“Love him and let him love you. Do you think anything else really matters?” – James Baldwin
Now updated for Factorio 2.0 and Space Age! Can be added to existing games.
This mod adds lead ore and lead plates to the base game, and optionally lead expansion bolts. Lead is an early game resource. It's meant to make the early game a little more challenging without fundamentally changing it. It also adds small amounts of complexity later in the game. Lead can be mined without fluid and by hand. Smelting lead ore will yield lead plates, with (optionally) copper ore as a byproduct.
Lead is common near the starting area, but does not scale as much with distance as other resources.
If you enjoy vanilla factorio but want something a little bit more complex, try out this mod! See Titanium for a similar mod with more of a "mid game" focus.

Other overhauls that do not add lead as a resource may well be compatible, but I've not checked yet, so be warned.
I also plan to add "thematic" compatibility for smaller non-overhaul mods as I'm able. Suggestions welcome!
