... the current goal is to release the whole map with story and custom content by next year for around 7.50$

is that possible with factorio's TOS? Just wondering

[badtouchatr]

Do you even have the discord anymore? All of the posted links have expired, and I can't even find you by using "MAelstrom#6959"

Just wondering how serious you are about working on this project.

Project is essentially on pause for the time being as I have to work during the summer. Its not dead, just really slow progress for the foreseeable future as I have way more important things to prioritize. I wish I could work more on this but everyone involved is really busy atm so none of us can really work on it.

Also waiting to see how the base game evolves as there are going to be some hard coded limits that will be present in the future that arent there atm. I have insider info but essentially expect this project to be on life support for the next 6 to 12 months depending on how things go. I might have some free time to work a bit on it over the summer but covid is making it really hard to get a hold of a steady job. Got laid off 4 times in the past month from various jobs due to the businesses not being able to afford me due to lower profits as of late. Pair that with me going back to college in fall as its finally going to be back to ''normal'' and yeahhhh... If I could live off of this project I would work on it 24/7 but sadly society has other plans for me :/

So quick update: Got a 5th job in the last month, turns out college experience doesn't guarantee job security. Having struggled to get a decent job in order to make money means I can't realistically work on this project until then. Its rough out there but hey, at least this project is gonna eventually work out once I can hire a competent programmer so we can program RNG ruins and landscape...

I wish I could work on the project right now but with parents pressuring me to find stability during a pandemic vs balancing pet projects is far from the easiest thing to do.

TDLR; more of the same moot news.

Space Exploration is merging with this project. The map has been ditched but our scope is now much bigger. I am not working on this alone anymore, I am working with Earendel and King Jo plus another couple of people. We are now under the same banner regarding this project!

The merge with Earendel has been in the works for months but its pretty much official at this point. We both feel very comfortable with that decision

lol wtf? the map is gone? merging with SE? don't like it so far, even though there's no info

nvm, Earendel provided reassurance

[Earendel]

Space Exploration is not merging into to Nauvis Post Collapse. That's a bit misleading.

Space Exploration will continue to be a free and standalone mod.

The new project will incorporate and build on Space Exploration, in particular this new project will focus on procedural content generation, lore, and fleshing out a larger world and universe.

What is the status here for now?

Is there anything we can try out for now? This seems like the best mod out there! The only thing i miss from Factorio, is any point and reason to actually go explore. And this mod has LOADS of stuff to find and explore!

[lilstrip]

On pause for now sadly, we are all studying and focusing on that but its not abandoned, just think of it as a bad timing sort of thing. Things in Ukraine are also probably not going to help in the long run for reasons that you might have seen here: https://factorio.com/blog/post/we-support-ukraine... All in all, don't expect this to be done any time soon xD

The good news is that almost all the brain storming is done, we know what has to be done and how we can achieve it to some extant but its not the best time to work on it, nor do we have sufficient free time to do so. Its sad to say but don't hold your breath, this will eventually come out but only when its done. I think I also removed the option to fund the project through patreon since that would be taking people's money for something that they might not see for a long time. You can still support the project for what was already put out there but for now the project will be lead like a small business would and that is through profits generated by sales.

Also there are a lot of legal documents I will have to take care of before this can be fully official and Kovarex has yet to answer back regarding intellectual property and other stuff like that since he has quite a lot on his hands.

Finally we also decided to completely ditch the map that was made in the next iteration of the project and opt for entirely new map generation system. Not only will it be better than what I made, itll be random and also have gameplay aspects tied to the randomness. We also think it could be possible to work on cool features similar to the NPC villagers in minecraft but that is down the line.

So yeah, sorry if this is in a limbo state but we all have our lives and we need a safety net in case this doesn't bring as much money as we thought it would. We are all in our 20s, we aren't millionaires so we have to work and study first, then when theres some free time we can explore new ventures like this one

I hope this answers all your questions

We have a discord server so if you want to ask questions there. I am on almost everyday so if you want to ask questions directly like a couple of people do already its super fun, especially if you have ideas of your own that you would like to share!

originally i didnt want to sound this condesending but i just cant help myself:

if your ability to create unlimited and never expiring discord link is anything go by, ..... Its literary TWO CLICKS and yet all 4! invite links i found are dead.

ok. sorry i got it from my system. but seriously, this is ridiculous. I have found nauvis post colapse version 1 about a year ago. Now when i am finishing my space exploration save i revisited my "future factorio idea bin" and found this so i went to check it out and i was ecstatic to find out you are getting together with space exploration mod. Well i guess i will come back in another year or something.

here fixed it, had the wrong link for some reason
