TheFactoryMustGrow


TFMG is a total overhaul mod where you play as a superintelligent AI with one purpose: The Factory Must Grow. Encounter novel mechanics designed to put even veteran players to the test. It's time to consider your {PURPOSE, SELF, POTENTIAL}. NOTE: this mod is in active development, expect breaking changes and some rough edges. As this is a total overhaul mod, compatibility with mods that alter gameplay is not guaranteed.

This is said after having beaten the mod for the first time and getting to investigate the prototype of Arrival.

It is a fascinating mod. And the concept is quite interesting. Execution as well.
While my "bootstrap" Factory and science production was likely below what was intended (only using very few furnaces and assemblers) i had automated most machines and droppods successfully,

The heat management system was quite fun. although a issue with the radiators was discovered in that because they use Offshore pump logic for placement it is possible to build space platform scaffolding OVER where the radiator is and completely "encase" a radiator in your platform with zero consequences.

Otherwise. i am excited to see what you add on. I assume some of it will involve adding a proper mining drill to extract "ice" from arrivals and acquisition of oxygen. water. and hydrocarbons.

I wonder if it will eventually involve creating our own race of biters, and extraction of advanced resources from space? like how nullius did it.

Although i suspect you wont try to follow it too closely.

Actually i realize i probably had the intended factory size given the introspection pack is about at red science levels of difficulty...

Still. the mathematical verification system is quite clever. and i am worried to see what calculations will be needed after the first tier....

Yeah, thats annoying me too, I'll likely revise the placement and collision rules for radiators in the future, I just didnt do it know because its too breaking for a minor patch.
