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?

This guy is trying to award bait, but I see it didnt worked out.

I played it and it is fun. You have a hole system with planets to colonize. Unfortunately, the Performance getting really bad in the endgame and it's not playable.

personally, I considered Space Exploration, Krastorio 2 and Industrial Revolution 3 worthy of being a factorio stand alone DLC, playing them for free feel like a crime. respect to anyone who dedicate their time and skill modding factorio no matter how small or big their mod is.

I would laugh so dam hard if this releases and it IS free. XD

Hell, base game is also a mod in the game enigne. So why not just make your own Factorio game while your at it?

[Budmind]

let us know when its finished id love giving a try. Space exploration was so much fun, one of the big reasons i bought the dlc so kudos to you for trying

There's so many of them, these days. It's a whole trend.
Factorio. Satisfactory. Dyson Sphere Program. Shapez/2. What's that cube one, like Minecraft... *checks wishlist* Techtonica! There's Cosmoteer, too. And that one actually IS in space.

Do you mean this mod or a completely different project?

The entire base game is also "just a mod" -- you can theoretically create an entirely new game on top of the Factorio engine.

remember; you promised to release it for free :P

I hope we can consider this thread a legal contract. If he doesn't deliver on Factorio 3.0 for free we'll sue him :D

Quite correct. To make a game on the engine without using the base mod, however, requires that the new mod replace all of the base prototypes which the engine needs to operate and which 'base' supplies. One of the devs even make a mod which can be used to replace the 'required stuff and gives the incompatibility flag for base. It has not, yet, been updated to 2.0 however.

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...

But 2.0 is already done and free? So just use that to base the mod on.

yep 2.0 ia a free update so he only have to create alle the spirits for the planets, mobs, buildings, materials, and make it in severel planets.

it is totalay posible to rebuild the dlc as a mod.
but if you are talentet enough to do it maybe you build something different.
waist severeal years to just copi something that cost 30 bucks sounds not wise.
