow...

holy fuckkkkkk the quality, well done

factorio's ost fit the game so well. congratz to the artist.

I dont usually listen to music much when I study as it distracts me but for some reason this is like the ultimate study music for me just makes me focus so much.

I hear this music in my head, all day long, even when I'm not playing. So good!

This is a masterpiece.

10:56 i just love this part

Been trying to figure out which track is my favorite, have come to the conclusion that they all are. The coherence in this ost is quite frankly astounding

Factorio is one of the most underrated games out there.

Such a great game. The music is absolutely brilliant.

I love this music it always made me feel so eerie

That feeling, you finaly get drons after hours and say what a messy large base. After another days you build trains then zoom out and start searching for original base. And after another days:,, where is that pixel of my original base on the map?" One of the few games where you don't have to turn music off.

23:15 that part always make me remember matrix hahaha

Woah.. this is beautiful..... it can keep you up for hours than a good song starts playing to remind you, that you've been up for 12 hours straight.

I can hear belts in the background even when the music is paused

Factorio is one of really few games these days where game is about playing. There was a term in my language for 80s games which i could translate to "honeyness". Honey is sweet and sticky, also it's eyecathing when it slowly flows. So were these games, player character consisted of 64 pixels but i've simulated fever to not go to school and play all day long. Same is true with factorio, i am almost 40yo but i feel like a kiddo when i am setting up semaphores to automate resources' transportation beteen mines and processing plants. Music is same story, i was playing demo version for a week or so, not to win just to fool around in "abandoned railbase" level 5, there wasn't single time that music was boring or annoying.

this OST has been ingrained into my mind

39:20 i love this one so much it always plays when im in the middle of thinking really really hard about my next railway network plan

в сравнении с электронщиной миндустри более глухо, размеренно и увлекательно

_Sentient_ is by far my favourite of this soundtrack. I'm playing the game now and it kicked in, and I had to pause to listen to it, it's when the voices kick in, that chord sequence really does something to me.
