Factorio+

##### v.2.8.0 - Factorio 2.1 & Full Space Age support (Leave feedback in discussion/discord for Space Age bugs/balance/settings etc, cheers!)

A native vanilla addition mod that tweaks and adds content on top of the vanilla game experience. Do you like Factorio? Do you want it to feel like it had a bit more stuff? Factorio+ is a mod where it attempts to do just that; extra content made to make the game feel just like the original, but full of new and varied options to play with to give it more zing.

Factorio+ helps make Marathon runs more bearable, 10x or 1000x science - beginner defenses help keep things protected so you're not trapped in the base, and more intermediate technologies help make things progress in smaller increments.

Playing co-op with a few different players where one wants to go out exploring, one fighting and one building a base? This is the mod exactly for that, everyone doing their thing will ultimately help each other. Explorers will find rare resources and abandoned bases to loot, Fighters will help gather potential new loot and items earlier than research - all helping the factory builders research and build new equipment and tech.

*Recommended* - Factorio 2.1 base game (Quality/Recycler and Elevated Rails full support)

*Space age* - Works well alongside it, but the mod originally wasn't *built* with Space age in mind, so there may be some balance issues (which are addressed if found).

*Experienced players* - Recommend looking at mod settings to make make certain elements harder ("Science ingredients = Hard" in particular) . The default settings are aimed towards a newer player trying out their first new mods, so if you want a challenge - a few settings on Hard may be worth considering...

*Newer players* - Settings can be changed to also make the game easier. Reduce the complexity of science ingredients, the spawn rate of enemies and their health. Give a boost to your starting site with extra scrap resources, weaponry and more powerful crash site buildings.

All using new and original art! *THIS IS STRICTLY A NO AI ART/CODE ZONE*

Notable Gameplay Additions (TLDR...)

• Crash site quick start - Crash sites now have a basic power generator, lab and assemblers.
• Turret veterancy - Turrets upgrade all stats with the more kills they get (without being moved or destroyed).
• Abandoned Bases - These old bases seem to be filled with old turrets, power, scrap and potential loot.
• New resources - Options to get the new materials, or the same through different means
• New Weapons and Enemies - The combat is slowed down, to make fights easier to react, especially with all the new stuff to shoot and be attacked by!
• Just loadsa new stuff! - Vehicles, crafting machines, logistics, power, you name it - we got it!

New Stuff in Detail:

Logistics

• Mini Roboport - A small roboport to help connect bases together cheaply.
• Robo Superport - A massive robot hub serving a very large area, with many more charging points.
• Loaders - Direct belt based inserters, which match the input of the belt and doesn't require power. But they are a bit space and resource inefficient.

All belts rebalanced to move at 'frame happy' rates and divisible by 2, and their costs scale a little less:

• Basic belts (8/s) - New simple belts that are cheap to make.
• Belts (16/s)
• Fast belts (32/s)
• Express belts (48/s)
• Turbo belts (54/s) - Faster belts
• Sonic belts (70/s) - Unecessarily Faster belts

Storage

Base storage is a reduced - but new options make it scale much larger. Use multiple loaders and inserters to do fun new logistic sorting and distribution methods using huts and warehouses.

• Storage Huts - 2x2 medium storage.
• Storage Warehouses - 5x5 large storage.
• Strongbox - Tough small 1 stack storage to keep something valuable safe.
• Larger Logistics Storage - Logistics versions of Huts and Warehouses (buffer, provider etc.)

Additional Buildings

Crafting Machines

• Mini Assembling Machine - A small efficient assembler that can only craft with 2 ingredients.
• Basic Electric Furnace - A crude and inefficient electric furnace to get started with.
• High Powered Machine Press - Get 2 for 1 on basic single ingredient components!
• Mini Electric Smelter - A small electric smelter, useful for fast replacing steel furnaces.
• Large Stone Furnace - A bigger version of a stone furnace
• Steel Forge - An even bigger version of a steel furnace, the fastest you'll get without electricity.
• Electric Foundry - A large , slightly productive version of an electric furnace
• Heatpipe Interchange Smelter - Use your nuclear plants to fuel these high tech forges
• Factory - It wouldn't be Factorio without a factory! A huge productive assembling machine, no drinks allowed.
• Compressor - Force certain materials back together with this fella.
• Incinerator - Get rid of unwanted materials, items and ore.

Resources

• Water Wells - Use pumpjacks to bring up water from aquifers
• Natural Gas - Simple fuel, ready to be used as is or processed into petroleum and sulphuric acid.
• Geothermal Steam - Free steam, just lying around, waiting to power your generators!
• Sand - Required for glass, landfill, and late game electronics.
• Bauxite (Aluminium) Ore - Late game ore for more complex items.
• Deadwood (Wood) Fields - Mine trees... using a sawmill!
• Goblin Ore - A tough rich mixed ore containing random amounts of Copper, Iron, Stone and Coal which you'll need to sort through.

Resource Extraction

• Large burner miner - A large and fast miner for the electricity-shy engineer.
• Electric Grinder - A slow, large and very efficient miner capable of getting much more ore out of what is available.
• Steam Powered Turbine Miner - Use steam to power these incredible miners, the hotter it gets, the faster it mines!
• Sawmill - Forget punching trees, mine trees instead.
• Gas Extractor
