Factorio, the popular factory-automating game, is set to release its highly-anticipated Space Age expansion this October. This expansion has been in development for several years and promises to bring a wealth of new content to the game. Alongside the Space Age expansion, players can also expect a major 2.0 update that will introduce a host of new features and improvements.
The Space Age expansion will introduce five new planets for players to explore, each with its own unique resources and challenges. The volcanic planet Vulcanus will offer new metallurgic technologies, while Fulgora will provide players with the opportunity to harness electrical power from lightning storms. Gleba, a swampy planet, will be filled with fruit and biochemicals. Additionally, the expansion teases a fifth planet that promises unique gameplay experiences set in a dark and cold landscape.
In addition to new planets, the Space Age expansion will bring a host of gameplay enhancements to Factorio. Players can expect elevated train tracks for easier transportation, new enemies to defend against, and quality tiers for items, entities, and equipment. These quality tiers will offer various bonuses as players advance them through five levels, providing improvements such as better range or faster crafting.
The Space Age expansion will be priced at $35, the same as the base game, making it a fair deal considering the amount of content it promises to deliver. However, for those who find the price too steep, Factorio’s 2.0 update will be available for free to all players, introducing new features such as a new fluid system, remote view, and improvements to train controls and worker robot AI. Both the Space Age expansion and update 2.0 are scheduled to release on October 21st.
Factorio’s Space Age expansion is shaping up to be a game-changer for fans of the series. With new planets, resources, gameplay enhancements, and updates, players can look forward to hours of engaging and challenging gameplay. Whether you’re a veteran player or new to the game, the Space Age expansion promises to offer something for everyone. Get ready to embark on a new interstellar adventure in Factorio’s exciting Space Age expansion.
