Did you know that you are technically using a mod when you're playing vanilla? It's called "base", and it behaves like all the other mods that are out on the mod portal -- except that it's guaranteed to be the first mod that's loaded (if it is loaded at all, other mods can add a conflict against the base mod). Unless there are restrictions put on by what the hardware can deal with, I imagine that the game will make an exemption for the official mods (after all, these are mods taken care of by the developers, not by some random modders who may or may not know what they are doing).Dylan J.

Friday Facts #373 - Factorio: Space Age
Re: Friday Facts #373 - Factorio: Space Age
A good mod deserves a good changelog. Here's a tutorial (WIP) about Factorio's way too strict changelog syntax!
Re: Friday Facts #373 - Factorio: Space Age
These are official mods, so I hope we can play them on Nintendo Switch as well.

Re: Friday Facts #373 - Factorio: Space Age
Don't see how, the expansion will increase memory usage and the switch is already struggling to run the game as is.
Re: Friday Facts #373 - Factorio: Space Age
The expansion will have artificial biter/structure limits in place on nauvis, similar to pollution, where going over a certain amount of entities makes you auto-loose :^)

Re: Friday Facts #373 - Factorio: Space Age
Wait, you mean cliff explosive technology comes after I launch a rocket? This doesn't make much logical sense. I like to play with default settings, but I always go for cliff explosives first. This would likely force me to play with cliffs off, which I don't want to do. It would almost be a deal breaker for me to drop $$ on an expansion.
Re: Friday Facts #373 - Factorio: Space Age
If you step back and try to see the big picture, the lack of cliff explosives before rockets might not be the issue in 2.0 it would be in 1.1.Haisom wrote: βMon Oct 23, 2023 3:45 amWait, you mean cliff explosive technology comes after I launch a rocket?

We've already seen that rockets will be far less expensive to build that today. If I understand things correctly, rockets will be pushed far earlier in the tech tree, so waiting for cliff explosives shouldn't be waiting for ultra endgame. Moreover, with trains being able to be elevated, one of the needs to destroy cliffs will vanish. Belts can already cross cliffs, so they would remain useful for clearing out space to build the factory, but far less necessary early game.
Let's wait and see what comes next.

Re: Friday Facts #373 - Factorio: Space Age
I'll be following for sure, but it just seems backward that I have the technology to launch a rocket but can't make a cliff explosive. I really like having the cliff explosives to shape the land the way I see fit. I realize we can go over the cliffs, but I don't really want to. I guess I can just play with them off, but then I hate having something useless (cliff explosives) later in the game. I like using what is available, oh well.Koub wrote: βMon Oct 23, 2023 6:00 amIf you step back and try to see the big picture, the lack of cliff explosives before rockets might not be the issue in 2.0 it would be in 1.1.Haisom wrote: βMon Oct 23, 2023 3:45 amWait, you mean cliff explosive technology comes after I launch a rocket?

You could also grab a mod to move them earlier in the tech tree, tooHaisom wrote: βFri Oct 27, 2023 4:03 pmI'll be following for sure, but it just seems backward that I have the technology to launch a rocket but can't make a cliff explosive.

Re: Friday Facts #373 - Factorio: Space Age
Is this going to come to Switch too? or is that completely abandoned now? I didn't see a clarification in the post about it coming to the Nintendo Switch.
Thank you.
Thank you.
