Advanced Energy Grid


Vanilla electric poles solve themselves in five minutes. This mod adds a staged pole, substation, and transmission progression — with optional Power Overload integration — so your grid becomes a real part of factory planning.

Version: 0.3.0
Date: 2026.08.24
  Compatibility:
    - Made Space Age an optional dependency, so the mod now loads on base Factorio 2.1.
  Changes:
    - Restricted the big electric pole MK4 and substation MK4 tiers to Space Age, since their recipes need superconductor and quantum processor.
    - Restricted the huge electric pole MK3 and MK4 tiers to Space Age, since their recipes need superconductor, foundation, and quantum processor.
    - Kept every other tier, including medium electric pole MK4, available without Space Age.
    - Gated research that required electromagnetic or cryogenic science on space science instead when Space Age is absent.
    - Stopped registering the Space Age pole tiers with Power Overload when Space Age is absent.
    - Split the single pole row in the crafting menu into a local distribution row holding small poles, medium poles and substations, and a distance transmission row holding big poles and huge poles. Every tier of a family now sits in one row in tier order, starting from its vanilla tier.
    - Moved both pole rows to sit directly after the pipe row in the Logistics tab. The single row they replace sat above belts and inserters.
Version: 0.2.0
Date: 2026.07.25
  Changes:
    - Added Power Overload 2.2.0 registry integration for Advanced Energy Grid pole overload limits and tooltips.
    - Raised the optional Power Overload dependency to version 2.2.0 or newer.
    - Documented the default overload limits for Advanced Energy Grid pole tiers.
Version: 0.1.2
Date: 2026.07.09
  Changes:
    - Changed the packaged mod license from MIT to GNU GPLv3.
    - Updated repository and source documentation to reference GNU GPLv3.
Version: 0.1.1
Date: 2026.07.09
  Changes:
    - Marked the mod compatible with Factorio 2.1 and Space Age 2.1.
    - Updated base and Space Age dependency bounds for Factorio 2.1.
Version: 0.1.0
Date: 2026.07.08
  Changes:
    - Initialized Advanced Energy Grid as the electric-grid split from Advanced Power Infrastructure.
    - Added upgraded small, medium, and big electric pole tiers with aeg_ prototype IDs.
    - Added upgraded substation tiers and local distribution technology branches.
    - Added distance transmission technology branches.
    - Added optional Power Overload huge electric pole MK2-MK4 integration.
