Hello, long time no see! Today we are going to talk about the expansion which is called Factorio: Space Age. Mp4 playback not supported on your device. (Click here for static image version) What is Factorio: Space Age?kovarex Factorio: Space Age continues the player's journey after launching rockets into space. Discover new worlds with unique challenges, exploit their novel resources for advanced technological gains, and manage your fleet of interplanetary space platforms. Vanilla Factorio ends by launching the rocket into space, so I always expected it to be quite obvious what we are going to do next. Honestly the space platform related gameplay was actually planned a very long time ago, and we had shown a little bit in FFF-74. ...

The guy who made the space exploration mod is the same one that worked on this expansion. Thought I would put that here, judging by the comments on steam lol.

    Same! Though, I am disappointed that we likely aren’t getting hills or diagonal walls lol. Regardless, looking forward to it.

    …Also (as a pet peeve), I can’t deal with space ships where the thrust vectors are wrong. Personally, I would like to see the engines as some sort of building you have to build in the centre of your platform so you could actually walk around if you needed too, but it looks like you’ll just be chilling in the white building thing, which would still be difficult to move around in because you’d constantly be ‘falling’ towards the engines. /reeeeeeeeeeeeeeant

    (the engine animations look really cool though)
