Factorio: Space Age is here!

[kitters]

I used to pause game and turn on useful grid with shift+space. How I do it now?

upd. I keep shooting my assemblers

Most likely you downloaded just the base game and not Space Age from the Website

So if I don't see a link for the DLC download and I still see a button to buy the DLC, does that mean I don't have the DLC and somehow bought another copy of the base game?

Yes that means that the account you're logged into factorio.com with doesn't own space age. Please message support@factorio.com if you bought the base game twice. After buying from the website you get a link to the humble website with a upgrade key which you need to enter on factorio.com/profile to upgrade your account with the space age ownership.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. But I did use this link https://www.factorio.com/buy-space-age to buy the DLC, and got the humble code and added in my Factorio profile. So I thought I had bought the DLC, not sure how I bought the base game twice, also didn't know you could buy it twice and add it to your Factorio account when you already owned it.

I've already emailed support a couple of hours ago, I guess there's a backlog? so just waiting.

edit: I've just searched for Factorio on humble and the expansion is listed separately from the base game, but my list of games only shows the base game.

Also when I saw the 'buy space age' link on Factorio.com and bought the game this was just before the official release announcement, and then briefly the link disappeared until a little time after the announcement. Is it possible that when the link first went up it linked to the base game and not the DLC, that's why it disappeared for a bit then came back after someone fixed it? just my guess.

Okay so I think I had the same problem as a lot of people, and it's definitely not intuitive.

You're done!

(PS: it's worth noting that in order to access the game on Steam you need to use a different code, generated under the same page's "Steam Account")

just remember xcom 1-2 EU and TFTD. Now we need updgrade for water/underwater production line. Add few planets with different liquids without any lands.

[Canyon]

Ah, wonderful. Now to convince my friends to buy it so we can play multiplayer...

[Razorlance]

So there must have been some mix up with my purchase as support got back to me and fixed my issue, I can now download space age, thanks for all the help.

[linktothepast83]

Happy to see there is a price parity for the EU compared to the US price.

Thanks Wube. It's been a ride, this last year, leading up to this.

I'm just playing on a random seed but it looks and feels amazing compared to before, and I have to build around the landscape a little more. I like that there are three coal patches in my starting area, one normal, one small, and one tiny. The starting experience is a little bit better than before, too.

Can't wait to get to space, can't wait to play with quality and the planets and everything.

Congratulations!

I personally like updates to the game to make it more fun. But the menu mini videos in the background... The engineer couldn't even kill the enemies during personal defense laser part where it suppose to. Same with the Spidertron part where it should show the power of this giant mech but instead it couldn't even finish killing the biters before the video ends like "AHA!! Look how pathetic you and your mech are after the update. Screw you experienced player.." hahaha
By the way, As I set 600% 600% death world as my standard play through, the major concern of the playthrough is the spawner health increase through evolution mechanic due to the fact that you have to clear quite a bit of nests to gain new resources, it kinda make the run way more difficult than before as more resources need to be allocated on killing them each time you kill one. But still a challenge for myself.(I haven't tried it yet so I wont complain or compliment about the change.)
Still love this game overall keep up the good work.

Soooo, direct option doesn't work for me.
I don't know what's up with HB and stripe, but I used 3 cards + paypal on a linux, a phone, and a mac, with multiple addresses (incl. a hotmail.com) and I'm still getting rejected.

If someone finds some info, I'd like to know. In the meantime I contacted support.

It seems like there are undocumented changes to crafting recipes? For example, I noticed all the power poles require copper cables now instead of plates. Is this just an issue where the unofficial wiki was wrong about these recipes?

[HearingNight]

Copper wires are not connected back to power lines. Maybe someone knows what to do with this?

Welp... now that filter inserters no longer exist the forum ranks will need to be updated

Sure, right after the staff icon

[NotRexButCaesar]

I bought the expansion from the website and it worked correctly with no problems.
