The sweetest sound x)

[husnikadam]

Spotify release when? Please, do it for the OG sountrack too!

Thank you a lot for the release though! Will buy it first thing once I get home!

[foxiest_engineer]

Awesome! Will be picking up that album. I need to try and find my own bug heh, my first personal bug in my Factorio career.

[Ludwig234]

I have been on experimental since 0.17 entered experimental.

I can't recall that a crash has happened a single time, it probably has but is has likely happened less than 10 times.

Your experimental branch is more stable than the vast majority of games stable branch (or only branch) years after launch.

Thanks for filling my Friday with more Factorio!

[BJNick]

Huge thank you to Petr for an incredible audio experience! Best part about the DLC!

List of in-game tracks that I think deserve a bit more love in the soundtrack:

• Fulgora 1 (Don't tell me 3:30 is completely missing!!)
• Fulgora 3 (Notable section: 5:18 - 7:00)
• Vulcanus 7 (Really starts going at 3:00)
• Gleba 6 (Notable section: 4:26 - 7:15)
• Gleba 8 (Overall great in my opinion, could be shortened a bit.)
• Gleba 9 (Notable section: 4:07 - 5:35)

As a vivid and dedicated supporter of Factorio since 2016 I never used Steam (always downloaded from Wube‘s website) and don’t want to start now.

Pls build a direct download possibility

[Rebmes]

Yes, this will be useful once I have a life outside Factorio again.

Spotify release when? ...

+1 for Spotify release

Just for ease of playing it on all my devices.
I think there is a way to play local music in Spotify app, but that would be hassle to get to phone too etc.
So please ...

Agreed, same here!

[BlueTemplar]

Yeah, really great music in SA !
(At least in all 3 of the Space / Vulcanus / Fulgora locations whose new tracks I've heard so far.)
Really supports and enhances the mood of those places !!

I think I might have heard some weird static on Fulgora... but that's part of the weirdness of the place I guess ??

----

I'd like to humbly ask for a non-platform version of the music track too.

(While Factorio would be the kind of game for which I don't boycott Steam any more (since Steam Deck),
(with native Linux support, no Workshop, no minimal Steam Multiplayer integration),
I guess I'm just really used to Wube going the extra mile on the libre software side, compared to most other game developers. )

I was also looking for a direct factorio.com purchase link

Is there planned release of physical media with said soundtrack? I don't do spotify nor steam( and never will) and i believe in genuine experience of holding jewel case with boxart and pressed CD inside. For now i am grinding over musical assets of game but if there's a possibility to pump more money into Factorio i am all in.

[Deozaan]

It seems strange to me that the official soundtrack doesn't contain all the music from the game, but it does contain some tracks that are not in the game.

Please remember that you have customers on GOG as well. I don't have the budget for it right now but I do intend to purchase Space Age on GOG at a later date, as well as the soundtrack if it is made available there.

[Marvin01]

As others have said, many great tracks are missing, I hope that will be addressed in the future :/

[MEOWMI]

Were some tracks omitted because they didn't have "full album versions"...? I can assure you, they would still be a great addition and practically everyone would want them even if they only have some very basic remastering! I'm really glad you included the full versions that we otherwise don't hear in game, but it's sorely missing the tracks that somehow didn't make it.

[BlueTemplar]

Well, game's tracks themselves are also already directly available under /factorio/data/space-age/sound/ambient/<surface>/...

[kitters]

We do have a nice graph of automated crash reports since the release

So, I don't need to send reports on forums as game asks me to (attaching .log file)? When game crashes you get reports automatically, don't you?
