Mining Drones improved Tech

by AivanF

I love Mining Drones mod, but the original recipe looks too imbalanced: it requires nothing but raw iron! No need to place miners & belts almost for free, with even no electricity usage! This mod fixes the balance by: 1. Adding a technology needed to be researched before you can create mining drones and depot. 2. Making the recipe harder yet customizable with startup settings. DEPRECATED: Consider updating to Mining Drones 2.0 Remastered

Consider upgrading to Mining Drones 2.0 Remastered which has all the same features and way much more!

This mod fixes the balance

  1. Adding a technology needed to be researched before you can create mining drones and depot.
  2. Making the recipe harder yet customizable with startup settings: besides iron, gears and sticks, you can add steel, green/red/blue circuits, heat/electric engine, battery. Required technologies & science packs will be adjusted by the settings you picked.
  3. Also, in case you're crazy, there are additional settings to disable Burner and/or Electric Mining Drills.

Since now, creating mining drones feels like a desired reward! ^_^

Note that my mod is not a fork of Klonan's Mining Drones mod, instead it's a patch for original one, so that it can be installed together with other non-fork mods.

Marketing!

To protect and expand your factory, I suggest using rifles from another my mod :)
