I will create FREE Space Age DLC

[DoubleW]

So, considering Space Age is a mod itself.
May I just create the same mods, which will be a free DLC?

Go right ahead.... don't think Wube would actually mind tbh.

Here's the thing though:
You'll never get the same kind of integration unless you rewrite the game's codebase... at which point Wube IS likely to mind since you're directly infringing on their IP at that point...

[Overeagerdragon]

oh and have fun dedicating some 4 years of your life on that :) Doubt you'll be willing to still release it for free after that time

In fact it already exists, much of the content is based on the Space exploration mod

[Jaregon]

Makes me think of the ark survival mods that add dlc dinos and other stuff to none dlc maps.

No problems, I will re-write the whole code

You could but the devs worked hard on the DLC, they deserve the earnings.

factorio 2.0 is an upgraded game engine from factorio 1.0, (blue print shaders, map generation, fluid logic, etc) it have many changes and engine features that did not exist in 1.0 or possible with mods, if you mod 1.0

back in the days when an online game release an expansion, we used to call it dividing the community, because you now have people who play the original game, while others play the expansion and can not play together unless both have both the game and expansion. in order to avoid that ... WUBE decided all factorio players will have 2.0, and space age will be similar to mods, you enable or disable.

I personally think they deserve respect for that, because the easy route was to ignore 1.0 and just focus on space age.

calling it just a mod feels like someone trying to reduce the amount of effort put on space age and the factorio engine.

Smb mentioned, that Space Age hos no MP. IS that true?

remember; you promised to release it for free :P

[NGMZeroX]

I just remembered something genius, I think in one of the FFF factorio team claimed space-age related function from the LUA have a space age flag, and will only be enabled if the player have space-age. that mean it is possible to have space-age only mods, and you can't just release space-age content for free to those who don't own it.

I am not a modder. some one can fact check this.
