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!)

There’s a new factorio game??
It's a dlc that adds 3 new planets to explore after you finish the game. It's quite fun if you like factorio.
I'm assuming you've played it, but for others reading this: It's more than just bonus content, the base game has been reworked to integrate the planets into the progression.
A Space Age playthrough is different than a base game playthrough basically from the get go.

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.

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!"
Bruh I literally forgot how to play this game, I already have Space Age, but I just don't have the time to play it that much :(
I was doing good a couple months back, had an awesome base, then it got absolutely fucked by a horde of spider crickets or whatever you call them.
Hope she's into orgasm denial.
For days
Kinky is as kinky doesn't.

Finished it just yesterday night…I think I should check on my girlfriend.
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.
What? But the factory must grow
Finished? Factorio?
Completed it mate
Same as winning the Internet
Being ignored is a whole ass kink. Just a fysa
I brought space age and I havent even gone to space yet. I havent even played with that part enabled, I've just been making a vanilla megabase with the new quality items and rails. They're insane it reminds me of bobs mods.
I’m no factorio expert and I prolly took 20 hours before I managed to get to another planet. Blows my mind people can beat the whole game in that time.

Opposite of me! Have yet to touch quality...
How did you deal with research? Just mod it?
As [email protected] said, all parts of Factorio are mods, and can be enabled separately. The Base mod, which can't be disabled has the vanilla game; the Quality and Elevated Rail mods, which are from the Space Age DLC but can be activated whenever; and the Space Age mod.
I don't know which mod is responsible for changing science and recipes though. Coupd be either side.
Pretty sure quality is it's own mod that you can run independently of space age, but I could totally be wrong there.
You're correct. I'm running base game, quality, elevated rails. No space age.
Absolutely valid move here, we started a mp server, three total players and while we didn't do any kind of rush, we all agreed most of us will need a lot more hours to actually get to play with everything properly.
