    don’t know why nobody stated this but space age is basically five times larger than the base game. they’ve announced that even though the game is coming to switch, space age is not since it has much higher requirements.

    it’s not a dlc, it’s a proper expansion.

        it’s more than that Kola, it’s large.

        me and three friends have been spending on average 80 hours each on a space age game together since the expansion released, and we’re currently in the process of getting the third planet (out of five) to produce evenly without getting stuck.

        each planet has basically it’s own tech tree, and you need to re-learn how to build a factory every time because the conditions are so different.

        where we are now, the only resource is “scrap”. building a factory here involves basically running the entire process to build something in reverse, disassembling broken machine parts to extract the components, sorting them, and reusing them in new things. we’re completely swamped in blue circuits, batteries and low density structures, which isn’t much help when you need pipes.
