At 32h now and still didn't make it to the first planet... I completely rebuilt my space platform twice already and STILL asteroids destroy it en route. Tutorials are very thin for all the space platform stuff, maybe I'm missing some knowledge they assumed I'd have. But this further exacerbates the ...

The tank tip is really nice, thank you for that one! I had no idea I could drive it while off-world!

Having thought about this some more, I think the right approach might be to gate biter evolution (in the Space Age mod) to only ramp up once you're bringing back resources/technologies onto Nauvis ...

I am a long time fan of Factorio and the Wube dev team.
I love almost all of the changes added with Space Age, per the dev blogs.
But...

I feel like the time it takes to get to the new content is just too much.

I've been rushing to get off-planet and at 25h in I have a basic space platform, but ...

This mysterious star has no name and can't be clicked on...

Love the galaxy, it's so interesting seeing other peoples' bases and platforms!

FYI large yellow 'warning' icons are obscuring large portions of some peoples' maps (e.g Trupen's Fulgora base)

Really love the concept of unlocking territory judiciously via planned combat. Really nice 'chunking' of progression, compared to biter combat. I was hoping to see combat as a form of mining (i.e grinding enemies for unique resource drops) but this is just as good and also enhances the interest ...

Fantastic concept. This is a fundamentally different mechanic, requiring us to balance latency against throughout. This should really shake up factory designs. Awesome!

Instead of making the effect transmission to be the square root of the beacon count, why not just make it to be the quotient (not sure if it is the right word) of the beacon count, so that
1 beacon = 100% effect
2 beacons = 50% effect from each beacon, i.e. the same as placing 1 beacon
3 beacons ...

Fulgora & the mystery planet are definitely my favorite excerpts, very distinct flavors. Space and Vulcanus seem kind of like generic movie music.

I am currently (game version 1.1) using depots for this. It's like an extended waiting area in the outskirts of the city, with the destination in the city itself, where there is only minimal space for waiting areas.


Your solution makes sense and seems like the best approach for the current ...

This is truly amazing. I will be extremely happy to rework all my megabase blueprints! I suspect Nilaus will be a big fan of this one too ;)

One question: when switching a train from group schedule X to group schedule Y, could the switchover be deferred until schedule X is complete? (so the train ...

When placing new belts it would be useful to use the super force build modifier to specify that the new belts are 'dominant' (pre-existing belts should duck under the new belts) as opposed to the default 'submissive' behavior (new belts duck under pre-existing belts). For main bus editing, that ...

These are the happiest GIFs I have ever witnessed.

I have a question regarding traveling to other planets... how am I not going to be terrified to leave my home planet and main base behind, when it is almost certainly under constant siege by biters and I know I won't be able to get back quickly should a breach occur?? Seems like this will make me ...
