Factorio is played from the top down perspective of your player character, who is always in the centre of your view. You have four primary ways of interacting with the world:

  1. Crafting items and entities personally from resources using your craft menu (Default: e)
  2. Placing entities by selecting them from your inventory or toolbar and placing them on a tile (Default: LMB)
    1. Opening contextual menus for entities like Assembly Machines or Chests
    2. Removing the entity from the world, returning it to your inventory (Default: Hold RMB)
  3. Harvesting resources from a tile (Default: Hold RMB)
  4. Firing weapons at enemies (Default: Press or hold Spacebar depending on weapon)

In the process of building and expanding your factory, different pieces of equipment will be necessary from the first minute onwards, starting with your first Iron axe:

The Iron axe is a tool used for the manual mining of resources, for cutting trees, and for collecting items deployed on the ground (so they can be placed elsewhere). They can also be used for melee fighting when the player is out of ammo.

They are mostly used in the beginning of the game where the player has no resources to set up drills to automatically mine, and when the better Steel axe cannot yet be made. It is possible to stack multiple Iron axes in the tool slot.

Durability

Durability of the Iron axe is consumed based on the "mining hardness" of what is being mined, at a rate of

Durability loss = Mining hardness × 60 × Duration (s)

For example, mining one coal that has a hardness of 0.9 and takes 2.08 seconds to mine consumes

Durability loss = 0.9 × 60 × 2.08 = 112.5 durability
