Finished it just yesterday night…I think I should check on my girlfriend.
Finished? Factorio?
Same as winning the Internet
Completed it mate
How did you like the final cutscene?
I wept for days after they revealed that the true factory was the friends we made along the way (or something, i have never played factorio)
Which of the endings?
Idk man, don’t you think your module factory on fulgora could use an upgrade? and your gleba base isn’t very efficient.
Plus you’ve barely even touched quality. Have you tried out a legendary big mining drill yet?
Actually, Gleba is working pretty great. Why? How? Fuck, I don’t know. I think the gods of engineering smiled down on me. Or had pity.
It’s Aquilo I am concerned about. That base is in a constant state of failing but not actually breaking down. Like a sinking ship that doesn’t have the courtesy to finally submerge.
…
Also there is the shattered planet. Bragging rights are the most important rights after all.
Shattered planet? What?
A post “end” location on the star map. You can fly there and it’s the only way to gather promethium, a material you need to craft the post game super science. I don’t think the shattered planet is supposed to be reached. It’s insanely far away and the asteroids get bonkers. But that didn’t stop some maniacs to actually do it with a butt load of nukes.
Well I may be one of those maniacs. I’ve already shipped the materials to Vulcanus to make myself a couple hundred nukes, not for the worms. Nukes just piss the worms off, and don’t hurt them. The nukes were for the cliffs.
Try taking rail guns to deal with the worms. Apparently even the handheld one easily does enough damage to casually oneshot mediums. 10k base physical damage and the shot keeps going and hitting things until it reaches end of range.
ETA: if you shoot roughly in line with the worm, you’ll easily get multiple segments. Each one takes the full shot of damage before resistances are applied, so the worm takes a ton of damage in a single shot, even with its resistance.
I haven’t been to Gleba and Fulgora yet. I just took a tank with uranium explosive shells, and got Physical Weapon Damage to 16. The worms died at that point.
What? But the factory must grow
Hope she’s into orgasm denial.
Space Age? Whaaaat?
Edit: Oof… The dlc is the same price as the base game. :/
I’d ask if it’s worth it, but I can’t trust the Cracktorio fiends to be objective.
Factorio addict and I can’t resist responding.
It’s absolutely worth it in my opinion. They have reworked multiple major systems in the game for QOL improvements (but most of those changes do not require the DLC). The progression has been reworked to fit in with the completely overhauled late game that revolves around traveling to different planets and managing logistics between them. So you’re not just getting bonus content.
I’m just dipping my toes into the new content but I think they did a phenomenal job of expanding on the base game without just adding another layer of complexity. I won’t go into detail in case you hate spoilers, but when I got to my first planet it was a similar feeling to the first time I played Factorio. It brought back that feeling of winging it and having to work out the best way to solve problems, which I hadn’t felt since my first couple playthroughs of the base game.
100% worth supporting devs of a game you’ve spent 1000+ hours on. Well worth the $30 USD. (Also, it’s fun!)
The only reason I haven’t bought it yet is because I will lose my job due to absence if I do.
don’t know why nobody stated this but space age is basically five times larger than the base game. they’ve announced that even though the game is coming to switch, space age is not since it has much higher requirements.
it’s not a dlc, it’s a proper expansion.
5 times larger than the base game
It’s a proper expansion
That’s above and beyond a proper expansion. That sounds legendary. 🤩
it’s more than that Kola, it’s large.
me and three friends have been spending on average 80 hours each on a space age game together since the expansion released, and we’re currently in the process of getting the third planet (out of five) to produce evenly without getting stuck.
each planet has basically it’s own tech tree, and you need to re-learn how to build a factory every time because the conditions are so different.
where we are now, the only resource is “scrap”. building a factory here involves basically running the entire process to build something in reverse, disassembling broken machine parts to extract the components, sorting them, and reusing them in new things. we’re completely swamped in blue circuits, batteries and low density structures, which isn’t much help when you need pipes.
Well it boils down to: do you like this game?
Got a small number of hours in it, 3,200 as I forgot how much the base game was, as I bought it years ago, let’s assume £30. It gives me about 100 or so hours per £ spent which is insane value for money in the modern gaming sense.
Just checked, I have 80 hours played in the last 2 weeks… Know where I can find a rehab?
80? I thought that my 46 hours were insane, but 80 is insane.
80? I’ve had more than that in apex (prior to Linux shutdown) and that game requires social interactions.
I guess I’m the only person that just can’t get into the gameplay loop of building things to make things that allow you to build more things to make things…etc.
I’ve tried. I guess it’s just not for me.
If the concept is appealing to you it could also mean that Factorio itself doesn’t suit you. For example I find the concept appealing and I did put a fair bit of time into Factorio, but in the end it just didn’t click. But I loved playing through Satisfactory and I’m currently playing through Techtonica which I’m also enjoying. Maybe one day I’ll learn to love Factorio but in the mean time there are other factory builders that I’m enjoying.
Dyson sphere program is another one I play when I’m not quite feeling Factorio.
I play for the alien carnage. My factory grows so more xenos may die. If it didn’t have the aliens, I would probably get bored, too. Right around the time you need the 3rd tier research packs, it gets slow as shit with nothing else going on.
And that’s perfectly fine, life would be dull if we all liked and disliked the same things.
Worth noting that Factorio never goes on sale. I assume the DLC will never go on sale as well.
Are they really addicts if everyone is an addict? Nearly highest rated game on steam at one point. Maybe it’s just really good crack.
Being ignored is a whole ass kink. Just a fysa

You are my people, lemmings.
Reminds me of an ancient Fark post that had a partially nekkid girl tied to a chair near a TV with Futurama on it. Caption said “Cool, Futurama is on!”
I didn’t realise the new stuff was mods and I’ve just been playing regular factorio for the last week. I should have been in space two science packs ago!
What? I had to uninstall Factorio to install Space Age on my machine (Linux) - I’m pretty sure I see new stuff in the tree, although I’m still building from scratch in the rare time I get to play.
I sure hope I don’t have to install mods! I’m trying to keep this play clean.
You don’t need mods, it’s a DLC, not a mod.
I think it’s both. You activate and deactivate it in the mods menu.
Yeah, I played the 2.0 vanilla for a week or so after the update came out (comes with quality and elevated trains mods), then bought the DLC and it loads in as a mod as well.
