Yep will not play without this, I like having a push pull back and forth with the different gameplay loops like biters and progressively growing the factorio as new technology provides a new power level to abuse.
But without the back and forth factorio can so quickly become a copy paste sim.
Please keep making great mods that attention hack midwits like me to enjoy the parts of the game which are just glossed over in the name of gameplay accessibility.
Electricity is such an underutilized way to balance all the cool overpowered builds.
My dream is to take this a step further with heat propagation that reduces steam power density (without the mess of it turning into other fluids until good gameplay for dealing with this exists in the base game). But more broadly making factory layout and green play less ignored in the medium term - we would not want our steam engines short circuiting things with their pollution or affecting the production of things etc.
This is quite a tangent from appreciating but I cannot help how alive and electric this mod makes me feel !!!
