Factorio 2.0: Quality & Space Logistics

Factorio 2.0: The Quest for Perfection

In the 2026 meta, **Factorio 2.0** and the **Space Age** expansion have redefined the scale of automation. The introduction of Quality Tiers and interplanetary logistics has shifted the focus from simple quantity to optimized, high-fidelity production loops.

The Quality Loop: Maximizing Performance

Higher quality doesn't just look better—it has functional benefits:

• Legendary Assemblers: Craft significantly faster and consume less power.
• Legendary Modules: Provide massive percentage bonuses compared to their normal counterparts.
• Legendary Turrets: Have increased firing range and damage, essential for defending against high-evolution biters on Vulcanus.

Interplanetary Pipelines

Space Age introduces the complex task of moving resources between planets using the Space Platform.

• Bulk Transfer: Use Cargo Landing Pads to move thousands of items per minute.
• Fluid Rocketry: Specialized rockets are now available for transporting massive quantities of Sulfuric Acid or Heavy Oil into orbit.
• Logic Control: Use the 2.0 "Selector Combinator" to filter interplanetary requests based on planetary resource shortages.

Factorio 2.0 Technical Optimizations

The 2.0 update brought revolutionary multithreading to the core engine.

• Belt Parallelization: Transport belts now utilize multiple CPU cores, allowing for bases with millions of active belt segments.
• Lua 2.0 Integration: Mod performance has been boosted by 20%, making high-complexity mods like Space Exploration or Krastorio 2 much more viable on dedicated servers.

⚠️ Server UPS Management

Quality calculations add a minor overhead to every item on a belt. For mega-bases, we recommend using legendary quality **Insurers** to keep item counts low while maintaining high throughput.
