Space Age is kinda boring title

[robfilrhijar]

How about factorio -nauvis and beyond or factorio final frontier . Insert your own ideas suggestions. The reason i say this is i want factorio expansion to be a success and starting out with a name very similar to a mod that is not your average mod may in fact hinder its appeal to average gamers and thats just bad marketing.

Factorio: Starship Troopers

I think the name is rarely the thing that makes or breaks the marketing. If the product is good and everybody talks about it, the name will catch on. Also space age, while rather simple, gives a pretty good idea of what the expansion is about. Most players won't know the name "Nauvis", so something like "Beyond Nauvis" would be worse because people don't know what to expect.

So, while pretty basic, the expansions name could have done a lot worse. At least they don't call it FactoriU or so.

Beyond Nauvis. That sounds pretty good for DLC name.

Does it? According to Wikipedia, the "space age" is the period after 1957 defined by us launching rockets into space.

Since we have been doing that all along in the base game it's not really clear how the expansion is going to be different based on the title alone. On the other hand, "Beyond Nauvis" would tell the buyer that we are going to go to different planets.

Most people don't have a clue what Nauvis would refer to, so it's a shïtty title.

Almost nobody knows what wikipedia says what the "space age" period is. What players know is that we have been sending rockets to space but haven't been in it. So space age promises a bigger focus on that part.

Question: What do you expect, what percentage of Factorio players know the word Nauvis? The name doesn't appear in the game itself (as far as I know), it is a super obscure fact that only the dedicated hardcore player base knows about. Heck, if you would have asked me a week ago what "Nauvis" is I am not sure if Factorio would come to my mind, and I am part of the tiny amount of people (tiny compared to the sales number of the game) who hang around in Factorio's steam forum.

I googled your name and i have no idea who you are, so I am incapable of communicating with you, as I don't know your nationality nor what languages you speak.

All I know is you must be a famous NBA llayer with that kind of reach. You are overdoing yourself when it comes to complaining.

[jspanglet]

OK, I'll ask. What is Nauvis?

[jspanglet]

The name is obvious. Factorio 2 Electric Bugaloo.

Nauvis is the name of the planet the vanilla base game takes place on. The one with all the angry ankle biters, and not-so-ankle-biters.

The name could be "poopy kingdom" and the gameplay mix of gacha and playing with poop and it would still sell...
A lot of people playing this game are totaly adicted, they dont care about anything but the name Factorio. Just read the coms, they already decided that this DLC, we know nothing about since we dont have any real gamplay video, was a masterpiece.

Just like people who hate on the game just simply to hate? Maybe they think its going to be a masterpiece because the game was a masterpiece and they see no reason to think the future DLC is going to be bad.

Also, anyone with half a brain will spend the 15 mins it will take to search and watch a video on the exact content of the mod before they purchase it when it comes out, so its not like they will be playing a game of Russian roulette with there money.

If by hater you tryed to imply i was one, you should point out where anything i said contain any hate toward Factorio.

I'm talking about how addicted people are not capable of thinking rationaly and spend money as soon as they can.
It's a fact that many people are addicted to factorio, you just need to look at their game time, and a lot of them actualy say so themself.
It's also well know that adicted people spend their money irationaly.

It's always the same with these kind of game, when someone does not say only positive things about it you'll find people complaining about "hater"...

No I was talking about the ones who hate simply to hate. Also, kinda hard for people to irrationally spend money on the game when its literally a one time purchase since the game was created, with the DLC being the first time for a second purchase. Addicted spending would be like playing a game with in-game purchases i.e. battle royal games that sell skins/cosmetics and constantly buy them, or buy into the gambling boxes they sell.

And again, anyone with at least half a brain will be able to review the FFF released every Friday, watch a trailer that will no doubt be released or watch multiple different youtubers/streamers cover the release of the DLC in order to make a "rational" purchase. You know, for the game they already enjoyed for hundreds of hours...why is it so hard to believe that maybe, just maybe, the DLC is going to be great from the get go? We aren't talking about EA releasing this are we? Cause if they bought out Wube then I agree whole heartedly on it being a bad purchase.
