Can you promote in r/factorio?

Community-run subreddit for the game Factorio made by Wube Software.

The short answer

Engage as a regular community member first, keep posts clearly about Factorio, disclose your affiliation if relevant, ask moderators for permission before posting promotional content or merchandise.

What works here

  • Participate in discussions and help others
  • Share Factorio-related content and projects when clearly relevant
  • Post videos/streams at limited frequency (e.g., once per month)
  • Request mod approval before posting developer-related or commercial content

What gets posts removed

  • Posting frequent or blatant advertising/solicitations
  • Posting promotional material without context or community involvement
  • Advertising unofficial merch without prior permission
  • Posting developer/game-dev content without contacting moderators first
