    All the care, love, attention given to the soundtracks is always been perplexing to me. The first thing I do when I get into a game is mute the soundtrack.

      The right music can totally enhance the gameplay experience as it helps set the tone and expectations.

      Do you prefer your own music choices, or do you not want music at all?

        Same for me, mute it almost instantly (sometimed all sound). Usually listening to my own music, or podcast, or video on second monitor, or just sit in silence.

        Having said that, I will probably buy the soundtrack and listen to it. But that doesn’t have to be while playing factorio.

        I normally mute the Factorio soundtrack and replace it with my music. The music is good but ambient and repetitive when I’m sinking dozens of hours into a save.

        With a shorter game I’ll keep the music playing, especially when it’s a bit more dynamic to what’s happening.

        There will come a time when the music is turned down, so I can listen to other things in the background, but currently the music is captivating and amazing!
