Factorio, the popular Steam management game, is receiving significant quality-of-life upgrades including changes to the Spidertron remote, enhanced pipetting, and improved blueprint grid adjustment. With a dedicated player base and a 97% positive rating on Steam, these updates are anticipated to be well-received. The game's developer, Wube Software, is also working on Factorio 2.0 and Space Age updates for later in 2024.
The upcoming Factorio: Space Age expansion will introduce new rails that double the number of directions a rail track can be placed, as well as the ability to create elevated rail systems using ramps and supports. This allows for two layers of rail systems and the extension of railways across bodies of water. Additionally, the Rail Planner will now allow snap connections between ground and elevated rails. These changes aim to make creating efficient factories easier in the game. The expansion is expected to release on PC in late 2024.
Developer Wube Software has announced the first expansion for the acclaimed automation sim game Factorio, titled Space Age. The expansion will continue the game's journey after players have launched rockets to escape the crash-landed planet, allowing them to explore new worlds, exploit unique resources, and manage interplanetary space platforms. Space Age will feature four pre-defined planets with different themes, challenges, and mechanics, and players will need to send multiple rockets into space to gather resources and unlock new technologies. The expansion is expected to be released in about one year, alongside a 2.0 update that includes improvements for all players.
