Changelog
Version: 2.0.0
Date: 2025-06-15
Info:
- Rewritten for Factorio 2.0
- Most obviously, update the code so it even loads.
- Lumberyards and Electric Lumberyards are both available much earlier. Lumberyards immediately with a cheap research, Electic Lumberyard after Automation research.
- Rationale being these are most needed before other tree-clearing methods are available like grenades or bots, or in more wood-focused modded playthroughs before most Greenhouses come online for automated wood production.
- Lumberyard and Electric Lumberyard recipes are slightly cheaper
- Provides 4 wood per cycle rather than 5, same as mining most tree entities
- Lumberyard chopping radius slightly reduced from 20 to 16.
- Electric Lumberyard chopping radius significantly increased from 20 to 32, while also processing wood twice as fast
- Scripts almost completely redone
- All logic is contained in control.lua. No more separate helper and config scripts.
- Switch to on_nth_tick handler that iterates through registered lumberjack entities every 10 seconds.
- Side effect is all lumberjack entities will chop wood in sync with each other. Trees will also not be chopped in a random order. Probably fixable, but I don't see it as a significant enough issue to bother.
- This is the first time I've written any significant Lua code. Everything seems to work in my testing, but there might very well be bugs!
