Pros
Pro Cooperative or PvP building
Factorio also supports multiplayer, allowing many players to cooperate and assist each other, or work against each other in PvP. By default, multiplayer games run the CO-OP freeplay scenario where all players work together to launch a rocket with a satellite into space.
Pro Incredibly well designed mechanics and crafting
The crafting, building, and combat mechanics are just amazing. The feeling of spending hours learning how to build your first factory, optimizing it, then setting out to build outpost factories while defending them from alien hordes is just amazing. This is not a game for the stupid. It requires planning, and of you really want to build amazing things then at least a rudimentary knowledge of programming is helpful to take full advantage of the circuit mechanics. Simply put its one of the best resource management and base building games of all time.
Cons
Con Can become rather repetitive
There's really little payoff for being able to build really long chains of automation, it usually results in being able to open a new tech tree which allows the player to continue the process of building automation chains ad infinitum, which, admittedly can become rather boring after a while.
