I’ve played a few hours of #Factorio 2.0 this week. I’ve bought Space Age but since I’ve started a new game I haven’t seen any of the expansion content yet. Looks amazing so far though!
The way the world generates seem cooler now. On my map I don’t have little cliffs all of the place getting in the way, but rather the occasional ledge that makes you think ‘oh I could put my chemical plants on that cliff’, kind of prompting a bit of thought when you’re planning things out, rather than just being an obstacle. Same with the water. I drove around in my little car following the shoreline and I discovered a little sort of land bridge fairly nearby. No idea what I want to build there but it was much more interesting to explore than previously.
I’ve built my first train and I’ve had a little look at the new train menus. I can’t wait to try having my trains drop what they’re doing to go and refuel and stuff.
I’ve only ever finished the game once and that was with biters turned off. This time around I have them on, but with all the sliders turned down so that they shouldn’t cause too much trouble. Gives me an excuse to actually look into Military science this time. I wonder if I ever will actually make it to the other planets - I hope so, they look really cool
