Technology Price Multiplier

by Jobus

Tweak the price of all science research technologies including infinite ones by a global decimal multiplier. For example, a multiplier of 0.5 means technologies cost half as much and thus take half as long time to research.

Could you make a global production multiplier also? 🙂
None of the other mods that do that, are updated.

By "production", do you mean the crafting/mining speed of assembly machines, furnaces, drills, etc?

Yes, and maybe an output multiplier. Like 2 for double output for same ingredients or 0.8 for 20% less etc...

Can't output 0.8 of an item, of course, so that would need some kind of output buffer system to be accurate, which is more effort than I'm willing to put out.

The only simple way I see to do this would be the modify the output count of all the item recipes in the game. That would include any building that the player crafts by hand.

For decimal values, I would have to just round up any decimal to the nearest integer.

For example, with a output multiplier of 0.5:
- A vanilla output of 1 would still give 1.
- A vanilla output of 2 would give 1.
- A vanilla output of 25 would give 13.

Would you want this?

But for the crafting/mining speed stuff - sure, I can make that.

You are right. Without a buffer, fractions makes no sense, but yes, it would be simply rounded... so a simple multiplier should work also.

"https://mods.factorio.com/mod/super-generous-recipes" was a very good mod, that allows various tweaks and a simple global global multiplier.

The production/crafting speed mod is done: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/MachineSpeedMultiplier

I'll use the mod you linked for guidance on adjusting the recipes. Cheers.

Edit: Sorry, took a look at that mod's code and it instantly made me not want to bother with recipes. Far more complex than expected. I'd rather just play the game. 😅 Hopefully that mod will be updated soon.
