[Visione]

A bit late to the party, but I'm gonna miss the dev blogs! Keep up being awesome Wube, I'm excited to see what's next in store, brand new game is very welcome! And I hope there will be more dev blogs about that too!

I know this might not be what you all personally want to do with your life and carreer - but I, to be honest, would much prefer to not see you move on to the next game.

There are plenty of other companies developing other games. There is only one company developing Factorio. And while a lot of work has already been done, a lot of work can still be done, and I don't think that's going to change in the foreseeable future.

You should not be surprised though when they probably will value their own happiness more than yours . My consolation is that if Kovarex has a good idea he wants to implement it very probably will be a new genre, just like factorio was unique. And if he gets no idea, they eventually might return to adding something to factorio to keep themselves occupied.

I know mods will fill in the gap, though it is possible the mod browser could eventually stop working.

I don't think they will stop maintaining Factorio. I.e. they'll surely release a patch when something stops working. It isn't even about the money but they surely want their creation to always look perfect.
