You spent 62,500 days or 171.2 years playing factorio? Sounds like you’re close to ready for your first play through after you finish the tutorial!
Really glad someone did the math
average factorio player behavior
Yeah, because I was about to.
he's almost got his early factory running in bobangels!
The earliest date I can find on the wiki is for 03 May 2013, so we'll be optimistic even though that the kickstarter ended on March 2013.
The maximum hours you could play if the game was running 24/7 since then is: 92,184.
This is just a fun math fact.
You assume the game can only run 24/7. The secret is to automate playing factorio.
Introducing the Construction Robot MK.2! A second instance of Factorio and a collection of LUA scripts controlling another player!

Want more MK.2s? 20 instances lagging your computer? Borrow the computer lab overnight for enterprise-scale concurrent factory expanding service while you sleep! Lean into the fleet nature of multiplayer by connecting multiple labs with Clustorio!
The factory must grow
Still not enough? Try running factorio headless in the background of computers that people aren't really using! Pro tip: you can automate the installation process for maximum reach!
