TL;DR: I would love adjustable day/night cycles for each planet.

The long read....
I love dealing with tougher challenges in this game. One mod I used a lot in 1.1 and earlier was adjusting the day/night cycle on Nauvis to make both days and nights longer. Longer nights stacked with other mods thst ...

How will the change make the game more fun for you?


It already is fun. I did and do not do the "Space Casino," so I am not reliant on it. This game requires puzzle solving and mathematics to push production and efficiency. Getting Legendary items easily is not part of the plan. I also play this ...

Getting rid of the "Space Casino" is the best thing to see here. I always viewed it as a cheaty exploit and refused to ever do it.

The increase of quality trains is a welcome addition.

But man, I am still waiting to see graphical improvements for the Assembling Machines and the Refinery....

I ...

I did not realize that was a thing! Thanks.

So there won't be planet backgrounds for space platforms? Ooh, this question is pretty relevant with platform transfers in action. Ships will obviously be able to transfer items while in orbit, but how will we know the ship is in orbit? The visible planets mod is going to be pretty mandatory so ...

I had a train stuck due to the rails being destroyed down the line. To be specific, it was two rails on the ground and a rail ramp (going from elevated to ground); if that at all means anything. The train resumed its orders once the repairs were made, as expected.

There have always been shadows at night. Just look at your factory/elevated rails/structures.

These have always been there since the beginning.... you ok?

Thanks for the report however I don't believe we will be doing anything about this. This is yet another case of trying to fake 3D in a 2D game that just doesn't quite work right.


Thinking about this further after a couple days; what about having the shadow 'fade' along the ramp? Normal shade at ...

Yeah, I can understand that with this rail ramp. I know that you cast a shadow over the "lower" part of it but have no way of preventing that on the "upper" part of it. Just wanted to point it out just in case.

What can be seen in the attached screenshot is that the elevated rails to the left are casting shadows onto the rail ramp to the right and not on the elevated curved rails. The break in shadows is clearly along the line of those two entities.

Yes

Ok, so this works differently than what was in pre-2.0, whereas we had wagons with 100 slots. I just need to design my loading mechanisms to match how this works. Thank you.

The artillery Wagons can only carry one single artillery round. Unless I am missing something?

Thank you for this game!

As a player that had 20,000+ hours in 1.1 and earlier (many modded and vanilla playthroughs), Space Age will keep me going towards 50,000+! You are the best game devs I have come across and certainly would have happily paid $60+ for each Factorio and Factorio: Space Age ...

Yes, the signal is coming from a chest.

But I do see what you are referring to. SO, it means I had the entity selected and not the capsule.... got it.

This inserter is only supposed to be active when there are less than 400 Destroyer Capsules, the signal coming in is showing 1200, and the inserter is not disabled.

Ok, I understand now. Thank you.

The tool tip window is showing zero Quality improvement unlike the Blue Circuit making Electromagnetic Plant below it.

Also, how are 5 Quality Module 2's only adding up to 2.2% if each are 2%?

I love all of this expansion; so much to look forward to! But....

One thing I am so disappointed on.... the Assembling Machine. Not only does it not get a graphics update, but it also got zero love through 4 more years of development. This one machine that is so numerous in factories looks so out ...
