Just for fun! I know there exist “the correct” pronunciations, but how do you pronounce the words in your inner monologue? :)
Nauvis:
- “Now-vis”
- Closer to “Novice”
Vulcanus:
- “Vulk Anus”
- Like “Tetanus”
Gleba:
- “Gleeba”
- “Glebbah”
- “Glay Bar”
Fulgora:
- “Ful-gore-ah”
- “Ful-guu-rah”
- “Fulger-ah”
Aquilo:
- “Ack-eelo”
- “A qui loh”
- “Ack-willow”
And lastly:
- “Space Age”
- “Spaceage” like “Mileage”

Nauvis: Definitely 2
Vulcanus: Definitely 2, never even crossed my mind on 1. It’s like Venus but it’s a Vulcan.
Gleba: 2
Fulgora: 1
Aquilo: Well I’ve been pronouncing it as a-QUILL-ee-oh this whole time, probably due to the motorcycle brand “Aprilia,” which looks similar to “Aquilo”. I guess I can just drop the 3rd syllable. That makes it option 3 I believe.
Space Age: Of course 1. 2 is just wrong.
TL;DR: 222131
['näʊ̯.wis], [wul.'kɜ̃.nus], ['gle.bɐ], ['ful.gɔ.ɾɐ], ['ä.kʷi.lo], ['speɪs 'eɪ.dʒe]
If speaking them loud I’m probably swapping the [w]'s with [v]'s. Beyond that one could probably guess my native language and even local dialect from that, specially the vowels.
Not good at IPA, but the letter swapping is common in Finland, Sweden and eastern Norway?
The “letter swapping” thing is that I mentally read those names as in Latin, with the sound [w], because they clearly look like Latin words. However since plenty people whine against it I read them aloud with the sound [v].
The “guess my native language” part is about the rest, disregarding the [w] vs. [v] thing. (It’s Portuguese.)
12112 and from now on I will be calling it spaceage.
Slaps roof of factorio. This bad boy has so much spaceage for all the time I’m putting into it.I might actually be pronouncing fulgora 2 despite thinking 1, at least when speaking fast.
Gleba:
“Gleeba” “Glebbah” “Glay Bar”Immediately in my head, this song started playing.
🎵GIRL… I WANNA TAKE YOU TO A GLAY BAR.LET’S START A WAR, START A NUCLEAR WAR
AT THE GLAY BAR, GLAY BAR, GLAY BAR 🎵Oh man, I just got to Gleba. That song is going to loop constantly in my head for my entire time there now.

I feel like if you picked 2 for Spaceage, your the type to pronounce females like tamales, or tomatoes like tomatoes.
C’mon nobody pronounces tomatoes like tomatoes, that’s ridiculous.
3 3 1|2 1|3 2 1
Nauvis is “NAW - vis”, like gnawing and aravice.
Vulcanus is “Vul - CAN - us”, like Vulcan or Vulcanize
Gleba is more fun like “Glee - ba”, but usually ends up being “glebbah”.
Fulgora is “Full - GORE - ah” but I originally misread the name and said “Full - GROW - ah”.
Aquilo is usually “A - QUILL - oh” but I accept arguments to pronounce it like Aquilae.
The DLC is two words: “Space - Age”. Spaceage is whatever is dumped off a platform.
112111, although it used to be 111111 until the trailer. I started saying Glebbah because it sounded so weird, and now it stuck with me.
