Version-aware coverage — reviewed October 27, 2026. Factorio 2.1 became stable on October 23, 2026 and focuses on improvements rather than new planets. Space Age is a separate expansion: orbital platforms, quality tiers, Vulcanus, Fulgora, Gleba and Aquilo require that DLC. We do not invent precise recipe rates, map seeds or live balance statistics.
Practical advice: Set up and monitor local electrical infrastructure around the planet’s lightning environment. Provide storage or backup where appropriate.

01

How it works

Turn salvage into advanced science with controlled multi-output processing. Each stage in the walkthrough below has a distinct practical objective; complete the current supply or control loop before expanding it.

02

Practical advice

Set up and monitor local electrical infrastructure around the planet’s lightning environment. Provide storage or backup where appropriate.

03

Mistakes to avoid

Never assume an unrelated blueprint or another version of Factorio has identical recipes, technology unlocks or machine ratios. Use the checkpoints in this guide to diagnose your own save.

ORIGINAL VOLPEDIA FIELD GUIDE

Fulgora scrap and recycling: complete walkthrough

01

Make lightning power dependable

Set up and monitor local electrical infrastructure around the planet’s lightning environment. Provide storage or backup where appropriate.

02

Mine and recycle scrap

Process scrap to recover a mixture of useful materials rather than a single ore-like output. Watch all outputs while the system runs.

03

Route byproducts deliberately

Separate valuable ingredients, unwanted excess and recyclable loops. A filled buffer can stop the scrap line even if holmium is badly needed.

04

Develop electromagnetic production

Use recovered resources and holmium-related chains for advanced electronics, electromagnetic plants and research.

05

Export science regularly

Move researched products off-world through stable platforms and verify that inventory requests cannot clog the landing/launch system.
