Factorio Space Age patch notes (October 2024)

As per the official Factorio Space Age patch notes, here's an in-depth look into what players can expect from the title's latest expansion:

Space platforms

The backbone of planetary logistics and the first foray into space. Space platforms are flying factories that act as the means of transportation between planets.

Build defenses to shoot down incoming asteroids that threaten to smash your platform.
Catch asteroid chunks, crush them, and process them into thruster fuel and turret ammunition.
Use the Platform hub and Cargo bays to shuttle cargo between planets with Factorio Space Age.

Vulcanus

Blazing volcanic mountains, imposing geological landforms, plains blanketed in ash, and thick yellow sulfuric fog that burns your lungs and etches your eyes.

Extract and refine tough unbreakable Tungsten to craft big mining drills and foundries.
Pull lava from the pits to produce an abundance of molten iron and copper.
Research advanced metallurgic technologies to build an industrial forge-world.

Fulgora

A lifeless and desolate place. The thin air is freezing cold but bone dry. A distant sun twinkles in the dull purple of the sky. Wispy clouds race by as a gale whips up sand that grates against your armor.

Protect yourself from the nightly lightning storms, and harness their unrelenting power for your own electricity needs.
Reclaim the high-tech scraps and ruins of a long-forgotten civilization and recycle them into usable products.
Unlock the advanced electromagnetic and superconducting powers of Holmium with Factorio Space Age.

Gleba

A vibrant multi-colored swampy landscape shrouded in a light mist. The air is thick and humid, carrying the muffled cries of unseen animals from far away.

Discover exotic plants, and cultivate and harvest their fruits with Agriculture towers.
Cook, crush, and process your produce before it rots and turns to spoilage.
Venture into a new realm of biochemical engineering.

Aquilo

It's day, but stars still twinkle in the dark sky. You count the planet's sun among the stars, larger and brighter than the others, but still so distant you can barely feel its warmth at all. A howling wind chills you to the bone and gently rocks the iceberg you are sitting on.

Build heat pipes to keep your machines operational in the freezing cold.
Extend your factory by building ice platforms.
Unlock the power of cryogenic technologies and fusion power.

Elevated rails

Take your trains to the next level! Elevated rails bring a whole new dimension of challenge and possibility to your rail networks.

Heavy-duty rail ramps and supports to elevate your rails.
Cross over any obstacles, and build supports on the water to cross oceans.
Design advanced multi-level intersections to optimize your train system.

Quality

Make high tiers of quality of all your items, machines, and equipment.

Every Item, Entity, and Equipment has 5 possible qualities, from Normal to Legendary!
Research the new Quality modules, and use them to craft higher quality items and intermediates.
Each level of quality gives a greater bonus, machines craft faster, equipment is more powerful, and turrets have increased range.

New enemies and defenses

Some new planets are inhabited by unique and dangerous creatures you will need to defend against.
