Factorio is just one of those warm fuzzy pieces of software that I am glad exist. It's amazing the little quality of life things they are adding to something I always felt had much more so than the average game out there. The little part with the delete and watching the belts route around the deletion is just a nice little amazing addition.
I'm excited about the direction they are hinting at taking the game. The one thing factorio does best over other factory games IMHO, is that it has many features to assist in late game scaling. Currently playing a satisfactory save on and off and in the later tiers I am feeling click fatigue for reproducing things, even with the assistance of the blueprints. In factorio it is more a logistics puzzle rather than fighting with moving something over one tile due to an oversight.
All in all I am looking forward to jumping back into factorio when the expansion makes its way out.
With all the changes to the base game that have been announced over the last few weeks, I feel like at least half of my usual choices for quality of life mods will be compeletely obselete. (Though...
With all the changes to the base game that have been announced over the last few weeks, I feel like at least half of my usual choices for quality of life mods will be compeletely obselete. (Though I'm not sad about that, it'll be great to see what modders build on top of Space Age!) The space logistics and tiles look really cool but "super-force-building", removing landfill, and logistics groups will remove a lot of very frustrating rough edges in the game.
Is there any idea about when the expansion is coming out? I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to try to make a new mega-base or wait for the expansion.

https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-373 No idea if they've historically hit their planned release dates, but I figure you've got a while yet before it comes out.
Since we know where we are and what is the goal, we can start to approximate the date of releasing the expansion, which is planned to be about one year from now.

And a link to Friday Facts #382 - Logistic groups for anyone that missed it, since there wasn't a topic for it last week.

I also don't know how they've been about projecting their release dates, but "end of 2024" seems like a reasonable ballpark
