[Klonan] Space Age Website Inaccuracies
Posted: Fri Nov 08, 2024 12:03 am
Hello,
I have noted some inaccuracies on the Factorio website. Some of this was previously reported via email, but was not replied-to so assumed to be lost in the noise. Reporting in the Bug Forum because it seemed like the proper place.
In FFF-433 the Link for "Space Exploration" leads to https://mods.factorio.com/mod/jetpack; the same as the previous link ("Jetpack"). The correct Hyperlink destination would presumably be: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/space-exploration.
On the Space Age Presskit the last paragraph lists the release date in future tense “will release on October 21st 2024”; not the expected “was released on October 21st, 2024”.
While the Terms of Service was updated by the addition of language “ Throughout this document, Factorio refers to the Factorio video game as well as the Factorio: Space Age expansion.”, this only raises issues further down which may be ambiguous or confusing:
“ You get access to the game by buying the membership. A single payment is all it takes to obtain full membership and unlock all features of the Factorio game.” - The Base Game and the Space Age expansion are purchased as separate transactions.
“ Possession of the membership entitles you to all the updates to the digital content associated with this membership for free in the future. Specifically this means that future updates to the core game are for free. However this doesn't include any more significant products that we might release, such as a Factorio DLCs, Factorio 2, etc.” - Space Age IS the theoretical DLC being referred-to here. The current version string (2.0.X) may be confused with “Factorio 2” - whereas an unannounced future sequel title could reasonably be “Oriotcaf”
