@a2bb how do you know when the expansion isn't even out yet. And the SE dev is working with factorio devs on this update anyway.

@Steveskeletonne They have outlined their intentions and scope in their blog.

I guess at this point, would “Early Access” or a public beta count?

@AaronBreckenridge If the purpose of a beta is to test before release, then I don’t think it should count. By the blog post, it’s already had a private “release” and is getting tested in office LAN parties.

@capybara released means normal full release. this is about whether the planned release date to the public is hit

@Ernie does steam "early access" count? it took years for them to release the base game as not-early-access on steam...

@nyanotech if the average random person can buy it, I'd consider it released. that is, "released" is a logical status; the bucket/terminology that steam puts it in is not related;

Friday Facts #373 - Factorio: Space Age | Factorio

Hello, long time no see! Today we are going to talk about the expansion which is called Factorio: Space Age. Mp4 playback not supported on your device. (Click here for static image version) What is Factorio: Space Age?kovarex Factorio: Space Age continues the player's journey after launching rockets into space. Discover new worlds with unique challenges, exploit their novel resources for advanced technological gains, and manage your fleet of interplanetary space platforms. Vanilla Factorio ends by launching the rocket into space, so I always expected it to be quite obvious what we are going to do next. Honestly the space platform related gameplay was actually planned a very long time ago, and we had shown a little bit in FFF-74. ...

@AaronBreckenridge

This means, that we have something we are happy with, is pretty stable, and we don't expect any further brutal changes to come. We have a relatively stable list of tasks to be finished both for programmers and artists, which makes us confident that we can release a polished product in about a year.

Ouch
