Pooz Space Race

Turn Factorio: Space Age into a space-platform survival game with a repeatable finish-line challenge. Build your industry in orbit, cross the Solar System Edge, and race through the asteroid field to the Shattered Planet. Then improve your ship and try again.

Play solo or with a team

Create a team for yourself or join friends. Each team gets its own home platform and Factorio force, with separate research and platform ownership. The team window manages joining and team access. The normal Add space platform control is hidden; each team starts with its own platform.

Race and leaderboard

The Race button shows active runs and completed results by team and platform. Runs track elapsed time, asteroids destroyed, asteroids per second, average speed, and peak speed. A run starts when a platform leaves the Solar System Edge for the Shattered Planet.

Progress in space

Planets remain as orbital travel points, while their surfaces are inaccessible. Gather materials from asteroid fields, including radioactive asteroids for uranium, organic asteroids for Gleba materials, and salvage asteroids for scrap and components. Corrundum adds an optional orbital asteroid family and access to its recipe progression when installed.

Requirements and compatibility

Requires Factorio 2.1, Space Age, Quality, and Elevated Rails. Corrundum 1.0.49+ and Space Platform Chests (2.1 Fork) 1.1.0+ are optional. The chest fork adds hub chests and a hub unloading bay; it replaces the original chest mod. Pooz Platformer Storage is a separate optional quality-of-life companion.

Pooz Space Race is a modified continuation of Platformer by Corlin and Xiroc. Its platform-only ship and asteroid-survival foundation comes from their work; the repeatable race, leaderboard, and team play are this continuation's new focus. Released under GPLv3. For an existing Platformer save, follow the included SAVE-MIGRATION.md before changing mod IDs.
