Will the 2.0 free release also apply to the switch version of the game?

Will there be an experimental/beta branch of 2.0 ahead of October? Also an early beta access for DLC with pre-orders?

It should.
2.0 will be the new game version. (Current is 1.1 with bugfix versions)

The Steam screenshots have some new content, I believe. Like the brainfruit trees from Gleba.

Will the game be sold via your website as well or only on Steam?

Wooo *excited noises*
Will I be able to purchase directly from Factorio website like I did for the base game?

If we want to give you as much support as we can, can we buy the expansion on your site and then claim it at the Steam store? (once it releases). Or do you just give the cut to Steam once I claim it there anyway?

Also, I would like to give you more money. Please provide a way to do that. You are the best!

Just for information, there is a mistakes in the link on the newsletters.

The link is to https://factorio.com/blog/fff-418 instead of https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-418 which make a 404 error.

Overwhelmingly exciting !

2 things:
- I bought the game on the main website, will the expansion also be able on it or will I have to migrate to steam ?

- Will there be any nightly branch test before the official release ? (or is the 21st of October the beta release date ?)

Once again, been playing for 10 years almost, very excited, just like before any major release but to the 1000th power ! :D

So a bit further then longshot guesstimate of September, yet within the margin of "everything takes longer then expected". That is a great news. Thank you for sharing!
Also - why Space Age is not listed in DLCs on the main steam Factorio page? I only see sound track there. Does it have something with "not yet released"?

The DLC will have the same buying policy as the base game, so buyable both on the page or on the steam, and claimable both ways.

Something that caught my attention is a "new turret"?

Also thought that right next to it was a jetpack, but that is probably the platform truster.

108 days away! sounds great! game will be heftier to gift to friends but id gladly say 70$ dollars isn't too bad in this era of gaming. I will say the post is kind of an early overview isn't it? There's still the topic of the undisclosed planet, enemies, etc- but for now I'd assume the overview before release will beautifully cover everything, this is good format. :D

I think the largest question anyone would have though, is what will happen post-dlc in terms of content updates? Will it be the base game or the dlc? (or maybe even a new dlc?) It might seem early to think about but it will eventually be discussed not far after the DLC is dropped. :?:

Still, can't wait for the DLC, i had my doubts but I know it will be good.

$35.00
$1 ≈ 4.00 PLN

4 × 35 = 140 PLN not 160 PLN.

Rest? Great. booked 2 weeks holidays from work starts 21.10.2024. My Manager said - you are crazy, 2 weeks for just playing a game.

There is now a screenshot clearly showing the Landing Pad with attached cargo bays, yet sadly it did not answer a question I had ages ago: Do Cargo-Bays on Planets have the same restriction as in Space: Inserters cannot take items out of them.
Because I'm not a big fan of the Idea of unloading the Pad entirely by drones.

Also: Any Ideas what the little Rocket-Thing above the bottom left cargobay is? Some sort of further delivery system?
