I'm looking forward to the launch, I certainly hope there aren't any delays. I have some tentative friend groups who want to get started immediately when it's available.
Does anybody else have a party planned for the launch?
I don't have any other friends that play Factorio. However, I won't be able to experience everything from space age, because I'm currently still a beginner(in my first playthroug currently approaching nuclear power and starting to research everything with purple science packs) and before exploring the new content I want to finish my first play through.
