Merges W2 with SE + K2: sometimes you will get teleported onto planets from Space Exploration universe!
Balance
Honestly, I'm not sure it's possible to win this game, probably Warptorio goes too much against Space Exploration with its cross-planet logistics and space bases... But you can consider this mod as a fun experiment 😁 Let me know what you can achieve here!
The mod includes many balance fixes to make it playable:
- Adjusted Warptorio default settings: warp platform produces less pollution, and Warptorio doesn't set enemies spawn settings to high values. If you wanna have more challenging gameplay, feel free to change these values
:) - Robust costs of Warptorio tech researches. Not finished yet for the mid/late-game.
- Helpful start items to speedup the early game.
- Cheaper Factorissimo buildings.
Settings
The mod provides several map/runtime settings:
- SE universe probability – chance that the Warp Platform will get teleported in Space Exploration universe. Default value is 80%.
- Nauvis solar system probability – chance that the Warp Platform will get teleported in the home solar system of Nauvis planet. Note that this probability is calculated after the previous one, SE chance. Default value is 80%.
- Game start help items toggle – Your journey is hard! There is some helpful things for you like modular armor, guns, robots and their improvements researches, to boost the early game.
- SE / K2 ores probability – chance to meet a resource from Space Exploration or Krastorio on Warptorio planets. Default value is 15%.
Recommended mods
These mods help you to get more out of small space, which is really needed for many large buildings of Krastorio and Space Exploration:
- Famous Factorissimo that allows to create buildings with floors! Especially Space Factorissimo that provides floors with space building allowed. Note that it's based on fork of notnotmelon's fork of Factorissimo: Factorissimo2 surface API fix.
- Items memory storage and Fluid memory storage – store infinite amount of things for the price of energy.
- Larger mining: Mining Drones 2 and Omega Drill SE, to collect ores without placemnet of many drills and belts.
Structures & loot:
- Abandoned Ruins and its Krastorio addon.
Other helpful mods:
- Reverse Factory to get use of old or looted things.
- Better Long Inserters to make compact and performant layouts.
- No Wall Repair.
- Crafting Speed Research.
UI & comsetic changes:
Plans
- Separate Warptorio and Space Exploration ages.
- Warp Platform automation with SE spaceship signals.
- Allow space buildings be placed on the Warp Platform?
- More interesting loot and ruins.
- Maybe integrate Informatron?
Feel free to share your experience and suggestions!
Technical Advices
Some mods provide buildings that are complex structures made of invisible entities, and they are not ready to be teleported (actually cloned and removed) by Warptorio as it breaks internal behaviour of those mods and leaves you with invisible obstacles you can't remove. The list of such entities includes but not limited by the following things: Krastorio Shelter, Rocket Silo, Rocket Landing Pad, generators from most of wind turbines mods, etc. BTW, I'm surprised, but seems like Factorissimo buildings get teleported correctly!
WARNING
This mod is an early version, more like an experiment. It's still playable, but the balance may be bad, and there are many things to add and to fix. However, for now, I don't plan to work on it, because of the following reasons:
- I doubt that all of SE, K2 and W2 will be soon updated for the Factorio 2.
- I have limited time for modding, and prefer to spend my workforce for WH40k Titans.
