Factorio is a game about building and automating, but it's also all about defending from vicious aliens and the new lot coming in Factorio: Space Age look like the stuff of nightmares.
The developers have been showing off some of the new planets coming with the expansion that's due in October, and one planet they've been highlighting recently is Gleba. Originally known internally as the "biological planet", it looks a whole lot more alive than other planets. In fact, it looks really gross and vibrant and I can't wait to explore and cover it with belts.
In the latest developer diary, the team showed off some of the horrors that will await you on planet Gleba. And uh, you're going to need some firepower to deal with them. Based on "distant relatives of starfish or seastars", you'll be facing off against small and rather large 5-legged Pentapods.
Since Factorio will have multiple planets in the expansion, the developers are doing some interesting balancing work on the enemies here. As you might face them late in the game when you're fully equipped, or you might go in a bit under-prepared depending on where you expand. Thankfully, these new beasties won't seek you out right away to devour you, instead mainly focusing on protecting their nests or nearby allies. As the developer said they are "fairly passive" but "If you do fight them and win then they will evolve".

I no longer remember what I did to get where I am, but it all seems to
work, so I won't argue.

Quoting: TcheyI almost want this game, without the Factory elements, just exploration, some simple base building maybe, and RPG-action stuff
Yeah like a mix Dwarf Fortress exploration mode or something.
Quoting: TheRiddickChill my dudes, I just want to convert your planet into a CAPITALISM!
It's centraly planed (by you) without free market. so i don't think capitalism is right word to describe it.
I don't think we can use words as capitalism or socialism where there is just one person. With multiplayer it's more like socialism with sharing all resources between all players…

I meant more in terms of converting planet into profit.

So when you are in woods collect mushrooms for your consumption or cooking in your kitchen, you do it for profit? Yes in large definition you do it for profit, but if you call it capitalism, then everithink is capitalism and word capitalism lost meaning.
You transform planet in any system. Just look what comunists did in ussr or czechoslovakia…

In the game you literally are converting the entire biome of the planet to a giant factory for production. Since when does profit exclusively mean currency?

But converting biome into giant factory is not exclusive for capitalism (just look what communists did). And also, there are capitalistic incentives not converting everything.
Converting biome of planet into factory is what humanity do. Regardles of system.
