Factorio is an absolute gem of a sandbox game and I love it. It's another game I'm terrible scared to load up as I will lose days to it, this new update has me inching closer to the play button.
This new update adds in new networking features, that especially makes it easier to play with Steam friends. New UI options, mod portal integration, fire that spreads through trees, a flamethrower turret and tons more it's a massive patch.
See the full update notes here.
You can see some of my earlier thoughts on it here.
You can buy it from Steam, Humble Store (Steam key), GOG and directly from their website.
This is one game that's doing Early Access really well. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

It's pretty amazing for the first few playthroughs at the very least, after you understand all the mechanics you reach a point where you can exhaust the tech-tree without breaking a sweat and that's when you start noticing the lack of end-game content or challenge. That's usually when everyone starts using overly complicated mods or starts giving themselves arbitrary goals...
Highly recommended, totally worth the money, just needs a bit more content...

You described what I was thinking as well. I'm really curious to see what they've added, hopefully it alleviates the aforementioned lack of end-game content.
BUT: TOTALLY WORTH IT ALREADY THO!
