Let transport drones drive on the roads you already build with: the full Asphalt Roads set, PyIndustry's py-asphalt, water-ford's cobblestone ford and path — and asphalt in space. Wooden crossings stay foot-traffic-only by design.
Mods introducing new content into the game.
Version: 0.2.2
Date: 21. 10. 2026
Features:
- Added water-ford as an optional dependency (>= 1.1.0): the cobblestone ford and cobblestone
path join the transport-drone road set via is_road_tile. The wooden crossings intentionally
stay player-only (unregistered; their water-tile layer blocks drones).
- New data-final-fixes normalisation: Transport_Drones' road processing overwrites road items'
place_as_tile with a non-inverted condition ("may not be placed on water") — restored the
cobblestone ford's water-only bridging rule; and road_network's load-path rebuild admits
tiles only with a road-exact collision mask — normalised the cobblestone ford tile after
water-ford's final-fixes stamps (verified by the ford-smoke depot-matrix cases).
Version: 0.2.1
Date: 21. 10. 2026
Bugfixes:
Raised the optional pyindustry floor to >= 3.1.6 — the Factorio 2.1 release verified to ship
the py-asphalt item/tile this mod integrates with (zip-inspected); the old 1.5.4 floor predates
the Factorio 2.1 line and could never load alongside it.
Version: 0.2.0
Date: 21. 10. 2026
Features:
- Updated for Factorio 2.1.
Changed dependencies to the official Transport Drones 2.1 line (Transport_Drones >= 2.1.4),
which restores modded road-surface support upstream, replacing the drdozer fork
(now retired). Dropped the Meglinge-fork conflict (that line is retired).
Raised the optional AsphaltRoadsPatched floor to >= 1.5.0 (the Factorio 2.1 line, as used
by civtorio); the old 1.4.x line is Factorio 2.0 only.
Version: 0.1.7
Date: 30. 09. 2025
Bugfixes:
Changed dependencies to use my forked version of transport drones as it contains a patch that
renabeles modded road surfafces.
