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: Design plant layouts around planetary heating and fluid requirements.
