Graphics

Improved map colors by adding specific colors to beacons, pipes, heat pipes, roboports and steam engines.

Sounds

New or updated sound effects include:
Pump, pumpjack, boiler, heat pipe, offshore pump, substation.
Logistic and construction robots, roboport.
Train.
Rocket takeoff sequence.
Car and tank (pitch scaling adjusted to sound more natural).
All transport belts, splitters, inserters, assembling machines, power switch.
Added some UI sounds that were missing.
Shotgun, small explosions.
Entity destroyed alert.
New sound tech includes:
Listener position set to centre of screen by default. This will allow you to hear what you see even when in map mode.
The ability to turn off the Doppler effect in Lua, used for the Substation so far.
environment-audible-distance setting increased to 30 so you can hear entities a bit further away.
zoom-volume-coefficient changed so you can hear more of the world when you zoom out. This will help with combat and give a greater sense of the overall factory.

Factorio: Space Age

Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories. You will be mining resources, researching technologies, building infrastructure, automating production and fighting enemies. In the beginning you will find yourself chopping trees, mining ores and crafting mechanical arms and transport belts by hand, but in short time you can become an industrial powerhouse, with huge solar fields, oil refining and cracking, manufacture and deployment of construction and logistic robots, all for your resource needs. However this heavy exploitation of the planet's resources does not sit nicely with the locals, so you will have to be prepared to defend yourself and your machine empire.

Join forces with other players in cooperative Multiplayer, create huge factories, collaborate and delegate tasks between you and your friends. Add mods to increase your enjoyment, from small tweak and helper mods to complete game overhauls, Factorio's ground-up Modding support has allowed content creators from around the world to design interesting and innovative features. While the core gameplay is in the form of the freeplay scenario, there are a range of interesting challenges in the form of the Scenario pack, available as free DLC. If you don't find any maps or scenarios you enjoy, you can create your own with the in-game Map Editor, place down entities, enemies, and terrain in any way you like, and even add your own custom script to make for interesting gameplay.
