Thank you all so much for being here!
Make sure to check out EP1 of my new playthrough releasing 1pm UTC today (approx 40min from now).

❤️ I'm so incredibly excited for Space Age and can't wait to dive into everything it has to offer with you!

[AfatterMan]

ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN! Toot Toot!! Space Age is by far my most anticipated game in recent memory, I'm wickedly excited!

[Snoogen]

After 1.2k hours on this game, I'm sooo looking forward to having to relearn basically everything.

[merakspielman]

The best way I think of explaining the new improved buildings, the better belts and inserters, and especially the quality mechanic is that it allows you to build TALL instead of WIDE factories. That is to say, you'll be able to achieve more with a smaller footprint. It's one of the mechanics I really enjoyed in some modpacks, the idea of having upgraded, higher tier buildings.

I also suspect with fewer chunks exposed, that there might be performance improvements. A TALL factory might run better than a WIDE factory producing the same output.

I’m 2.6K hours into only the base game… I bought the game at the original $20, meaning my per hour cost is .7 of a penny. I think I’ll be able to make good use of the Space Age DLC 😂

[KrimsonStorm]

I have never been so distracted at my office than I have watching this video. Thank god it's a slow Monday (I probably jinxed myself)

I said I wasn't going to spoil myself, but after seeing this video my temptation is too great.

[alejandrosand]

Thank you for giving us Space Age content without new spoilers, also, I think the problem with quality isn't the system per se, but the names that sounds like it belong to a magic/hero RPG

Fluoroketone == Flow - row - key - tone. Very nice summary, really excited for more content and Space Age!

[Omega_MindMaster]

I played space age from 1 month I still I learned some sick facts about content. Really good video !

[pinkyfull]

44:30 honestly, as someone who has limited time to play video games, but enjoys a good long slog through games like factorio, this is terrifying. I don't have nor do i want to spend hundreds of hours waiting for a single legendary furnace just to make a furnace stack 10% more efficient. While i appreciate well crafted content that requires a bit of lateral thinking, and might take a little time. I also don't want a game that disrespects my time. for that reason I doubt I will ever care about rarity

[TijmenZwaan]

11:52 This is no longer the case. The research rockets were removed entirely in favour of just doing all space science in space. The relevant technology unlocks are now triggered techs instead of regular science techs.

[seniorfiance]

So excited! It would be awesome to have a guide on what you should try to accomplish on Nauvis prior to sending your first space platform. It seems like there is a certain degree of preparation recommended but not required.

[davedujour]

This looks very cool and definitely getting back into Factorio next week. Thanks for the great overview all in one place. So much better than following every FFF for the last few months.

[pcallycat]

It's going to be a very long week waiting for the ability to purchase this.

[thoriandragontamer]

I am super looking forward to quality! And the DLC. ALL OF IT!! :D Everything about this is awesome!

[eshepley]

Very good video thank you for not spoiling too much but giving us the basics as you know we cannot not refuse looking lol

[Vix]

I was on the fence about this until I watched this, now I can’t wait! It’s so much better than I thought, thanks for the video. I think I will be turning biters off though, at least for first play through.

[aeggeska]

Thanks for a video with no "non-FFF" spoilers

[ricar]

Amazing video, one thing that could be nice maybe to suggest wube or a modder I think, is to get coolant from Aquilo and spray on spoilable itens so to fix the issue and make another interaction between planets

[aungthuhein]

I have been looking for this exact video! Thanks!
