The Factorio: Space Age expansion, released on October 21, 2024, builds on the original game by expanding the player’s experience into space. After launching your first rocket, you can explore four new planets: Vulcanus, Fulgora, Gleba, and Aquilo. Each planet introduces unique challenges, resources, and environments that you must adapt to for survival and technological progress.
In addition to new planetary exploration, the expansion introduces several features:
- Space Platforms: These flying factories act as hubs for planetary transportation and defense, including asteroid processing for fuel and ammunition.
- Elevated Rails: A new dimension for train logistics, allowing for complex multi-level intersections and the ability to cross over oceans and other obstacles.
- Quality System: A feature that adds five tiers of quality to items and machines, offering various performance upgrades like faster crafting or increased turret range.
- New enemies and defenses: Each planet hosts unique creatures, adding to the game’s combat challenges.
This expansion enriches Factorio by adding both strategic and logistical depth, giving players more goals to accomplish in space
