What does this do ?
Alone, nothing ! This is like a music album, but you need the music player first : https://mods.factorio.com/mod/PI-house-made-music
Then it adds the music as game music and / or as instrument for the speakers !
Why ?
This way you can select your favourite "album" for each game, and when i publish a new song or a new album or try to make the music player better, you don't have to redownload everything.
No why this album ?
You should download it if you want to add some crazyness to your game, or use a few speaker to make a party place, or a jukebox to spook the afk's.
But that's not really an album, considering the creative thought process, more like a collection of song made over time, the theme for this one is "lyrics" and it's mostly around Factorio ! About the FFF about being an engineer or having a factory or facing a bug and needing to chill a bit, even going to space or lacking iron, or copper , the life in Gleba, meeting the biters !
See for yourself :
Are you singing in all the songs ?
Yes absolutely, it's also me on the picture, i have around 50 different voices, i can adapt to the genre beyond just male and female, i can do disco, or soul, or funk , techno , even child or robot voices, and dogs, i like barkling a lot,, i also do the noise of the public in the back, in several recordings and the whistling and the humming !
Really ?
No, unfortunatly, it was sarcam, i have no singing talent, i use AIs.

1-Funky-Lad-Engineer ( 4 min : 16 sec ) [Fulgora]
Genre : Electro-Funk/Electro-Rock
Inspiration : Bodyrockers-I Like the Way, Naive New Beaters-Live Good , Mark Ronson Uptown Funk
Comment : Wannabe fun song about doing things with computer as an engineer and being happy. Attempt at making it sound like an alarm clock reminding you to sing "Funky Lad Engineer -Make Things with computeer" when it's time for fun as it made me happy to do so on inspiration songs.
Lyrics sung by Suno, track structure re-arranged with a bit of stem separation to extend it and keep my favourite parts. -
2-Gleba-(edit1) ( 3 min : 54 sec ) [Gleba]
Genre : Dance
Inspiration : Cascada, Crazy Frog / 2006 club music in Germany/France
Comment : Song about the planet Gleba made when it was revealed in a FFF, based on wild speculations read on the forum, and the will to follow along about its past and future as the engineer is the alien there.
Lyrics sung by Suno, track reconstructed from different song with stem separation and addition of instrumental parts and glitchy parts. -
3-Peace-Bro-extended ( 5 min : 47 sec ) [Fulgora]
Genre : Big Room Electro/ Progressive-house
Inspiration : Martin Garrix , Mylo-drop the pressure
Comment : Party song about joy and peace, extended version /medley of a song for the DJROBOT mod and a more progressive part to allow for less abrupt transition an the ending. Composed of loops following each others, more meant for remix than straight listen. -
4-Factorio-Friday-Fact-Fever ( 3 min : 42 sec ) [Nauvis]
Genre : Folktronica
Inspiration : Macklemore , the song "Fever" and all the covers that mixes in my head.
Comment : Joyful song with lyrics about the thrill of the FFF coming every week, attempt to mimick a genre and a style that had great popular/commercial success to make a catchy song, "for everyone" which is a reference to the C&C games, apart from the lyrics it's 90% Suno , lucky result in few attempts. -
5-Tiny-Problems-in-the-Factory ( 3 min : 14 sec ) [Gleba]
Genre : Folktronica / Alternative hip-hop
Inspiration : M.I.A.-Paper planes (Slumdog Millionaire), fixing things in the factory for the lyrics.
Comment : Light song about the virtue or perseverance in overcoming problems, and not giving up to build your dream. I wrote the lyrics and gave them to different AIs for them to sing searching for something that would fit the mood until i heard something that reminded me of a song i liked it when it was released. This took quite some attempts but few finishing touches. -
6-Im-not-bitter ( 3 min : 53 sec ) [Nauvis]
Genre : Big-Room-Electro
Inspiration : Shrek OST/vibes + 2020's electro. Biters pets, Biter power and all the cute biters out there.
Comment : When you look at all the possible new ennemy you could make on the mod portal, and decide to try catch them all turning a little mad in the process you start talking to them as if they were just angry cat you want to calm down because it's just a tranquilizer and they need to take it already. You can hear i pieced the sequences myself here and there, it packs a lot more punch like that i found, and when you play it on the speakers in game it sound like a battle cry +20% combat efficency -80% focus for building the factory. -
7-Bug-Rage-Night ( 3 min : 12 sec ) [Gleba]
Genre : Indie-pop
Inspiration : Milky Chance - Stolen dance, the idiom :"the voice of reason" , "reason" being a feminine word in french.
Comment : Something is off in the factory, a little bug, and it makes me mad, like real mad, sort of impossible to control rage. And sometimes it feels like i need to relieve the pressure. To hear the voice of reason. She is a bit melancholic to sum up such tantrum behavior that she find desmaying or appaling not sure the exact word. But it's still full of affection when she tells me to calm down and try to laugh for a while. It works for me, maybe for you too ? A friend told me a few tricks for doing the mastering on voices, and i wanted to try them on a song i wrote for AI to sing, not all the words are fully sang, but i thought it was funny because the song is about a bug, so i added a glitchy intro. The bug is also the behavior, that is not reasonnable too. up to you to interpret :) -
8-shreksophone-remix ( 6 min : 03 sec ) [Aquilo]
Genre : It's complicated
Inspiration : https://mods.factorio.com/mod/shreksophone and https://mods.factorio.com/mod/shrek
Comment : I'm a curious person, looking at things just because they look weird sometimes, like this mod that intringued me, plus I like Shrek, and feel like Shrek in a swamp casually minding my dirty things when playing factorio, and sometimes people join my game and it's an adventure. Which is only fair, as the other time for sure people can easily picture me as the donkey. After listening to the song, thinking it was too short, I tried to make an extended version using AIs. Then learned it was a meme song that buzzed and there was 100 hour version on youtube, but on Factorio thanks to this mod, you can make a robot that play the song in repeat for much longer with just a speaker and a wire. I'm not saying you should, but you may be tempted after hearing the song or the remix., i did, then built it in a factorissimo building and called it Shrek's Party Hut, someone even said "WTF", so be warned, not everyone's prepared for this one, please use carefully. -
9-Great-Master-Engineer( 1 min : 46 sec ) [Gleba]
Genre : reggae / reggae-AI / reggae-high
Inspiration : L'Entourloop , my life where i did some stuff in the fields of reggae music , nothing at all from other real-life events (no links between politics and music was used as inspiration), Soul Majestic
Comment : This is a sarcastic, hopefully funny song. There are so many different flavour of reggae, for those who have no idea some have very serious political or religious texts, it would probably be seen as a big offense to make "AI" reggae. But there are also cunning reggaeman who understand the codes of the modern musical industry and disguise their lyrics either through metaphor or sarcasm or double meanings so that it doesn't sound political. That resonate with some french litterature written under royal censorship. Then i thought of making a song with lyrics that "sound like they were made by an AI", but picking carefully only those that are either ridiculous, empty of meaning when considered properly, or having a double one. To make it sound like a poor robot was tasked to "make a song for my large crowd of robots to sing my glory", and decided to troll a bit the engineer who requested. Was reading about Chostakovitch's life at the time, that helped shape the idea for the lyrics too. So yes it sounds like bullshit, in case you are wondering, it actually is, full of it, absolutly full of it. I think it's called self-deprecation, or second degree i'm not sure a mix of both. It's when you do not take yourself too seriously, it's not too long hopefully, just enough to make you laugh, like someone with a loud music that enter a public place an tune it down, but you still heard which song was playing. -
10-Iron-Complaint ( 3 min : 04 sec ) [Nauvis]
Genre : Voice play / Experimental / abstract hip hop
Inspiration : Compilation of songs for Childrens
Comment : This is a sarcastic song, hopefully funny too. I tried to find the saddest voice i could get with an AI, or grumpiest sounding possible. To talk about the broken dream of growing the factory due to an all too comon iron shortage. And that robot would keep playing a broken record to try and feel better about it and getting over it as the song passes. With the lyrics, but the voice stays pathetic. Situation so bad even the instruments can't play at first and they have to make noise with surrounding items or hands. But this is also supposed to sound better over the course of the song, sorry if it's not the case :/ This song is for when mistake are done, i don't know for everyone, but me sometimes i have this inner voice saying "what an idiot" about me with a voice that could be the grumpy one. "oh the chests are empty, because this splitter was facing the wrong way". , "oh there was a rail missing for the last 3 hours and now there's a big traffic jam" . nieyeeyeheyeehe. This one is about iron shortage. You can start playing the song, and destroy the speaker. It's doesn't solve the iron shortage, but it's easy enough to do, like a snooze on an alarm clock, in case the song play 3 or 4 time in a row because you are busy solving other shortages, you may be tempted :) -
11-Don't-Touch-My-Spaggethi ( 3 min : 02 sec ) [Nauvis]
Genre : Experimental / Electro-funk
Inspiration : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wnEuOJg_dA , Harder Better Faster Stronger-Daft Punk, Oh you touch my tralalala-Gunther
Comment :This is an energetic song with lyrics about someone a little defensive about its spaggethi base. Inspired by the laser dance song from "La caution" as seen in the movie Ocean's twelve, the confidence with which you fit everything in little space i found had similarities with playing factorio sometimes. I brought this song with me to publish it from Space Age LAN party, i thought it was quite the stunt but i later realized the mastering needed improvement and i took forever to update the mod to 2.0., even forget to write the description, now when i hear it i think about Prague. It is quite fitting to the mood of multiplayer game and LAN party in general when not everyone has the same opinion on how to build things. It can be played from programmable speaker near the spawn similar to how you would use a warning sign about guard dogs to let people know not to mess with your belting masterpiece. I also call my cat spaggethi sometimes too, and it's too late if someone just "touch my spagetthi" , the offense has been commited, this is like prevention, again a warning BEFORE. But it's not too serious, that's why the laugh at the end, i hope you find it funny too ! -
12-Nauvis-Inter-Stellar-Company (Ho!) ( 6 min : 10 sec ) [Nauvis]
Genre : Techno/Dance
Inspiration : Meme & Techno from the 2005's , Miss Monique
Comment : This is a party song, with loud beats and heavy drop with an attempt at mimicking the positive and uplifting vibes from the songs i discover through mixes from Miss Monique. I imagined a superstar DJ travelling to the different planets to play the best music also needs to be open to music from the different planets , and it select the best and deliver like a condensate to begin with, changing fast to try out the audience, before settling for a mood that would carry everyone for a long party, that should go on, or is the show ? the factory must grow :) You can hear the departure to space where the party keep going, it doesn't want to stop, even as some of the instruments starts to detune and leave the party, only the voice of reason can really bring some closure to this party. The one that knows partying is what runs the company and call for the end of the set. To prepare for the next one. -
13-Sorry-for-the-lyrics ( 7 min : 58 sec ) [Nauvis]
Genre : Techno / House
Inspiration : That one person who didn't like the part that says "sorry for the lyrics" in previous song so i tried to make a better song about it. "Sound System Rocking, Sound system Rocking". Heard from MiMo's mixes. The shape people's mouth takes when saying "teeee teee teeee teee" which look like a smile. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkTt9k4Y-a8
Comment : This is a party song, with loud beats and heavy drop, where you can sing "teee dee dee dee" very fast, which is kinda like dancing but for the face only. It is designed to make the zygomatic muscle stronger but you can also work the eyebrow raise move when it's the "tooo doo dooo dooo" part, the mouth should be a duckface, or a trollface for maximum immersion. At this point Nauvis is the party planet, where you rest after the trouble on the others. It start as if the robot was apologizing for the lyrics, but then plot twist, it's not the robot who made the lyrics ! It's me, it's why it keep singing about MiMo, watching some tutorial on how to get passed an obsession for a celeb on youtube didn't really worked out so i'm coping with it singing teee deeee deee teee deee deee. Yeah sorry for the lyrics, it's more about the vibes for this one. I hope it makes you smile. -
14-My-Big-Spaceship ( 4 min : 38 sec ) [Space]
Genre : Techno / House
Inspiration : Having a big spaceship in space exploration ! Macklemore thrift shop 's confidence. The sound of the smoke machine in MiMo's mix
Comment :
The first part of the comment is always a short description of the song, but here instead it's a very low quality video. I posted this song on the Forum but video isn't much better. The song was made using Suno ( this is an AI ), but i'm responsible for the lyrics , the mood , the clip , the irony hopefully noticeable and some details on the music like the smoke sound when the button is pressed :) If you try to make a spaceship that plays this song, you can time any noise for when it says "press the red button", like unthrottinling the thrusters, or turning on some lights or any alarm, just for the unsuspecting traveller to say "wtf" in the chat after they tried to fly the "Big Beautiful SpaceShip" x).

15-Gleba-Masta-1 ( 5 min : 10 sec ) [Gleba]
Genre : Voiceplay/whistle-Rap-Electro
Inspiration : All the people that keep complaining about Gleba while i had some hash-induced feeling of hubris. The King Julian in Madagascar ( i like to move it move it )
The joyful naive youthness in the song cudder is back by kid cudi
Comment : This is an energetic song that start slow and end in a prolonged hypnotic instrumental. The singing part was done by Suno, extended and reworked by your usual bard, (me), who tried my best to remove the noise or "upscale" the quality, or hide it or cut it with other parts to avoid it becoming too present, hopefully, i tried to use chatgpt for the lyrics but most of it isn't, i find it funnier when suno AI sing with my words, possibly my pronunciation errors too, made it say "oh oui :" as in french instead of oh yeah, and added reference to Gleba's cuisine and "easy-cheesy" because (french)cheese is addictive and the hash-induced hubris feeling is often followed by hunger, i can't resist melted cheese, that's what everyone's eating at the end instead of singing.
