FAQ

Q: Is this a mod of excellent quality?
A: It seems all right! This is my first Factorio mod, but I have recently improved on it to avoid any potential issues. From the beginning, it's a very simple mod, and it seems to have worked well so far.

Q: Are you going to expand on the mod, like by adding configuration settings to other structures?
A: No plans right now. It may be better to just keep it simple like this, for the sake of fewer potential compatibility issues and not having more settings than the user actually cares about. I might make other mods to complement it instead.

Q: How compatible is this mod with similar mods?
A: Well, if there are more mods changing the same values, it would seem that the last one loaded (this happens in alphabetical order) will override the values of the rest. This should not cause any kind of crash, but some of the settings may not work. However, the game also allows a piece of code to be loaded in any of 3 'stages', meaning that mods often have the opportunity to modify or override others when necessary. Since v.0.3.1, this mod loads prototype changes at the last stage, so it is likely to get 'the final say'. Given the small scope of the mod and the fact that it explicitly declares the value of the energy parameters, this seems like a reasonable enough solution to me.

Solar Productivity will reset energy parameters for the Solar Panel before changing them with tech unlocks, so this mod has been marked as incompatible.

Q: How do I use this mod?
A: You can change values under the "Startup" tab in Mod Settings.
