Gangsir

Rank: Administrator, Trusted User

Hello there, I'm Gangsir. I'm a software development student in real life, and a Factorio player. I like to contribute to documentation on games that I play, so that others can learn and understand the game. Most of what I do on this wiki is helping new users, and general clean up.
