GPT-5.6 Sol clears Factorio peaceful mode in 13.5 hours of game time
What happened
Ryan Madden tested GPT-5.6 Sol on Hacker News on November 1: running in Codex at a low thinking level, the model finished Factorio's peaceful mode, with no biters, in 13.5 hours of game time. It played through a Python library while obeying the same limits as a GUI player, including reach distance and fog of war. Sol did better than GPT-5.5, which never used belts, but its late-game production lines failed to connect and slowed progress. It launched the rocket by hauling materials back and forth.

Ryan Madden 实测让 GPT-5.6 Sol 在 Codex 中以低思考级别运行，用 13.5 小时游戏时间通关无虫族敌人的 Factorio 和平模式。模型通过 Python 库操作游戏，并遵守玩家操作距离、战争迷雾等与 GUI 玩家相同的限制。相比 GPT-5.5 不使用传送带的问题，本次表现有所改善，但后期生产系统衔接失败拖慢了进度，Sol 最终依靠反复搬运物资完成火箭发射。
