The expansion is extensively described in the Factorio blog entries. There are a lot of new mechanics there, they tried to avoid having the new planets to be just more of the same. We'll see how well they succeeded.

There are also a lot of Quality of Life changes in the new version.

I’ve read all of the FFFs as they came out. I have a feeling that between space platform constraints, spoilables, and recently revealed heating mechanics, they may have taken the logistics puzzle idea a bit too far for the average player. This is coming from someone who has finished Space Exploration (spaceship victory, not the crazy secret puzzle victory).

Guess I’ll have to wait and see for myself when I have organized my life around another Factorio dive.

Anyone who buys an expansion pack to Factorio is a logistics masochist. And they know it and that’s fine.
