The ''campaign'' gamemode is Factorio's equivalent of a story mode. Campaigns are pre-generated levels where the [[player]] must accomplish some preset task, such as scanning the surroundings, [[research]]ing a certain technology, or providing a certain amount of resources into a chest. Upon completion, a game finish report is given, similar to freeplay, where kills and completion time are tallied. Completing the campaigns is not necessary to play freeplay.
