Factorio Space Age Update V2 0 15-tenoke May 2026

The "Factorio Space Age Update v2.0.15-TENOKE" represents a specific technical milestone in the massive expansion released on October 21, 2024. This version bridge-fixes the gap between planetary conquest and the core technical stability required to manage a multi-world empire. The Expansion Narrative: From Nauvis to the Stars

What’s New in v2.0.15?

According to Wube Software’s changelog (and verified in the TENOKE crack), here is what changes: Factorio Space Age Update v2 0 15-TENOKE

• Research order: prioritize Orbital Logistics → Spacecraft Engineering II → Asteroid Mining → Orbital Manufacturing. This sequence unlocks improved payloads and access to asteroid resources that speed late-game progression.
• Tenorium/Kelevite handling: set up dedicated asteroid ore smelting lines separate from surface ores to avoid recipe conflicts; use buffer chests and requester chests to isolate processing and prevent throughput starvation.
• TENOKE Core production: cores require multiple rare alloys—use parallel assembly machines and productivity modules; feed cores with a high-throughput inserter train delivering processed alloy plates.
• Modular Thrusters: design rockets with interchangeable thruster slots—build a “thrust bay” blueprint so you can swap modules depending on mission delta-v and return profiles.
• Heat shields: equip Advanced Heat Shields for deep-atmosphere returns; they have limited durability—create reclaim/refurbish loops using orbital robotic modules to extend shield life.
• Orbital Construction Platform use: assemble complex spacecraft components in orbit to bypass heavy-surface pollution and power constraints; when launching parts for orbital assembly, include docking beacons and automated tug drones for precise insertion.
• Satellite Bus v2: use the configurable payload bays to consolidate sensors, miners, and communication relays—this reduces the number of separate satellite launches. Pre-assemble payload modules on the surface and use logistic bots to load buses before launch.
• Space refinery throughput: Space Refinery Mk2 needs stable high-energy input—deploy multiple fusion reactors or dedicated orbital power relays; balance fuel supply chains to avoid mid-run interruptions.
• Automation & launch queues: take advantage of the updated build-queue feedback: create separate production lines per rocket stage and pre-stage all stacks on the launch pad to minimize idle time. Use circuit conditions to only launch when the target inventory and fuel thresholds are met.
• Robotics & maintenance: use Robotic Integration Modules to let repair drones maintain orbital platforms; schedule periodic maintenance windows and store spare parts in orbital depots.
• Performance: building very large orbital factories can impact frame rate—use fewer entities per platform

The Space Age Update also includes numerous gameplay enhancements, including: The "Factorio Space Age Update v2

Rocketry and Launch Systems: Players will have access to new rocketry systems, enabling them to transport resources, personnel, and equipment into space. This opens up new strategies for resource management and expands the scale of factory operations. The Space Age Update also includes numerous gameplay
