I can't wait.

I played it years ago and it was a lot of fun. Recently I've been playing Workers & Resources which has a similar focus on logistics so it'll be fun to go back to the OG.

I am debating whether i should take time off work. Though the release date may still slip by a week or more, i guess.

Pushes back the timeline for AGI by a good 3 months!

Perhaps I'll be finished my K2SE run by then. Probably not.

Lol. But yes, every productivity hack blog article should start with “never install Factorio”.

The only worse offender is Factorio. But it was so worth it.

I started my K2SE run in march and I've come to accept I'm not going to finish by the time Space Age comes out.

If you're wondering whether to get involved in this game, and you've ever suspected you're a little vulnerable to getting addicted, then I'd suggest keeping a very cautious exclusion zone around Factorio.

Alternatively, if you do get ensnared, then installing a mod which allows you to edit and experiment freely might help you "see the matrix" behind the game and dispel the enchantment somewhat.

The jokes about losing days, months, sleep, relationships, and jobs are not always jokes.

If you want to pass the time until October, i would recommend the Ultracube: Age of Cube mod [0]. It does not stretch out the base game with additional tedious steps, instead it gives a big twist to what you knew about factories. Here is a good let's play introduction to the early game: [1]

I mostly just leave it running in the background and tweak as things happen. I don't rush it, but the game has a tendency to try to rush itself on me, thankfully you can make settings changes.
