## Summary

Factorio has released version 2.1 on its stable branch, which Wube Software describes as the game’s final major update. It adds more than 30 quality of life improvements and small features, including changes originally planned for version 2.0 but left out for lack of time.

The update lets rockets carry mixed cargo, makes asteroid damage more predictable and allows land mines to act as tripwires or enemy detectors. Players can also disable the Quality mechanic in the Space Age expansion, flip pumpjacks and burner miners, and see refreshed graphics and models. Wube says it will continue providing bug fixes and support updates while turning to other game prototypes and experiments.
