What is cool about this expansion? I haven’t looked at it because I don’t care all that much. Growing my py factory is taking pretty much all my free time.

4 new planets with new logistics chains, special challenges and enemies, as well as space platforms/rockets. And a bunch of new content to go with it. Its at least double, if not close to triple the amount of content.

Great, I had things to do today

You can still get them done, the expansion isn't released publicly yet

Do I have to though?

Dosh Doshington just made his last Factorio video without the expansuon, after playing with the expansion, and basically complained about how much better the game is with the update about once every couple minutes for an hour while building his first ever megabase, haphazardly.

That is a good sign. I’ve been playing it for years and think it is just about perfect as is (assuming I have mods). So I guess I’m excited about it now!

Well if you dont know much you can of course read all the Friday facts. But you could also just jump in s find out all the new cool stuff for your self!

I know some YouTubers have done some "Review" of most new stuff in the DLC and in Factorio 2.0 (Xterminator is one example I know of)

But to give some examples of why I am excited:

  • New train scheduling(train interrupts)
  • New train tracks
  • Completely new mechanics
  • New building improved building (assembly, furnace, chemical plant)

And last but not least (maybe this one Iam the most exited to try out)

  • Quality modules

Neat. I’ll have to try it out when it comes out.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago
