Intro for the last 2 years I was play testing factorio space AG DLC and so far I have more than 400 hours in it and I've beat the game four times in total two times on a two different multiplayers land parties and two times on a single player game so now I will tell you how the space AG DLC looks like what is my experience and how it works behind the scenes how the DLC was make and all of I don't work for Wube that so first important note even so I had access to space H for a very long time and I was helping build it I do not work for vop software okay I do not work for them I was just helping a little bit with play testing bug fighting and with the event so in this video I will tell What I'll talk about in the video you my perspective of what do I think about the DLC what I think about different mechanics new planets and all of that but also I will tell you what other players think about it because during the land party I spent a lot of time just walking around and asking people hey what do you think about this planet what do you think about this mechanic so my perspective will be from a lot of people point of view at the end I will answer some of the questions from the comment section and for now just What do I think about the game? what do I think about the game so I have access to factoral space AG DLC for a very long time and I saw how it looked two years ago when everything was basically a placeholder and it was just a gray square with text on it saying what the building is also the game balance was yeah there was no game balance however over the years factorio DLC got a lot of upgrades changes bug fixes and all of that so I'll just tell you how the game feels now and I will start from nais we are provided with Nauvis some background footage beol stuff however when it comes to nais there's nothing new I mean the science three is a little bit different but basically it's just simplified na Vis I was asking developers to add something new to nais to make it more engaging and more fun but no they just wanted to keep it simple and it is simple however there's a lot of new quality of life changes to the game like new circuits new map view which is awesome a lot of changes to blueprint especially the force build blueprint is awesome but beside this now this is just na however the technology of some advanced stuff like Cliff explosives better modules stack inserters artillery and some other stuff are locked behind new planets so if you play only on navis with the DLC you cannot access this technology early you have to go to new planet and then you can get it but yeah this is all for nais Vulcanus so now let's talk about vulcanos in my opinion this is the second best planet after the fulgora but I talked with a lot of people and they say vulcanos is like the most broken Planet because you're just Prett printing the resources from the magma also the amount of productivity you get on foundaries is huge you just have way more resources than you can use the unique mechanic on volcanos is the fact that you have to deal with liquids basically a lot you have to make a nice refiner you are mining a fluid resources you are dealing with fluid iron and fluid copper when it comes to Technologies you can unlock on vulcanos I cannot tell you this stuff because it's under the NDA but you are getting access to new buildings which produce you yeah it's you basically can use them to print resources you can also take those new buildings to navis or to other planets and also print the resources there when it comes to uniqueness of play style like I said before you are dealing with a lot of liquids and there is new liquid system so it's fun but I think fgar is more fun Fulgora planet and talking about fulgora in my opinion fulgora is like the most fun to playay planet and also in my opinion the most broken one because after I got to fulgora I felt like inflation hit my base because on fulgora you can make the blue circuits and low density structures for scrap you're basically mining scrap and you are turning those into blue circuits you have blue circuits and load this structure for free I mean you have to make a setup you have to filter all of their resources and do a lot of spaghetti especially with circuits I personally recommend using Bots to deal with all of the spaghetti mes also there is a interesting mechanic with production of electricity and this was my favorite planet because the approach for factoral was completely different instead of going from Zero to Hero with resources from making rough resources from smelting them and all of that you're are going from top to bottom you getting the blue circuits and you have to break them down with recyclers to lower TI then you have to take like red circuits and then break them down to Green circuits and green circuit to copper wires and copper wires to just copper if you want to use copper this switch in mechanic to going from top to bottom was perfect I just love that and I think it's the best planet from the whole expansion also on this planet it's the easiest to make a rocket Parts because you get lowc structures and blue circuits for maybe not for free but kind of for free and making Rocket Fuel it's very simple so I was using fulgora as a resupply planet to my spaceships like if I wanted to tr to put some resources on GBA I was just docking my ship on F Gora taking all of the important stuff and flying to GBA because GBA GBA sucks but yeah I just recommend you f Gora and the Gleba planet I do not recommend you is glba hey hey guys editing TR in here so I was doing some editing for the GBA but there is a problem with it because this literally the only footage we have for the glba this is one base second base and just dude mining some iron glabber like for example look at fulgora 11 shots vulcanos 12 shots now five shots space 11 I guess but on GBA only three and one of those shots is Guy hand mining iron because this is your experience on GBA out of all the teams only two teams build some nice base on the GBA because everybody who was sent to GBA was hand mining stuff and they have pain but enough of that I just want to tell you that the background footage might be pretty limited because this two videos is the only thing I have so I'm sorry for that CBA is the worst Planet also the people I talked with didn't enjoy this planet because it's extremely hard to find any resources on it and if you find any resources they are very very small they are rich like you have 10 tiles of iron which is few Millions resources in it but what you're going to do with few types of iron you can place few Miners and that's all it's not enough to produce anything important also it's very very hard to find any plants of this planet and the whole point of this planet is to farm plants and if you cannot find them you you screw you're just messing around running and looking for the plants if you want to just start on F Gora but the mechanic of spoilage it's Unique I'm not going to lie I like it and it's interesting you have to deal with spoilage you have to deal with freshness because if you are using not fresh ingredient to make science bags then you making like half fresh science packs so you have even less time to use those into the labs so it's an interesting challenge but compared to volcanos where you basically print rough resources and compares to fulgora where you basically print high tier resources on GBA you don't have it glba is the hardest planet to start with and you are not getting any good benefits from it the research which is block behind the Gabba is also H not the best in my opinion I cannot tell you what is locked behind GBA but I was hoping for something better when it comes to fun it is fun when you're ready for it so if you was already on GL oh sorry if you was already on vulcanos and on fulgar and you have the research tree very high and you can afford to bring a lot of resources to GBA like roboports assemblers inserters and all of that crap here so you don't need to deal with starting from scratch then GBA is fine to play but if you are choosing it by your first planet ah good luck and the last plan I cannot The last planet tell you much about it because all of that is under the NDA but when it comes to playing on it it's it's great it has some Unique Mechanics which are very fun to play but it's also similar to GBA when it comes to technology if you're not going to bring enough resources and if you are not prepared to conquer the last planet uh you will not have a lot of fun when I was playing space H for the first time I I brought some resources but then I realized that it's not enough and I haven't brought the core resources and my spaceship which I gets to the last planet got destroyed so I stranded on the last planet and I cannot do much so I started writing help text out of the stone bricks and the funny thing me writing the help text got implemented into the background screen during the many animations so when you get access to factoral DLC you can see me writing help in the background when you are in the main mini so it's a nice touch from me playing the the game but Space beside the planets you also have the space there are basically two space platforms you are building first one is the platform to make the science packs I'm not a big fan of this mechanic because right now you're building some ugly Square spaceship which is producing the science packs and that's all also you building it like few hours into the game and you using it for like next 100 hours because the recipe for science packs in space is so cheap but there is a high chance it got some rework so we will see the other spaceships are like normal spaceships so you have to build a asteroids collector you have to transfer those into useful materials make Fuel and yeah just fly from planet to planet the intended way of doing this spaceship is to make Factory on a spaceship make assembling machines chemical plants and just build the factory on a spaceship however this is the intended way the developers want you to go with and there is the way that a lot of players going with so basically a lot of players just import the items from a planet to a spaceship and then fly this spaceship to another planet so instead of making bullets on a spaceship a lot of players just import the bullets from the planet and go through the space without production beside making the fuel I don't know how viable this mechanic will be of importing the items to your spaceship because developers hate it and they are trying to Nerf it yeah every single patch but we'll see also the funny thing with the spaceships is the fact that one shape is the most popular one everybody want to make a long slim core of the spaceship because it going to hit less meteorites and I think it's funny that this is the most popular design I mean one of the most popular design because the basic Square was also very popular yeah like for example this just a mess with sushi belts and all of that talking about sushi belts the mechanic of reading the whole belt allows you to simplify the process of building the spaceship by our lot which is good because overall it's not easy to make a spaceship because you constantly have to deal with too much of this asteroid too much of iron too much of that and not enough of different uh resources so so you have to throw away some of the stuff to produce more of different stuff all of this is under the NDA so I cannot go into more details however now I can go into more details with different mechanics and not just with the planets the first mechanic I Quality want to talk about is quality some people don't like the idea of random crafting in Factory but in my opinion quality is great because it adds a lot of new TI of items but without introducing new complic recipes just using the same recipe but with a different quality so it's simple at its core but it's very hard to master also this mechanic adds like few hundred extra hours to the DLC if you want to like Master everything but if you don't want to use the quality you're still fine so for me this feature is Rock next Elevated rails feature are elevated Rays personally I'm not the biggest fan of them like I wasn't using them a lot the only reason I researched them and use those because some Planet literally require you to use those but beside that on navis I was just using normal rail because Normal rails work great and if you have any bottlenecks if your Junction are wrongs elevated rails not going to fix that because you are the problem you are the skill issue in your factory however some people like to use those if you're building a huge very late Mega bases then there is use for those but if you are just playing factorio they are but that's my opinion I might have negative New train logic opinion about elevated RS but the New Logic the normal trains this this is awesome this is a game Cher because you can make a whole train group and change the destination to every single train in the group from one place can also set interuption for any item so your train can adapt to your base and choose the train station on their own also they can Refuel on their own and overall the logic is way better it's also easier to for example do this yeah build train just automattic go their destination isn't it cool the train priority you can set the priority there is more icons for the trains so you know why they're not working and there is no just no buff and yeah overall new trains are a little bit more complicated than they used to be so that may be tough but the amount of stuff you can do with them yeah it's it's way better and also they can change the colors so it's it's a huge change which I love okay I think that's enough of my Q&A from people thoughts so now let's see what are your questions I made this post in which you can ask me anything so let's see what you asked me the first comment why when I invite this girl she run bionic what what the is this so the first How did you get this job? question is how did you get this job so I don't have the job I do not work for whoop software how long does it take to How long is expansion? beat the Space Age the estimate of 60 to 100 hours is accurate what is your Best planet and planet order favorite planet and what do you think is the best order to go to I think fulgora is the best Planet the worst planet is of course GBA but when it comes to which planet you should go first maybe vulcanos is number one there was a lot of changes to vulcanos over the years and it got some Buffs so I think right now vulcanus might be top one planet to go to then pulora GBA because you you have to and the last planet because it's the last planet bentot eggs are needed How to get pentapod eggs with enemies turned off? to craft bioch Chambers on glba how will the planet react to enemies being turned off so yes that's that's a problem and the current solution is you cannot turn off the enemies on starting a new game Can you choose different map gen settings for each planet? will you be able to select resource frequency size richness for all planets simultaneous what is this word for all planets at the same time or each planet individually so the current solution to world generation is pretty junky because you're using just one settings for every single planet so for example to generate volcanos you still have the settings for GBA for navis and all of that so right now it's not possible to change richness for each planet but I guess it will change soon we'll see how does the scrap How does fulgora late game works? mining Loop in fulgora change as you scale the factory so scrap on fulgora is the only resource you can get yet so when you scale your factory you also scale your scrap mining facilities to get more items this is just how The fulgura Works how viable is the volcanos How good are foundries on other planets? lava resource Gathering process on other planets so volcanos give you access to foundaries and you can use foundaries on other planets and there are recipes for foundaries which you can use on other planets so even so there is no lava on other planets there is still some recipes that you can use and they are pretty good are there new tired systems Are there new progressive recipes? for resource Gathering where you get more efficient as you unlock better technology so yes when it comes to building a spaceships you are researching a better recipes to do on your spaceship so the better technology you have the better recipes you can use but I cannot tell you more because it's under the NDA who was the most handsome The most handsome person at the LAN party? person at the land party I'm sorry do but it wasn't you I think the most handsome person at the L party was sanki one of the developers but not in his normal form in form of a dragon yeah Soni as a dragon was hot what percentage What was already showed in FFF? of changes have been shared in the factoral Friday facts so there is still like 20 maybe 30% of new content but you're not going to see it in the factoral Friday facts because it meant to be like the late game thing that you have to explore on your own how much of Is it bad to move between planets? a pain has it been to move back and forth between planets when you realize you forgot to bring or fix something or when something breaks so with new map view there is no pain with that because when you have like a working factories on every single planet just work from the map view and at some point you don't even know where is your engineer because the map view is so good right now does Does the DLC feel like a factorio itself or a mod? the DLC feel like Factoria itself or a mod so 2 years ago it felt like a mod they are charging 35 bucks for but right now it's expansion to factorio every mechanic is well integrated with core of factorio and just everything work together great so yeah right now it feels great here are a few questions I Forbidden questions cannot answer because of the NDA but I can answer this one how annoying are How annoying are cliffs? Cliffs with the new terrain generation so the new Cliffs are not annoying at all on my second play through okay so I did two playthroughs alone in in my house so the first one was with the old Cleaves and the CLI was so annoying that I was considering quitting playing the expansion and I was just on nois but yeah I I beat the game so on the second try when I got access to new Cliffs new train generation was implemented then I didn't research the cliff explosives for the whole game because the cliffes right now are not annoying at all zilus do Will there be collab with Dosh? dington cab I've talked with do is a cool dude but when it comes to a collaboration I don't think there is any good video idea we can do do together if you have any idea yeah just write it in the comments also I asked do about GBA Dosh opinion about gleba and he also hates GBA this is his least favorite planet so it's not only me there are also other people that hate GBA did you met some of the other Did you meet other youtubers? YouTubers yes yes I did I met Mojo exterminator nus kov Sky do colonal will and probably some older people I should remember but right now I I forgot I'm What did V453000 do to nerf me? sorry what did vatwa did to nerve you so I was abusing about he was able to basically skip the whole late game because of how fast the ship was rebuilding the walls so I basically built a hammer ship the front of the ship was just full of the walls and I was just going through the asteroids and any asteroid that hit my ship destroyed just a few walls but the walls was basically instantly rebuilt so I was able to fly my ships without using any gun turrets any rocket launchers anything just walls and he nerfed that Last question now it doesn't work where are the hostage okay that's enough of questions for today if you want to get your question answered just become a channel member thank you for watching and see you next time bye
