TL;DR
Some of the space-stuff should be earlier in the tech tree.Why?
I spent 12 hours just to get started with the space-platform research, and still don't know how long it'll take before I can actually see the expansion's new content. (I'm also playing on rail-world with less biter evolution, so I can easily believe the reviews on Steam that say it's a 40-hour grind, for normal settings.) This is a pretty big let-down, just to be seeing the same old rocks, trees and aliens, even though I'm allegedly playing an 'expanded' Factorio.What?
- Move basic space platforms earlier in the tech tree, so we can start blasting asteroids sooner.
- Add a telescope, that lets us scout out a planet before we go there. (Like a radar that's centered on the landing site.)
