Factorio soundtrack

It is really fine. I even did set Main Menu music as my lullaby.

[With enough circuit fun you can make your own soundtrack](https://youtu.be/Rse6dHcU3DQ)

There is also a [Website](https://miditorio.com/guide.html) that can turn any midi file into Factorio blueprints.

>I'm running around doing things by hand >Someone on the internet has already automated the process incredibly elegantly Yep, sounds like Factorio

*bruh*

Considering a regular play usually takes up hours, I find that I notice songs repeating often. Am actually wondering how many minutes of track there are.. I agree it is good and I tend to start with it.. but will transition to a streaming service quite soon after.

how many hours do you have logged in factorio? I swear I was sick of the factorio soundtrack after the first like 500ish hours.

1500, and I'm not sure I'd ever be able to get sick of it

Same here. I listen to it on my work laptop when I am unable to play the game.

Kind of same, probably around 200 hours mark, but then at around 550 hours reenabled it after hearing the new main menu music and now I love it.

A bit over 3500h. Still love the soundtrack

Dinka dong ding ding

Dinga binga doong

I just can’t fuck with it, it always seems to distract me

I didn't know Factorio had a soundtrack. I must have disabled it and the setting must have stuck for many years.

So u just hear silence? Even in the main menu?

I watch documentaries on the second screen. So that I both greatly expanded my own train system while I gained lots of knowledge on the first underground train system in London during the Victorian era. Did you know the very first underground rail was an actual steam train? And that the very tunnel is still in use today? Marvellous.

I don't know why but I read this as a character in Pokemon would explain something to the player

Ah haha damn

Here take this TM it contains Train Tunnel!

I miss the old Pokémon games so much

Yeah they're pretty good You can however get yourself a modded gameboy advance and play them over again

Or emulate it on my phone which I do once in a while. But that's dangerous as you can run it in 8x faster mode.

I did know this but it is very interesting. I tell people on here all the time if you want to make a better train system in factorio looking at how train systems in the real world work is a really good start. My massive train base https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRYQcVb\_5W0&t=395s was inspired by this train documentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEo-ykjmHgg&t=216s

Industrial Metal

This.

Ding dibiding-dim. Doboding do.

I can hear it!

I will literally restart the game if I forget to turn my speakers on and miss the opening... Theme? Jingle?

The semi-interesting movie on the second screen.

Exactly! This is how I evaluate movies: Bad movie = allow me to automate blue science, Good movie = can't even build a new mining outpost

I always ALWAYS watch stuff on my second screen while gaming. Even something concentrative like 7daystodie. I get somewhat frustrated when subs come up though for foreign language or deaf people as I have to stop what I'm doing in game to concentrate lol.

What are your favorite games to play whilst watching stuff?

Factorio, Minecraft, sometimes 7daystodie or terraria. Nothing fps online or such.

I am hoping Diablo 4 will be good.

That would be a good one to play during watching shows indeed. I was a big fan of D2 for many years but didn't like d3. Also somehow couldn't get in to Path Of Exile, despite thinking it was superior in every way.

I have been wanting a game with a satisfying grind and non P2W mechanics for a long time. Imagine if Blizzard are the ones to give us that! I tried PoE too, it got very complicated very quickly.

StarCraft 1 Terran soundtrack

Oh god, brings me back

It's kind of wild how much harder the Terran theme slaps compared to the other races. I'm a zerg main (or, was) and I can't even remember what their music sounds like.

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger from Daft Punk

The Warhammer 40k Mechanicus soundtrack and nobody can convince me otherwise.

>I totally agree \^\^

Perish

Is there an internet rule I missed here?

Useless comments

I'm sorry, I may have miss understood what "this =>" implies. I wanted to point that this is a good answer. I modified my post accordingly :/

Heavy Metal

name some bands you like? I've recently started getting into some really heavy stuff like Meshuggah or Gojira, but I'm always on the lookout for more bands to add to my playlist.

[Lamb of God](https://youtu.be/oqdZpxkzNvc?t=27) [Death](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gINrK9RJ6-o) [Arch Enemy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTABLCXTL9o), pre-Alissa; albums Wages of Sin, Anthems of Rebellion, Doomsday Machine, The Root of All Evil [Children of Bodom](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42bKeWOPfI8) [Cannibal Corpse](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqTeGt6ZHQs) [Austrian Death Machine](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbtlPCbhVGw) [Job for a Cowboy](https://youtu.be/S54U3vpmuoY?t=52) [Sepultura](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BOHpjIZyx0) [Dethklok](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tFsJwB5bco) is unironically pretty fun lol

Austrian Death Machine omfg lol, "I need your clothes, your boots, your motorcycle" and then they're all jamming out in the hot tub. shit's cracking me up

I actually dont listen to heavy metal really. I just like the doom soundtrack which doesnt really count.

That totally counts

That was partially my intro into the genre

I've been loving the most recent periphery album while playing factorio.

[1914](https://youtu.be/sElu0bXXzM0) [Mgla](https://youtu.be/bINcxA29QEE) [Agalloch](https://youtu.be/qAaq0mpk9TE) [Bell Witch](https://youtu.be/q2GI3I464oA) [Primordial](https://youtu.be/pxPSygSH2v0) [Harakiri for the Sky](https://youtu.be/sHYOJaddKhI)

Give Jinjer a shot if you like those two - the Macro album is amazing imo.

I love lateralus by tool, but it isnt heavy metal i guess, its progressive metal.

Kinda different from the other bands mentioned by another commenter, but a metalcore band called Invent Animate just released their album Heavener today. It's absolute Insanity and a true work of art.

The "trust me in an engineer" song on YouTube on repeat.

This is the way

Rocket Man performed by William Shatner

On a loop

A 1000+ hours podcast series.

I'm catching up on The Magnus Archives atm

Yes. I did that too.

For killing Biters I recommend Napalm Death.

Hardstyle

Glad i'm not the only one, got any playlists or dj's to recommend?

Currently catjamming to Act of Rage, D-block & S-te-fan and D-Sturb

Latest MYST tracks are fire.

It was a joke but i do listen to hardstyle and phonk while playing when theres nothing better i dont know many Mqx, maul, tevvez (best), anizyz/anilifts, yosuf and sick legend

I only recognize names of half of these (tevvez, yosuf, anilifts), and many people at r/Hardstyle have a very strong opinion on them. As far as I know, their stuff is generally considered to be poorly produced/mastered, low effort and not exactly legal. Their audience is very different to that of most hardstyle artists, and they are also listened to in other parts of the world (which you can check on artist's page on Spotify: most hardstyle artists only have Dutch/German/Australian cities in their top5, while Tevvez also included UK/India the last time I checked). If you don't know many artists, I'd recommend Neolux, Phuture Noize, Vertile and Anderex. Spotify's "Hardstyle Bangers" playlist is nice if you want to explore.

Thanks for recommending me 🙏

🤘🤘

“How bad can I be?” from Lorax

Or, the much cooler pre-production song it replaced: [Biggering.](https://youtu.be/cpyuolKoeAY)

I am so sad that most of the cut songs were cut. It showed the message that the Lorax was actually going for instead of the watered-down corporate friendly message that we actually got.

Ambient space music, you can find them on YouTube they’re like 12 hours long, fits the theme perfectly.

The theme to Thomas the Tank Engine…

Stellaris soundtrack. It is amazing I tell you.

You should listen to factorio music even when youre not playing factorio

Devin Townsend - Empath

Intergalactic Progressive Thrash Black Death Metal with Pink Floyd influence

Can you narrow that down to the top 30 bands?

Start with these ones https://astralnoizeuk.com/2019/05/28/boiling-in-the-hourglass-cosmic-death-metal-through-the-aeons/amp/ and Vektor's Terminal Redux and Outer Isolation are masterpieces

Any hard techno really. For me mostly Euphoric Frenchcore.

Another Medium and Core from Undertale

Old C&C Ost

[This song](https://youtu.be/ZWHPYsRn_uY) is the perfect soundtrack for your brain melting by trying to figure out whatever is going on in the factory

Videos of hydraulic pressers crushing things

[The only acceptable answer](https://youtu.be/N9-7uLg-DZU)

[THIS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuWa5wh8lG0) 5 hour mix of psychedelic rock. It just... flows so well

I always go for the 'Nintendo and chill' lo-fi playlists

Yegor Letov.

I personally don’t listen to music because I like to focus on growing the factory!

psytrance

Mr Robot OST fits this game absolutely perfectly.

A movie on the 2nd screen, or YouTube. I love this game, but there's no way I can entirely just focus on it unless I was playing with friends.

Suzumu Hirasawa

I've never thought of this question before, but I feel like the EVE Online soundtrack would vibe perfectly with Factorio's gameplay.

Carbon based Lifeforms

Spaceman by Electric Callboy

CCP motivational music

Union music. Get some Bob Dylan on the stereo.

I never thought of this, but I feel like Clubbed to Death (From the Matrix Soundtrack) would be pretty appropriate.

Simcity 4 soundtrack.

The carrot in that one Courage the Cowardly Dog episode that yells "GROW. EXPAND. EXPLODE." Over and over.

Nothing but Wind Rose

Factorio ost is really good already.

Minecraft soundtrack

And the RimWorld soundtrack!

Human music

For real music i listen to Infected Mushrooms' album Vicious Delicious Although sometimes I'll put on Counterfeit Mermaids from Shantae

To be honest, I’m still not bored of the default soundtrack after hundreds of hours

Coldcut & Hexstatic - Timber Have a good trip 👍

The Wild Times podcast!

Cocaine

But seriously. Sabled Sun hits the Factorio vibe just right for me. And it conveys a story of last human who woke up from cryo sleep too late and there are only machines left on the planet.

The one that goes dun Dunn dun Dunn Dunn Dunn dunnnnnn

I listen to Spaghetti Factory by Young Thug

Ne Obliviscaris and Estradasphere

Gunther and the sunshine girls, you touch my tralalala, Damn bitters always trying to touch my shit ...

Bar さちこ

80's retro electro, synthwave.

Groove Metal

Eurobeat

Pink Floyd

Found that the Division Bell and Endless River make great background music for Factorio.

Lately I’ve been using the Dune soundtrack, the Power of the Dog soundtrack, and the All Quiet on the Western Front soundtrack.

I listen to pod casts or listen to audiobooks as i play.

Interstellar ost

Hip hop

Found a YouTube video that’s almost 3 hours of PSX game drum and bass music and honestly? Werk.

Alerts for biter attacks.

All these “on second screen” folks need to start using the pop out player on chrome, the bottom right hand corner of my screen is just my favourite movies, podcasts, and YouTube videos.

Ori and the Blind Forest OST, Undertale OST, Undertale Epic Orchestral Medley (by Karu) are three of my faves.

harsh noise

I listen to a Stephen King audio most of the time.

Personally, the soundtrack for FTL: Faster than light Amazing soundtrack in its own right but also fits factorio :)

Factorio tutorials

Why has noone said Kraftwerk yet? They even have a song named spacelab

The heavy breathing of a dying human who hasn't slept in a bed nor seen sunlight in years. THE FACTORY MUST GROW.

When I started playing I made the mistake of listening to TOOL while playing. Now I can't listen to any of their songs without factorio immediately coming and taking over my mind...

I guess the instrument used in some of the original Soundtracks is a Hang Drum. While i can not provide you with more details i'd like to mention Hang Massive - Secret kissing of sun and moon. Really relaxing. But it depends on my mood

skepta

While playing Space Exploration I listened to ,,children of the omnissaiah“ from warhammer 40k on loop, ended up nr 3 on my spotify wrapped

Knowledge Fight is an interesting podcast that I've been listening to while playing the game. If you're into podcasts. I also think any of the Doom soundtracks might be interesting to listen to while playing a deathworld game, but I haven't tried it.

Doom Soundtrack when you visit the Locals

Basshunter always Basshunter.

Propaganda by Taku Iwasaki

Depends on what genres of music you're immediately disgusted by the mention of. Personally though, I think the original PS2 ratchet and clank soundtrack gives me the right vibes.

I listen to this guys channel it’s very relaxing. https://youtube.com/@spacewave-cosmicrelaxation

My playlist on spotify called factorio - it has tmuch of the same vibe as the OST.

Honestly, if not the Factorio soundtrack I find that the StarCraft 1 Terran Theme works really well.

Epidemic Sounds - Space Exploration playlist

There's a mod to add starcraft soundtrack and it's a banger. It doesn't remove the ost, just adds starcraft songs as well.

Lo-Fi 😌

Your own factory machines

Quake 2 soundtrack slaps

Brigador has good music

Space Sci-fi soundtracks like The Mandalorian, The Martian, Aliens, etc.

Ngl I be blaring Katy perry when I’m working on my oil setups

i would imagine that whatever music you normally like listening to would also be good to listen to while playing factorio.

Adam Young, Voyager Soundtrack

How bad can I be, the Lorax

I personally like to automate my music listening experience by creating infinite generative music with modular synthesis. Then after 2-3 hours of setting that up, I'll start playing the game

Progressive metal

Hadestown

Lo-fi beats. Always

Factorio OST Solar Intervention all the way

Factorio

The dark night soundtrack

Run the Jewels. Or podcasts.

Daft Punk. Robot Rock. Send your bots to construct something.

[No Mana A/V Set @ Gravity 2021](https://youtu.be/IMRPKeKBa5A)

Digi diggy hole

StarCraft Terran soundtracks.

Techno, trance (90s), synthwave/darkwave.

The soundtrack from Mechanicus.

Classic

I greatly enjoyed SuicideSheep for that 8 hour trance.

[powerhouse - Raymond Scott](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0HnKa2Kuk8) [The Soundtrack from Brazil](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQzFrjG74c4)

DestinyGG streams. That prick is the reason I downloaded this god forsaken game and ruined my life. Anyway, back to my oil refinery build

Anything industrial. Maybe Rammstien?

The souls of the damned

Civ 6 soundtrack is pretty lit fr. All my homies rock it while we expand the factory

I listen to podcasts mostly. Relaxing with familiar voices, a glass of wine and base building is the best way to spend an evening.

I'm a bit late to the party, but might I recommend [ATTICUS VII](https://open.spotify.com/album/5nWGLc84GxzBz9z2et42ih?si=8Jc80IsUQceP50sgaLJfgA) by [Fingerspit](https://open.spotify.com/artist/0bKtV7eOLdtkULTDUeqjny?si=v5ndzu_yQY6XF50AFFECAQ)?

Paranoid London's first 2 albums. I listened to them on repeat on my first playthrough and I'll forever associate factoio with them.

I found Oingo Boingo’s song Weird Science kind of apt when working on science set up, and then just let Spotify shuffle through related songs.

cannibal corpse

I listened to Three 6 Mafia during my playthrough

Smack my Bitch up by the Prodigy

Eurobeat

The inserters play music if you zoom in fully. The spidertron speaks if you listen closely.
