This mod adds new science packs (data cards) to the game for each of the new sciences in Space Age. I felt as though the new science packs were too cheap and easy to make. I wanted the packs to use more of the planets' specific unlocks but didn't want to give them to the player early.

The original science packs are unlocked normally. Then the items which you need to create the new science packs are unlocked with just that science pack! Then, each of the new science packs is used to make data which is used in the other technologies. There is a mod option to disable the usage of K2-style data cards.

This is a work in progress and my very first work in Lua, so expect incompatibilities with any mod that significantly alters the tech tree. Codegreen's "Any Planet Start" mod is an exception, I checked for compatibility with that.

All graphics are placeholders and I hope to improve them after I work on the mod's code.

Thank you to Krastor for deciding to make Krastorio 2's assets free and open source, and thank you to members of the Factorio discord that helped me start to learn how to mod this game.
