Here it is! (beep boop)

https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-406

The first few seconds of the last music file gives me heavy simcity 4 vibes, specifically some rush hour expansion tracks. I REALLY like it.

I think either "gridlock" or "bumper to bumper"

It's so close to release now!

Almost a year since this was announced to be released in a year, and I can for sure say I've been waiting eagerly.

I haven't touched factorio for about 2 years and hope to come in with fresh eyes.

Good luck with the final touches, Wube!

Only listened to the "space" music so far, but I really love it! Fits so well with the feeling of floating/moving through space.

Edit: I've now listened to the whole set of them, and I am so buying the soundtrack along with the expansion as soon as it releases!

i bet that last music is from Aquilo, sounds like rain Will we have floods?

How about making an in-game director which is able to tell the audio engine which music should be played when and where? Many games already do so, and it's pretty natural. One of the best examples for so is Red Alert 3 which can – just by music – tell you that your forces have engaged the enemy.

Please but is on spotify or something! Wanna listen to it till release.

It makes me think of puzzle pieces sliding around.

Very nice.
I liked the themes and thought they were very fitting, but the music on Fulgora is too loaded, my brain went into stress mode listening to it... i think it's good for an intro, but as a constant background music, i don't know...

The first undiscovered planet theme sounds like some jumping frogs. May be a swamp with new jumping biters.
The second sounds aerial. My guess is something like flying islands from Avatar.

I think the important question is, does Petr play Factorio? Feels like maybe so.

So missile turrets... and something swinging in the lava?

Allso great music

Those tracks are incredible. Gave me the shivers! Can't wait to hear the final performance.

so cool! getting lotr vibes on those orchestra parts in space and vulcanus

I agree. I think it's because of the electrical sparking. It would be better if this sound was smoother.

I sure hope that jumping from planet to planet in the Map View will not hurt the music too badly by constantly switching environments.


Also that is one big frikkin Asteroid. How are you supposed to defend against those, the ton of Gun Turrets was clearly not enough!

Very cool! I like the music and the detailed look at some beautiful factories. That massive asteroid smashing into the space platform is fun to watch!

i'm very much loving all of these, especially how well they convey the vibe of each environment. my only real criticism is that Fulgora's music, while good in itself, kinda feels too.. techno-y? and could do with maybe being slowed down a bit; the clearer rhythm feels more like combat music than building music, and building is the thing you probably do the most in Factorio

my personal favourite is definitely the undisclosed mystery planet track; the beginning of which btw gives me big Jokzi Ozo vibes; for those who have played corru.observer

also i do hope there's some kinda smooth transition between planets and such in the music. would've loved to see a true dynamic music implementation too, but that's an understandable omission considering how much extra work it'd be both to compose and to implement in the engine

The first unknown planet feels to me like a mushroom biome from a terraria. The second as a planet covered in fog, maybe with a coloured aurora above it. So I wonder how well I guessed it

Ah nice.

The Vulcanus one is like "You were my brother Anakin, I loved you!"
Or at least I expect them to have their duel somewhere along the lava shores.

Full orchestral for a factory builder is kinda a bit unexpected. Maybe a bit too overly dramatic, but maybe that is just me. ^^

I like the Fulgora one, fits the ancient techno-chaos theme.
