The Factory Must Grow (A Factorio Fan Song)

I woke up on Nauvis the ground hard and cold No time for reflection no stories to be told The miners are clanking the drills start to hum But my base is a mess yeah here comes the fun Belts are a nightmare spaghetti galore Copper is choking and irons a war Turrets run dry while the bugs overthrow but there's no giving up The factory must grow The factory must grow No matter the cost Through chokepoints and chaos Through resources lost The power might fail But my resolve will show For there's only one mantra The factory must grow The steam pipes are leaking the boilers ran dry my soul is pathetic And my patience goodbye my trains keep derailing They're mowing me down But the bugs love the mess so they've taken half my town The oils running low the refineries stuck no plastic for circuits Well isn't that just my luck I slap down blueprints Pray the bots get it right But its chaos all day and the rebuild all night The factory must grow No matter the cost Through chokepoints and chaos Through resources lost The power might fail But my turrets burn slow But there's only one mantra The factory must grow Then I launched to the stars my first rocket a win Said goodbye to Nauvis let the next grind begin Gleba looked greener what fool I must be For I landed with nothing not even some trees Forgot the inserters, forgot half the plan My blueprints are broken but I'm still the man The bugs here are smarter they attack in a flow but I'm ready to fight The factory must grow The factory must grow No matter the cost Through chokepoints and chaos Through resources lost The power grid failing My reactors wont glow But there's only one mantra The factory must grow The belts twist and tangle the ratios are wrong My neighbors are bugs and they're humming a song They march with intent, they break through my gate But I just built lasers oops too little too late Uranium's plenty but I need centrifuges The rockets are waiting but my iron bar refuses I'm stranded again but this much I know, through ever disaster The factory must grow The factory must grow No matter the cost Through planets and bugs Through resources lost I'll pave the whole galaxy Let everyone know That nothing can stop it The factory must grow So here's to the madness the endless repairs To gears and green circuits pollution filled air Through Nauvis through Gleba through friend and through foe There's no turning back now The factory must grow The factory must grow The factory must grow
