Adds more depth, fun challenges and chase goals for factorio addicts, especially in the later stages of the game. Intended to be a high quality vanilla+ experience and the ideal version to megabase on.
Since stone furnaces and Burning Drills aren't required for other things, I think the cost increase early just makes everything pretty slow to get going. Made me want to go afk to wait on stuff to accumulate so I could get enough stuff to mass produce.
I actually revised down the cost of the burner driller a bit over last update (now 8plate + 8gears), i think furnace is reasonable at 12 stone. Might revise down a bit the mk1 assembly and/or look to give more wreckage salvage if reasonably easy to mod. Thanks for the feedback.
