Construction Wagon

This mod adds a specialized construction cargo wagon with equipment grid to Factorio, which can be equipped with:
- Roboport for mobile construction and repairs
- Batteries and power sources (solar panels, generators, etc.)


Features:

Wagon with equipments - like armor, but for trains
Mobile roboport - build and repair on the move
Power equipment support - solar panels, accumulators, generators
Dynamic balancing - automatically adapts to any modpack
Compatibility - tested with Pyanodon and other complex modsets


Who is this mod for?

🚂 Logistics enthusiasts - expands train capabilities
🏗 Mega-base builders - construct remote outposts without manual labor
Modpack players - works even with Pyanodon and other complex mods


Balance Mechanics:

📌 Consturction wagon craft cost =
(Base wagon cost + Personal roboport T1 cost) × 2

📌 Consturction wagon roboport craft cost =
Personal roboport T1 cost × 2

📌 Research cost =
Highest values between train technologies and personal roboport technologies

This ensures the mod automatically adapts to any price changes from other mods.

  • Minimum: 15 (same as personal roboport T1)
  • Maximum: 300 (for massive construction projects)

2. Drone Limit

  • Parameter: Construction wagon roboport robot limit
  • Description: How many drones one wagon roboport can support.
  • Values:
