# FUE5BASE/FUE5

FUE5 is a fan-made project with the goal to see what would Factorio look like and behave in 3D. This project has no affiliation with the official Factorio game.

## What it is
FUE5 is a fan-made Unreal Engine 5 project that recreates Factorio bases in 3D, letting players import their in-game factories via a companion exporter mod and explore them in first person. It has no gameplay; it is a visualization sandbox with recreations of Factorio's belt, rail, and logistic systems built in UE5 blueprints.

## Use cases
- view my Factorio base in 3D
- import a Factorio save into Unreal Engine 5
- explore a factory in first person
- render cinematic shots of a Factorio base
- study 3D recreations of Factorio belt and train systems
- play with Factorio-style assets in UE5

## When to choose
- you want to see your own Factorio factory rendered in 3D
- you use Unreal Engine 5.1 and want to tinker with Factorio-style blueprints
- you want to create videos or screenshots of a 3D Factorio base

## When to avoid
- you want actual Factorio gameplay or production simulation
- you don't have a machine capable of running Unreal Engine 5
- you need a standalone game rather than an UE5 project you open yourself
- you need a permissively licensed codebase (license is non-standard)
