LET'S GO GAMBLING!! Do you like researching technologies? Are you tired of the normal, boring 100% chance of succeeding to research tech, letting you unlock every technology exactly when you want to? Now you can lower that chance with this cursed mod for more 'Spice', 'Whimsy', and 'Variety'!
Here's how it works:
- Every technology has a 13% chance (adjustable in settings) to get cursed instead of being researched
- Cursed tech cannot be researched
- When all other available tech is researched, the cursed technologies will be uncursed, allowing you to try researching them again
Ping me on the Factorio Discord if you launch a rocket using this mod (especially if you did a playthrough with the curse chance really high, or with other challenge mods enabled...I'm curious to see if anyone does anything cool with my mod.)
Also: please ping me if it breaks; really hope it doesn't but
(It will crash if you try to force-research a tech that's cursed, so don't do that lol.)
This is my first Factorio mod!! Thanks to the Factorio Discord's modding channels for helping me figure out how to realize this cursed idea (esp. BraveCaperCat, PennyJim, and Fgardt), and thanks to my lab rats--I mean friends--7holyrings and Toby for playtesting! Their feedback was invaluable for morale and polish.
