Factorio vs Planet Zoo
Factorio
Factorio is a simulation game where you build, expand and maintain a series of factories. The game will require you to take control of the entire production line from obtaining resources you need right up to packaging the final product while constantly upgrading and modifying every aspect of your factories to improve their productivity. As your enterprise grows, you'll eventually unlock a plethora of technologically advanced machineries, tools and hires that are basically a lot better than what you currently have.That's not all, apparently the world you'll be setting up your factories in isn't very "factory-friendly". Expect to have to deal with frequent attacks by the local inhabitants. You might want to set up turrets, walls, and other defensive structures to protect your machines from damage that will, god forbid, disrupt your production line.
Interestingly, the game has a cooperative multiplayer game mode where you can work with your friends to create a massive factories-filled world. The game may sound like an endless freeplay sort, but there are some fun challenges for you to complete as well as a Map Editor for you to create new maps to play in.
Factorio is the sort of game that will appeal to players who like managing stuff, namely fans of tycoon-like games. It also has a nice little tower defense-like element to it that spice things up a bit, along with other events that will put your problem-solving skills to the test.
Planet Zoo
Planet Zoo is one of the most anticipated zoo simulation game that is currently being developed by none other than the experts of simulation games, Frontier Development, the very people behind such successful titles as Jurassic World Evolution, Planet Coaster and Elite Dangerous. Similar to their previous titles, Planet Zoo is set to dominate the zoo sim/management genre with incredibly in-depth customization, different biomes to build your zoos in, and of course, lots and lots of animals!Although Planet Zoo is still pretty much a work in progress, what we could see in the game definitely made our jaws drop in amazement. The game has an impressive lineup of animals, and we’re sure they are planning to add even more as the game inches ever closer to its release date; plus, almost everything in the game is customizable, including your animals if you know how genetics work. Similar to their other games, Planet Zoo has Steam Workshop support, and from what we can see, an enthusiastic community who will keep the game alive years after its release.
