All I can say is; Oh dear.
The addictive optimization game adds even more methods of optimization to play with.

I’m suspicious. WoW added quality to crafting recently and it kind of sucks. This looks like a much more thoughtful approach, but I’m still skeptical that it will actually be fun and not a headache.
Good analogy to WoW. I’m a pretty serious crafter and it’s only added headache. I don’t care for it there or here.
It’s an interesting juxtaposition if nothing else, since WoW crafting has you going for quality over quantity at all times - since you don’t really do bulk crafting there, while Factorio has always been about quantity and optimizing crafts per second.
I’m personally really interested to see how the addition of quality will affect factories going forward, going to be fun to see how people adapt buses and the like to handle it.
The lengths to which this game goes to steal all my free time is absurd.
I love the mechanics. But the naming could be much better. This is not WoW.
It’s the same colors and naming used in Cyberpunk 2077 for item rarity as well.
And also the same as in Starfield.
I feel at this point, those colours and names are essentially a cultural baseline - in the context of game item quality, to differ from them is rarer than to use them
Was a bit skeptical at first, but looks like they have thought this through and tested it plenty. Can’t wait to try it out.
But I’m glad it’s not in the vanilla experience
Can’t wait!
Hope devs eat speed module lvl 3 for breakfast
As long as they also get a legendary quality module in there
Legendary speed module lvl 3s. For when you have a need, a need for speed.
meh, so far 2 out of 3 announcements have been very underwhelming for me. I tried space exploration, didn’t like it. A simplified version of that is still just a simplified version of that. And this quality thing just serves to make shit unpredictable, which is a step backwards to me. I hate probabilistic recipes, and the main draw here is to make everything probabilistic
So far I only liked the bot improvements. I feel quite disappointed so far, tbh
I think there’s a group of people who are just going to avoid quality completely and have entire factories running at normal quality only. Kinda similar to how some people don’t really do nuclear.
If you don’t like the concept of going into space though maybe this expansion is not for you. I think the base game will get the bot upgrades for free anyways.
yeah but I won’t be buying the expansion if a bunch of it is optional content I’d want to avoid
Well now I have a hankering to play Factorio. There goes September, I guess!
I think this looks fun. I’ll definitely try it out when the expansion comes out.
