Factorio – Programming the Game of Life

factorio

At 2:00 in the official trailer, the narrator explains that you can "even program the game of life, if you like".

What does this mean ?

Is he referring to a game feature ?

Best Answer

He is referring to Conway's Game of Life.

The Game of Life is interesting because it is both simple and Turing complete, so it is a good indicator of Factorio's level of flexibility (on par with that of Minecraft's redstone circuitry, for example).
