What is this mod for?
This mod adds additional recipes and modifies some old ones to make Factorio recipes more realistic. The aim is to enhance the vanilla game without adding too much complexity. Gold Prospecting is meant to be a fun mini-game to get rich for fun and use the gold to gamble for science packs, hoping it will not be too overpowered as the process required to produce gold requires a large set-up!!
