This is a list of known information about Factorio's "one big expansion pack".

Plans

Q: What?
- A: It is way too early to show any of the plans, and since we want to keep the iterative process of expanding things that prove to be the most fun, the plan is quite loose anyway. [1]
Multiple people, including the modder Earendel were hired to work on the expansion pack. [2]
As of February 2022, development is on step 4 "Connecting systems into a prototype" out of 7 total steps until release. [3]
Friday Facts #367 shows some concept art for the expansion.
It is planned to be "as big an addition as the whole vanilla game." [4]
The planned price is $30.00. [5]
