I need to come up with a mod that uses these plates for something other than just chests. Like the chests are nice it really adds diversity since I think the limit of three chests are a bit meh. However it does seem quite odd having materials that are just used in the crafting of chests. We need to add a recycler in this new mod as well to potentially allow for the input of x resources and the output of a scrap like substance.
Here are my current issues.
I cant do pixel art for Factorio. I use to mod Minecraft so my art is going to look minecrafty.
Solutions -- Make everything look like minecraft XD yeah no or fiver everything and even possibly assume people dont care since its a mod and items are going to look a little janky. (need to come back to this)
What would I possibly bring to the table that factorio doesnt already have that can utilize these materials while minimally creating other materials
Well people like lasers and with the nerf I was told about we could have the crystal or diamond plates act as a sort of "focus" though these types of mods may be overdone :/ Hmm. Okay heres one unless Space age has this covered. ore to dust dust to double plates everyone likes that. At the same point this may lead to people wanting some crazy complex multitiered crafting thing that allows for 5x ore or something.
There is also the Applied Energistics system that we could create however this may be a bit above my head.
I think the question really here is this. What makes factorio fun?
Progression and the ability to strive towards a continuing goal. The ability to autocraft anything, and the ability to store all that stuff in an area so you dont have to worry about it.
Food for thought, a system that isnt really AE2 or some other crazy contraption but a system that looks across all yellow chests or ICStroage "Yellow Chests" and allows them to be accessed from one terminal.
This isnt enough to make a mod though.. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Additionally feel free again to use this mod as a base for other mods. The plate issue continues!
