Factorio Space Age

Factorio: Space Age continues your journey after you launch rockets into space. You travel to new worlds, tackle their challenges, exploit their resources to advance your technology and manage a fleet of interplanetary space platforms.

Space platforms

Space platforms are flying factories that form the backbone of planetary logistics and provide transportation between planets. You defend them from incoming asteroids, catch and crush asteroid chunks to make thruster fuel and turret ammunition, and use Platform hubs and Cargo bays to move cargo between worlds.

Explore new worlds

Each new planet has its own environment, resources and technologies to work with:

• Vulcanus: Extract and refine tough, unbreakable Tungsten for big mining drills and foundries. Draw lava from pits to produce abundant molten iron and copper, then research advanced metallurgy to build an industrial forge-world. Its landscape includes blazing volcanic mountains, imposing geological formations, ash-covered plains and thick yellow sulfuric fog.
• Fulgora: Endure freezing, bone-dry air and nightly lightning storms, whose power you can harness for electricity. Reclaim and recycle high-tech scraps and ruins left by a long-forgotten civilization, and unlock Holmium’s advanced electromagnetic and superconducting properties. The planet is lifeless and desolate, beneath a dull purple sky crossed by wispy clouds and sandstorms.
• Gleba: Discover exotic plants and use Agriculture towers to cultivate and harvest their fruits. Cook, crush and process the produce before it rots into spoilage, and explore biochemical engineering on this humid, misty swamp world.
• Aquilo: Keep machines running in the freezing cold with heat pipes and expand your factory across ice platforms. Unlock cryogenic technologies and fusion power on a world of icebergs, howling winds and a distant sun.

Expand your rail network

Elevated rails add new possibilities and challenges to train networks. Heavy-duty ramps and supports let you raise rails over obstacles or build over water to cross oceans. You can also design multi-level intersections for your rail system.

Improve item quality

Items, entities and equipment can each have five quality levels, from Normal to Legendary. Research Quality modules and use them to craft higher-quality items and intermediates. Higher quality brings greater bonuses, such as faster machine crafting, more powerful equipment and increased turret range.

Face new creatures

Some of the new planets are home to unique, dangerous creatures that you need to defend against.

Space Age music

Czech composer Petr Wajsar provides a unique soundtrack for each new planet and for space, with more than an hour of music for each. The music features professionally recorded orchestral performances.
