- Perfectionists: The DLC forces you to let things spoil or back up. You cannot perfectly balance Gleba. Learn to embrace chaos.

The Short Version:
If you have never played Factorio, stop reading and buy the base game. It is a masterpiece. If you have played Factorio to the point of launching a rocket and thought, "I wish this went further," the Space Age DLC turns a 60-hour game into a 300-hour interplanetary epic.
The Space Age DLC offers several benefits to players, including:
- Use bus or main-trunk layouts for mid- to late-game throughput.
- Buffer with storage chests and inserter-managed queues before critical assemblers.
- Isolate high-temperature or hazardous processes into separate zones.
