GPT-5.6 Sol can beat Factorio on peaceful mode


Previously: We got Claude Code playing Factorio, Towards beating Factorio autonomously, and Faketorio: an agent testbed I got GPT-5.6 Sol, running in Codex with low thinking level, to complete a peaceful (i.e. no biters) Factorio run in 13.5 hours of game time: A timelapse of the full run is available on YouTube. Similar to my previous post, this run used a game manager to allow Sol/Codex to interact with the game via a small library (though in this run it was Python rather than Bash). The library allows the model to play the game programmatically while enforcing the same restrictions that human players face when using the GUI (e.g. reach of the player, fog of war).
