Friday Facts #373 - Factorio: Space Age

  Definitely a day 1 purchase for me as well, no other game has the same amount of love and polish as Factorio does, both when it comes to the vanilla game and mods, and I know they will deliver a good experience with the DLC as well.

  However, I am worried if it's gonna be enough to stand out among other games in the genre. It has been many years since Factorio last got a substantial content update (maybe too many) and in the meantime we've got a lot of similarly-genred games like DSP or Satisfactory that have raised the bar in areas that Factorio lacked. I hope F:SA has enough meat on its bones to substantially change the core game rather than just more of what we've already played.

  I really appreciate that Earendel also got to voice some lines here. The crossover with the mod is undeniable and him being involved with the company now could have been handled differently elsewhere.

    WUBE is probably the only company left that I’d pre-order a game from

      Man, I remember when most players felt the same way about Blizzard. Sad memories

    I just can’t right now.

    Stanfield comes out in a couple of weeks, and I got friends begging me to try AC, and Baulders Gate is a time sink

    I’m gonna do it anyway, The factory must grow

  awesome news !

  as expected this will be an “easier” version of space exploration, but that’s not a bad thing, specially for people like me that couldn’t finish space exploration, pretty cool to see that Earendel is on the team as well.

    Agreed, definitely excited to see what the revised tech tree does to the initial stage of a playthrough as well. This seems like a great way to make the game feel fresh and change up a player’s approach.

  While painful, it makes sense to push cliff explosives into later game. Cliffs are completely irrelevant in the current game, as you get the tech to blow them up so soon that they don’t manage to affect your base layout.

    Me, who plays with cliffs turned off: Oh yea, that'll totally suck.
