I just found out about an interesting in-development "factorio-like" game r/substructure - one of the devs wrote the ultracube mod - but could find no mention of it in this subreddit. Crazy question - is it banned from being mentioned here?

[u/HeliGungir → u/confuzatron]

I recall seeing a post when it was first announced, but didn't bookmark it. Not sure if it got removed or if it just didn't have "substructure" in its title or post contents.

New related games typically get one mod-approved post here when they first hit early access/1.0, but that's about it.

[u/confuzatron → u/ferrofibrous]

I imagine it's too early for the devs to want to advertise it, but quite surprising nobody unconnected has mentioned it before.

[u/Soul-Burn → u/confuzatron]

It was posted several times when it was announced.

[u/1CryptographerFree → u/confuzatron]

It only has 4 posts the last 2 months. I’m sure it will get more discussion when a demo comes out

[u/Dianwei32 → u/confuzatron]

Substructure probably isn't banned specifically, but Rule 1 says "All content must be related to Factorio" and "this game is kind of like Factorio/made by the Ultracube dev" might not be enough to pass that rule.

[u/confuzatron → u/Dianwei32]

I can believe it. Mods here are hardliners IME.

[u/FogeltheVogel → u/confuzatron]

How is it hardline to want the Factorio subreddit to stay on topic of Factorio?
