removing a free mod and make it paid DLC is hillarious

[XITUS]

so you literally turned a free mod into a pay DLC ? this is a joke right ?

[Khaylain]

But that didn't happen.

It is indeed a joke. Whoever told you that was having a gag at your expense.

Because it has not been updated to factorio 2.0. When you want to play it, you have to downgrade factorio to 1.1

field: Factorio version

For the same reason that Bob's and Angel's mods aren't playable anymore. They haven't been upgraded. And btw, you don't *have* to upgrade to 2.0 if you'd prefer the old mods.

In fact the devs made that mode and the dlc born from that idea

Minor issues with sequencing here.
The devs made the idea, very early in development. Development was, however too large at the time, so the idea was postponed.
The maker of the mod used the general idea of going to space to make the mod.
The devs decided to make the expansion, finally adding in the space element they wanted.
They seemed to like the work the guy did when he made the mod.
The devs hired him to work on the expansion.

The mod was not made by a developer, when it was made.
The expansion was not born from the ideas in that mod.

But it is. In 1.1.110. Which everyone still has access to. Earendel is also allegedly working on updating Space Exploration to 2.x, same as a lot of other overhaul mods are working on updating their mods to support 2.x.
That's just how things work when one makes an update to the major version of a piece of software, see https://semver.org/

I remember a time when having a dev implement your mod into the game was a badge of honor.

I think you are forgetting the part where they never asked OP for permission.

Don't give the troll clown points, just mock it, block it, and move on.

Space Age is awesome. I can't believe how many people are complaining about it given that the game has been entirely "pay once play lots" since day 1... It's literally 8 years since I bought it in Early Access and Space Age has made it SO much better for the same 1-time fee. I will insta-buy the next expansion in 6-7 years just like this one and I can't imagine any real Factorio player not doing same.
