Short description of this mod(pack):
Take your logistics to the next level with a modular vanillish expansion! This mod introduces a fully customizable system of transport belts that you can adapt to your playstyle, world progression and modpack. Unlock new tiers of belts as you explore new Space Age DLC, and adapt it to your needs.
Logistic boosters:
- 64x64 logistic area; (Editable via settings)
- 96x96 construction area; (Editable via settings)
- 1.5MW max recharge rate for each drone;
- 0 drone slots; (Editable via settings)
- 12 charging stations;
Logistic boosters are a small version of the normal roboport that you know. The difference are the ones described here: they have increased logistic radious and recharge pods and rates, at the cost of a smaller construction area (96x instead of 110x) and no drone slots for storage.
But you can change each one of these 3 variables via startup settings.
They are unlocked on Fulgora.
What's new for the EV modpack:
- To me there are some interesting sweet spots in the Vanilla SA progression that were not covered probably for multiple reasons.
- I aim to fill these gaps and to give you something you can adapt to your playthroughs without needing to request compabitilities.
What can you expect to come on this mod in the next updates:
- 2 additional tiers of transport belts: Mach and Quantum.
- I'm planning to revert an old nerf on construction bots: you'll be able to research them with green science only.
- 2 additional tiers of robots and roboports, divided in multiple structure depending on your needs.
- Steel and tungsten pipes, and their relative underground counterparts.
Modularity & Customization: the Extended Vanilla philosophy
- The modding community increases as the player base does. So in a so crowded game compatibility is the key.
- And since I can't keep up with all the mods that each day get released, updated and changed, I'll let you do that as much as the code lets me do it.
- That's why many key recipe of the mod can be adjusted and modified via the settings tab.
- Ingredients, ratios, results, secondary products: almost all the key recipes can be modified as you like.

The Extended Vanilla Modpack: (Last updated: 24.10.24)
I've been working on updating the pack for the past week thanks to the early access. (Thanks to the Factorio team that let me do so.)
Currently, I have a couple of ideas in my mind, and a name for the "overhaul" - Extended Vanilla: Processing.
It will revolve around intermediates, metal and non-metal processing and general enhancement of Vanilla mechanics.
There will be an impact on the game, but on my vanilla+ philosophy: vanilla textures, "simple" recipe chains that are easy to understand... and a relaxed op late-game to enjoy alone or with friends.
As it has been back in 0.15 there will be a focus on alloys, taking inspiration from both real and phantasy metals and metallurgy.
I'll make this expansion compatible with the mods I think can revolve around these concepts, like Krastorio and Bz that I supported in the past and that I'm open to support once the creators will update them to Factorio 2.0.
A complete list of the mods on which I'm currently working: (Last updated: 24.10.24)
The Extended Vanilla modpack:
- [Extended Vanilla: Processing] - (Working on - early stages.)
Compatibility:
The mod is coded procedurally: implementing new ores is as easy as writing a word, but creating all the textures needed could take some time.
So:
- If you are a mod owner, you can contact me in private on both discord and the factorio forum;
- If you're a fan and want mod compatibility, feel free to ask me.
(DISCLAIMER: I'm more active on discord)
Currently supported in Factorio 2.0: (Last updated: 24.10.24)
- Ev Mining drills: tech three add-ons; (Enable via settings.)
Join the chill vanilla+ enjoyers:
- I'm not really active on the Factorio forum.
- Instead, I daily use discord for multiple reasons, so you can follow me on my discord server if you want.
- There you will find, other than me, many players that enjoy the modpack (and the game). We're both enthusiasts with hundreds of hours into the game and chill players that just started their journey in the game.
- And if you have any suggestion, idea, or just need to report a bug, be sure to do it!
Support:
As a university student balancing my studies and other passions, sometimes it can be challenging for me to determine how much time I should invest in modding Factorio.
While I love creating content, I also have responsibilities and interests outside of gaming, as I think you can imagine.
By supporting my work, you're not only helping me decide how much time to dedicate to improving the mods, but you're also showing the value that my content brings to the community.
Your contributions could have a real impact on my ability to continue developing, and even those around me will see the importance of this creative journey. (They are not into the game and, therefore, can't understand its dynamics.)
If you enjoy what I do, consider paying me a coffee—your support truly makes a difference.
In return, you'll have some perks and boosts on this server, as a dedicated chat for donors and priority on modding ideas (this last one if you achieve the @Steel bros title).
In this sense, special thanks to my donors:
Steel bros:
