Still playing factorio space age. I think we've had a thread about it every Friday since its release. It deserves it though, solidly awesome game.

We finally made it to Aquilo. Kept feeling like every other planet still had minor things we needed to fix. Aquilo feels like the seablock mod a bit. You need to build your own land.

The high power costs of drones, and the requirement to use heating pipes adds some new challenges. Builds tend to look pretty different.

I'm also trying to build a massive space platform for some forms of production. Its almost 4500 tons so far. I expanded it from a ~1000 ton ship that was producing its own space platform. I think I want to see how ridiculous the space platforms can get.

Quality has also been a fun mechanic. Feels like burning massive amounts of resources for slightly better stuff. But factorio is all about using up massive amounts of resources. And usually the resource sink is science, but sometimes science isn't enough.

Yes, people from themotte, well just two of us really.
