    User reports GPT-6 Astra played Factorio on its own for 15 minutes

    The user says Astra worked around a keyboard problem by creating a plugin, then gathered fuel and built a mining drill and furnace.

    TLDR

    A user says they asked GPT-6 Astra to start a fresh Factorio game and figure it out on its own. They report that it located iron ore on the map, built a mining drill and placed a furnace beside it to smelt the ore, then fetched coal to fuel the furnace. The session used “medium effort,” according to the user, who says Astra stopped and saved the game at the requested 15-minute limit.

    @DeryaTR_I just had GPT-6 Astra start playing Factorio, one of the most complex engineering and automation games ever made and my personal favorite game of all time! I told it to start a completely new game, figure everything out on its own, and just play. First it couldn't use the keyboard but figured out by creating a plugin for it and started playing. It then walked around and started cutting trees for fuel, found an iron ore deposit (from the map), built a mining drill, loaded it with tree fuel, and started mining. Then it built a stone furnace next to the miner to smelt the iron ore into plates, since ore is automatically transferred to the furnace if it is next to it, somehow it knew that! After that, it opened the map, found a coal deposit, traveled there, mined some coal, came back, and loaded the coal into the furnace! I had instructed it to play for only 15 minutes, so when the time was up, it stopped and saved the game right there. And this was only on medium effort! Now I’m going to see whether it can play for several hours continuously and keep building increasingly complex factories. It will probably consume quite a few of my tokens, but I absolutely have to see how far it can go! Watching AI finally play Factorio autonomously feels like witnessing AGI in action. It is really unbelievable and tremendously exhilarating! I think @tobi would appreciate this as a seasoned Factorio player. :) And for anyone unfamiliar with this amazing game, ask @Grok about it! It’s available on Steam but be warned: if you have even the slightest engineering inclination, it can be extremely addictive. 😂 Video is 3x fast version of part of the game slice after miner and furnace were built finding and mining the coal by hand. It is a bit slow as it figures out how to play!
