The Factorio: Space Age expansion was just released on October 21, 2024, adding a significant amount of new content to the popular factory-building game. Some of the key features of the expansion include:
- New planetary environments to explore and exploit, such as asteroid factories, Frostpunky iceworlds, and rotting jungles, each with their own unique challenges and resources.
- Space platforms that serve as the means of transportation between planets, requiring the player to equip them with defenses and thrusters.
- Opportunities for biomechanical engineering by harvesting and processing strange flora on certain worlds.
- Extreme environmental conditions on some planets, like the freezing temperatures of Aquilo that force players to build robust heating systems.
- Over an hour of new original music composed by Petr Wajsar.
- Elevated railways that allow for more complex multi-level transportation networks.
The Space Age expansion is being described as effectively a sequel-sized DLC, significantly expanding the scope and progression of the Factorio experience. It was released alongside the free 2.0 update for the base game, which includes a range of optimizations and improvements across the board.
