Been playing Nintendo since I could remember. That's like everyone else's story.

However, I took a break. 1st kid was born and I wanted to focus on them. 5 years, no gaming... But Factorio... You see, that's where the trouble began to grow. That factory. That damned factory.

edit: fellow engineers, check the FFF blog, they've released news of the expansion!

I've only played around 1500 hours of Factorio. Since I'm still a noob, can you give me some sites where I can read about expansion content?

I have the same issue. Too many kids. Haven't really gamed in years. The only game that I got that was over 10 bucks in recent years was Doom Eternal. Other than that I usually play D2 mods or emulate. I really wish I could get into Factorio, but that game never goes on sale.

Also stopped gaming when I got kids. But then I got the steam deck. Now i manage to game q#2 hours a day

Been saving up money for a deck. Figured I would get one by middle of next year.

It literally won't go on sale. The devs are on record saying so.

Ya I saw. Weird stance to take. Honestly the base game isn't bad. Rimworld takes that to a new level. Not only does it not go on sale, but the DLC is way over priced for things that should arguably be already in base game.
