Steve Troughton-SmithPicking Factorio back up for the first time in years, in preparation for the upcoming expansion. I'd never seen the vignettes on the title screen before — what a delightful little feature!
I finally started a new playthrough of Factorio, with Space Age enabled — I think my first fresh start in maybe 6 years. I love the progressive disclosure; they don't even tell you there are other planets until you're dozens of hours into building on your first
From this point on, I have absolutely no clue how to play the game. It's all uncharted. New items, new UIs, new mechanics. I'm a little overwhelmed…
Somehow I pulled it back. Really cool that the different planets in Factorio do give you that 'challenge mode' or 'survival island' kinda feel.
…is what I thought I was about to post. Until I realized that my spaceship no longer existed, and had silently been eaten while I wasn't paying attention.
I guess now I have to slowly build and launch another from scratch 🤡
Michael Hanson@stroughtonsmith This is where you start looking for a bigger island. Good luck!
