21st of October, let’s go!
Available on Steam for wishlisting now as well.
Not sure I agree with having the expansion on the same cost as the base game, but it is a tremendous amount of changes and improvements, both in the free patch as well as the additional paid content. So I’m definitely going to buy it.

Awesome! I don’t buy many games on day 1, but Factorio is the exception.
Same. I have a general rule that I don’t pre-order. I also tend to wait for reviews to come in. This is because I’ve been burned in the past. I made exceptions to this for CP2077 and KSP2, and we all know how those went.
So what used to be more like general guidelines for myself have now become strict rules.
But Factorio has earned an exception. They’ve proven time and time again that the game is a product of passion and not (primarily, at least) profits. This has been clearly visible since I first bought it during early access in 2016 or thereabouts.
So its expansion will be instabuy for me. The game has simply given me so many hours of entertainment that one could argue that if anything, at least I will now have paid full price for the game I already have (I don’t remember what I paid for Factorio, but it was dirt cheap).
It’s reasonably easy to guess exactly what you paid for the game, since the only change in price since launch was a $5 bump in January last year. It’s never been on sale.
It’s never been on sale, but the price HAS gone up multiple times since it was first launched in alpha.
By “launch”, you mean its release date, right? I paid for early access years before that.
I bought Factorio for 20$, and my friend bought it for 25$, And now it costs 35$.
So there have been different prices over the years
I assume both the $20 and $25 prices were during alpha/early access. Was thinking entirely of release pricing.
I don’t remember when Factorio was in early access. But I can see in my steam purchase history I bought it 1. Sep 2017
There isn’t even any risk, considering the amount of detail they’ve covered in the dev blogs.
Yup, the factorio devs have earned the trust required.
Yeah, they have proven that they don’t release garbage, in multiple separate ways. They are the among the best game devs ever
It releases on my birthday !
I don’t think I have a choice then, I’ll have to get it on day one.
It releases while I’m on the way back home from a trip to Manchester, might have to bring my Deck so I can play on the flight/train.
