There’s a new factorio game??

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As others have said, it's DLC. It might as well be a new game though because it changes so much. It also released with a free update that's pretty big too.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It's a dlc that adds 3 new planets to explore after you finish the game. It's quite fun if you like factorio.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 23 hours ago

I like factorio in the same way I like cocaine. The first time I played factorio (without any stimulants involved) I played for 72 hours without food, water, or sleep.

Holy fuck what a great game. Great for independently wealthy people with no family or responsibilities.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm assuming you've played it, but for others reading this: It's more than just bonus content, the base game has been reworked to integrate the planets into the progression.

A Space Age playthrough is different than a base game playthrough basically from the get go.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours ago

It's worth noting that the various QOL changes and changes to the base buildings like inserters are included in the 2.0 update and are free.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you enjoy it I highly recommend the space exploration mod. Its even better imo

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's different. They both have pros and cons.

The creator of Space Exploration was hired before they started the Space Age DLC, so a lot of lessons learned from it are implemented in Space Age.

There are tons of great overhaul mods to play though. I'd probably play something else before doing a Space Exploration run because they do share so many similarities it might be better to leave some space between playing them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

And also important is, that space exploration is insanely big. You can prepare to spend about 300h with it(of course depending on how much experience you have).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

Yeah this is why I've never tried it. When I was still on reddit the way people talked about space age turned me off. It seemed like a massive time sink that was more about upping the logistics to the nth degree than about new mechanics.

I really like space age so far because of how differently I've had to play on the first planet I landed on.

Idk man, don't you think your module factory on fulgora could use an upgrade? and your gleba base isn't very efficient.

Plus you've barely even touched quality. Have you tried out a legendary big mining drill yet?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Actually, Gleba is working pretty great. Why? How? Fuck, I don’t know. I think the gods of engineering smiled down on me. Or had pity.

It’s Aquilo I am concerned about. That base is in a constant state of failing but not actually breaking down. Like a sinking ship that doesn’t have the courtesy to finally submerge.

Also there is the shattered planet. Bragging rights are the most important rights after all.

What? But the factory must grow

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (12 children)

Space Age? Whaaaat?

Edit: Oof... The dlc is the same price as the base game. :/

I'd ask if it's worth it, but I can't trust the Cracktorio fiends to be objective.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago

Worth noting that Factorio never goes on sale. I assume the DLC will never go on sale as well.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

Factorio addict and I can't resist responding.

It's absolutely worth it in my opinion. They have reworked multiple major systems in the game for QOL improvements (but most of those changes do not require the DLC). The progression has been reworked to fit in with the completely overhauled late game that revolves around traveling to different planets and managing logistics between them. So you're not just getting bonus content.

I'm just dipping my toes into the new content but I think they did a phenomenal job of expanding on the base game without just adding another layer of complexity. I won't go into detail in case you hate spoilers, but when I got to my first planet it was a similar feeling to the first time I played Factorio. It brought back that feeling of winging it and having to work out the best way to solve problems, which I hadn't felt since my first couple playthroughs of the base game.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

don't know why nobody stated this but space age is basically five times larger than the base game. they've announced that even though the game is coming to switch, space age is not since it has much higher requirements.

it's not a dlc, it's a proper expansion.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

5 times larger than the base game

It's a proper expansion

That's above and beyond a proper expansion. That sounds legendary. 🤩

[–] [email protected] 4 points 17 hours ago

it's more than that Kola, it's large.

me and three friends have been spending on average 80 hours each on a space age game together since the expansion released, and we're currently in the process of getting the third planet (out of five) to produce evenly without getting stuck.

each planet has basically it's own tech tree, and you need to re-learn how to build a factory every time because the conditions are so different.

where we are now, the only resource is "scrap". building a factory here involves basically running the entire process to build something in reverse, disassembling broken machine parts to extract the components, sorting them, and reusing them in new things. we're completely swamped in blue circuits, batteries and low density structures, which isn't much help when you need pipes.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 17 hours ago

That sounds legendary.

Only if you reroll it through your quality-modded assembler enough times.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

The only reason I haven't bought it yet is because I will lose my job due to absence if I do.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

100% worth supporting devs of a game you've spent 1000+ hours on. Well worth the $30 USD. (Also, it's fun!)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Just checked, I have 80 hours played in the last 2 weeks.. Know where I can find a rehab?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago

Rehab is Stardew Valley, right? Stop automating and just plant your crops by hand each day.

I brought space age and I havent even gone to space yet. I havent even played with that part enabled, I've just been making a vanilla megabase with the new quality items and rails. They're insane it reminds me of bobs mods.

Bruh I literally forgot how to play this game, I already have Space Age, but I just don't have the time to play it that much :(

I was doing good a couple months back, had an awesome base, then it got absolutely fucked by a horde of spider crickets or whatever you call them.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Reminds me of an ancient Fark post that had a partially nekkid girl tied to a chair near a TV with Futurama on it. Caption said "Cool, Futurama is on!"
