  Factorio is amazing. It is so good and so complex.

  I am stoked to see what they do next!

    Factorio 2 where you (an ant)have to survive an ever growing mechanical nightmare that burns your crops, poisons the water supply, and delivers a plague onto your houses.

      That actually sounds like fun.

      I’ve actually been working on an ant settlement sim in godot, but it’s closer to dwarf fortress than factorio

      So we’re just playing as the biters instead?

    A first person version maybe but that’s what satisfactory did, but overall I think smaller and less massive would be better.

      I am going to check out that Satisfactory. That sounds interesting.

      Idisagree completely with your second point, fuck that I want it bigger.

  In the era of mismanagement and cancellations, it’s nice that they’re like “oh we think this is pretty much as complete as we could make it and there’s not much more room in it to grow. Now what do we make next”

    They spent years making the gears in the conveyor belt slightly more efficient in fps, their development itself is a work of art.

    Not a long as the modding community keeps going.

  The one thing that’s unclear is if they are going to change the spaceship scheduling, sending, dropping, etc. interface. That could be QoL. Otherwise I’m not sure what else would justify a big patch and a big version bump. We’ll see…

    It’s just codifying the 77 stable beta increments they’ve released since 2.0.

    There's strong indications that there is going to be some minor but technically base-breaking rebalancing. Getting rid of "space casinos" (quality asteroid upcycling) and platform thruster stacking was mentioned as being ready over a year ago, but they didn't want to break existing bases at that time. This is their last good moment for it.

      I imagine the LDS shuffle and maybe fluid voiding will be targeted as well.

    They have teased changes to quality, my guess is changes to asteroid processing and quality trains

  Satisfactory just went on sale on my steam too. I’m too caught up in other games tho. Like, I’m trying to convince myself to go to sleep and not stay up all night fighting space pirates in NMS but that just sounds like more fun than sleep.

  Aaand, why is that a news? Wube (devs) were much clear on many things, includes 2.1 being final version for lot of time now. We did learn some details, it is focused on QoL and some balance, no new content, but some new modding options at most.

  We even had a little teaser of what may come next, devs already preparing self for next game, that will also take freaky lot of time to make, and it may be an mmo genre.

  All set in stone, just like price and no-sales.

  I can’t wait to see what they make next!
