Factorio? Have you played Space Age at all yet?

I'm in the process of playing it. Still haven't built the rocket yet, but getting there. Did my first central bus this time around.

I'm playing, too. There are a few later techs, like the spidertron, that I kind of neglected, in the past, because I didn't have much use for them so late in the game, and I like that the longer game is giving me a chance to give them a real workout in Space Age.

I don't think I've built anything past what the original game had yet. I'm finding it somewhat tedious, because I don't have enough iron bandwidth and I have to keep expanding my sources. Off playing Stalker 2 instead. 😉

I think they made the default settings for the starting planet a bit less mineral rich, to encourage branching out to new planets. The default settings would not be great for a high throughput operation. Thankfully, I decided to do a pretty chill playthrough, anyway, so it worked out.
