They hired him as a concept artist so who knows.
Just pirate the game if you're poor. Nobody would care
Factorio is getting a paid expansion, and if you have any complaints about it, read this and be humbled

despite their work ethic and ability to capture lightning in a bottle, the devs for factorio can be really bad at having no idea what they're working towards until it just kinda happens organically
they had all kinds of plans for space, campaign, etc. that slowly evolved and changed until it was ultimately scrapped. I bet they have no idea what they're going to do and the only reason they hired that modder is because he's shown proficiency at working on the game already

so everyone, hopes and dreams for expansion? main focus as well as any other side additions you want to see?
for me I want some more lategame tech so there is a use for white science besides the infinite stuff and providing some post game goal with massive factories needed. maybe do the whole space stuff but keep it confined to the one world. so you can launch a rocket and land it 2 million tiles away in a frozen biome or something and start a second factory there. maybe you get access to different kinds of resources in theses areas and the biters have adapted to these climates making new enemy types?

Entitled fucks, simple as. Factorio has been receiving content updates for free for how long now?
And it's only one fucking dev.
Henry Martinez
enh, to be fair it's been receiving updates because it wasn't done yet. 1.0 only came out a few months ago
>And it's only one fucking dev
it was 3 devs from the very start, I think koverax did the majority of the work, but in the past few years they expanded and have a full studio now. factorio made quite a bit of money so they aren't hurting, but a studio of 15 people is expensive to maintain and if you had the choice of no more updates ever or updates every couple years but it costs money, well, I think we all prefer more options
Ryan Bailey
I hope buying base factorio for access to the mods downloads and then pirating the expansions will work.
Sebastian Cox
expansion is like 2 years away at this point. don't even worry about it
Lincoln Butler
considering what amount of content is considered a "big update" in factorio there is no way this "expansion" is going to be worth the asking price.

Are people really this poor?

You have no idea how principles work, right?
