Description

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.

Space platforms

The backbone of planetary logistics and the first foray into space. Space platforms are flying factories that act as the means of transportation between planets.

  • Build defenses to shoot down incoming asteroids which threaten to smash your platform.

  • Catch asteroid chunks, crush them and process them into thruster fuel and turret ammunition.

  • Use the Platform hub and Cargo bays to shuttle cargo between planets.

Vulcanus

Blazing volcanic mountains, imposing geological landforms, plains blanketed in ash, and thick yellow sulfuric fog that burns your lungs and etches your eyes.

  • Extract and refine tough unbreakable Tungsten to craft big mining drills and foundries.

  • Pull lava from the pits to produce an abundance of molten iron and copper.

  • Research advanced metallurgic technologies to build an industrial forge-world.

Fulgora

A lifeless and desolate place. The thin air is freezing cold but bone dry. A distant sun twinkles in the dull purple of the sky. Wispy clouds race by as a gale whips up sand that grates against your armour.

  • Protect yourself from the nightly lightning storms, harness their unrelenting power for your own electricity needs.

  • Reclaim the high-tech scraps and ruins of a long-forgotten civilization and recycle them into usable products.

  • Unlock the advanced electromagnetic and superconducting powers of Holmium.

Gleba

A vibrant multi-coloured swampy landscape shrouded in a light mist. The air is thick and humid, carrying the muffled cries of unseen animals from far away.

  • Discover exotic plants, cultivate and harvest their fruits with Agriculture towers.

  • Cook, crush, and process your produce before they rot and turn to spoilage.

  • Venture into a new realm of biochemical engineering.

Aquilo

It's day, but stars still twinkle in the dark sky. You count the planet's sun among the stars, larger and brighter than the others, but still so distant you can barely feel its warmth at all. A howling wind chills you to the bone and gently rocks the iceberg you are sitting on.

  • Build heat pipes to keep your machines operational in the freezing cold.

  • Extend your factory by building ice platforms.

  • Unlock the power of cryogenic technologies and fusion power.

Elevated rails

Take your trains to the next level! Elevated rails bring a whole new dimension of challenge and possibility to your rail networks.

  • Heavy-duty rail ramps and supports to elevate your rails.

  • Cross over any obstacles, build supports on the water to cross oceans.

  • Design advanced multi-level intersections to optimize your train system.

Quality

Make high tiers of quality of all your items, machines and equipment.

  • Every Item, Entity, and Equipment has 5 possible qualities, from Normal to Legendary!

  • Research the new Quality modules, use them to craft higher quality items and intermediates.

  • Each level of quality gives a greater bonus, machines craft faster, equipment is more powerful, turrets have increased range, etc.

New enemies and defenses

Some new planets are inhabited by unique and dangerous creatures you will need to defend against.

Space Age Music

Each new planet is accompanied by a unique soundtrack by Czech composer Petr Wajsar.

  • 1+ hour of music for each of the new Planets + Space.

  • Professionally recorded orchestral performance.

Factorio's Space Age expansion is intended for the hardcore playerbase - the ones who sink hundreds of hours into building a sprawling megabase with thousands of SPM. For more casual players, and for newcomers who may

On light of the changes that will be coming to 2.1, as stated on FFF#442 , I'm changing my review to negative . TL;DR : Players do not like getting "fun-policed". On this Factorio Friday Facts, they announced targeted

I've only ever had two problems with space age. First - When the DLC first came out, selecting between qualities took two clicks as it was accessed via a dropdown menu. The day immediately following my discovery of this

Literally the greatest DLC for any game I have played. Doubled the amount of content (100+ hours of content easily). Completely changes how the game is played and feels like a separate game entirely. 1000% recommend

I had no idea what Factorio could become after Vanilla. Now i do. Space Age is really the worth every penny spent. My only advice is to have completed vanilla a couple of times or Death World.

Wube made a lot of poor decisions to force the player into a specific play style that just didn't work for me. Progression - so much of the expansion is "unlock this one cool technology and then trework everything you
