After some of the suggestions I've seen under FFF#266 by people who agree with the removal of boiler thermodynamic efficiency, mining hardness, hand tools, ingredient count limits, and damage types, this mod should be REALLY popular. (I'm not holding my breath because I'm pretty sure half of those don't actually play Factorio and the other half are joking. This is based on a comparison of download numbers for pre-0.17 mods which simplify these things vs. ones which complicate them, and the latter are far more popular, especially when it comes to axes!)
