Re: Will Factorio Space Age be on Switch 2?


I will be looking into bringing both base-game and Space Age to Nintendo Switch 2. For base game I will try to make sure it takes advantage of the better hardware in backward compatibility mode, if possible.

This is not a confirmation, it's still very early days. I'm just letting you know it's ...

Re: Will Factorio Space Age be on Switch 2?


I hope that Switch 2 will either be patched for a new Factorio version or work with the current version as is though I expect more updates before June anyway for Factorio.

Switch 2 will be backward compatible with Switch 1, so odds are very high that, at the very least, Factorio will run just ...

Re: Will Factorio Space Age be on Switch 2?

I would seriously like this on Switch 2.

If the rumors are correct, this system should be a good upgrade all-round, including much better RAM and memory bandwidth, which is the main bottleneck for Factorio on Switch. The game would run quite a lot better actually.

I would buy Factorio: Space Age ...

Why? The base game runs fine on the Nintendo Switch and the required specs for Space Age are unchanged.

Re: Friday Facts #418 - Space Age release date


What is the plan for the Switch version? Will it get Space Age the same day, later, or has that yet to be decided?


I’d like to know an update if there is one, but last time they addressed it a few months ago, they said they would look into it after Space Age is complete for PC. They were also ...

Re: Friday Facts #386 - Vulcanus

Simply phenomenal.

My training and work is in illustration, painting, and photography. I don’t have very much experience in digital arts, but games as visual objects have always been intriguing to me. The very first thing of Factorio that ever caught my attention was a simple short clip of the game ...

Re: HDR

Does anyone know whether it would be possible to make an HDR mod for Factorio ? I haven’t modded Factorio before.

With some 3D games HDR is kind of simple to add, but I’m not familiar with how a 2D game engine would go about it.

I ask because I recently saw a vector scan display recently on an ...

I forget where it is exactly, but there is a color picker in the UI at one of the top corners of the inventory. Just don’t remember exact screen and which corner.

Re: HDR


The thing is that Factorio isn't about good quality graphics to most players. Most of the game is spent plopping down blueprints in map mode where there are virtually no graphics at all, just color blocks. It's much more important to optimize graphics for performance (not quality), because the ...

Re: HDR

I’m not sure why people are so negative about HDR here. It makes a huge difference when implemented well. You simply cannot achieve that kind of dynamic range in an SDR image.

It would enable daylight to be much brighter. And furnaces, light bulbs, explosions, fires, and more could all have far ...

Re: Friday Facts #385 - Asteroid Collector


I feel like given the topic trend of the types of FFFs that's been giving detail towards touching several areas of the games systems, whether passively by nature of the feature/in passing as a light mention, or wholly dedicated to the detail of how it interacts with X and Y.

I'm getting a little ...

Official mods (Space Age, Quality, Elevated Rails) can play on Nintendo Switch ?????
I would like to know this as well. How will all this content work on Nintendo Switch which does not support mods?
