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.

do you already like factorio? do you want MORE factorio? then space age is a no-brainer; everything you know and love about regular factorio cranked up to 11. each planet is a fresh twist on the base game's core

The Space Age DLC takes just half the ideas the Space Exploration mod had, and still somehow bungles/undermines all of them. The only interesting addition is Gleba spoilage timers. Those are pretty neat. The research

Space Age is a bit less than Factorio 2, but is quite a bit more than a typical expansion pack. By the standards of practically any other game the amount of content you're getting is extremely generous, and the

I like it and I do not like it. The original Space mod is far better than Space Age. Wube rushed a project out of fear for Factorio will be irelevant due to large volume of automation games lunched in the last 3 years.

They tried to be creative, but it's just a more annoying version of the original game. The planet Gleba breaks automation, the foundational principle of the game, and forces too much micromanagement. Spaceships are just

This is a convoluted, obnoxious, ambiguous mess. It went from a semi-intuitive game, to giant mess. It gets overly complicated for no reason. It sucks all the fun out of what WAS an okayish game. This is hot garbage.
