Extended Vanilla: Refining


An overhaul to the Vanilla ore processing while maintaining the style and simplicity of Factorio. Now compatible and balanced around Space Age. (Inspired from Minecraft's Mekanism mod.)

i Compatibility with krastorio 2

3 years ago

I'm just asking if it is a thing or not
because I see after 7 months there is no update.
Thank you for answers

despite the challenges of adding compatibility, would still really like to see at least some basic compatibility with k2
just at least like a simple recipe change that just swaps the copper / iron regular ore for the encriched ores so that both systems interact with each other and i don't have to completely ignore that whole chain

however, this is just a nitpick and a very niche use case. this is a very cool mod, keep it up!

Sure I will. I'm currently working on Brevven's mods.
And Krastorio is on the list.
It'll take some time since I don't know nothing about this pack, I must tell you.

This is a part of the version 2.5.2 patchnotes:

Krastorio2 support:
- The whole ore refinement chains are now balanced around the K2-Ev modpack.
- The Ev crusher in this pack becomes the Ore crusher, a machine specialized in ore processing.
- The ore crusher and the enrichment chamber have now a different recipe.
(The same thing applies to their special components jaw crusher and electrolytic unit.)
- Base ore processing changes: (Ev crusher's recipes)
- The recipe chain takes 12s in total to complete. (From raw ore to plate)
- The total efficiency of the chain is about 56%, 63%, 66%.
(Balanced around the fact that the mod introduces the enriched ore technology in blue science, that has an efficiency of almost 70%.)
- Advanced ore processing changes: (Enrichment chamber's recipes)
- The recipe chain takes 16s to complete.
- The total efficiency of the chain is about 100%, 125%, 150%.
- Ores are splitted into ore clumps and enriched ore, and water is converted into dirty water.
(Have fun with the designs. After all if you play Krastorio you want a deeper level of complexity and realism don't you?)
- Elite ore processing changes: (Purification chamber's recipes)
- The recipe chain takes 24s to complete. (It is a reasonable amount of time for what it gives you.)
- The total efficiency of the chain is about 200%, 225%, 250%.
- Ores are splitted into ore chunks and enriched ore.
- The chunk to clump conversion uses water, so it produces an equal amount of dirty water.
- The ore crusher and enrichment chamber mk2:
- Require Processing units, Energy control units and AI cores.
- Have a base productivity bonus of 10% instead of 5%.
- Can further process enriched ore into ore dust, allowing you to finally reach ore triplication at last.
(In a modpack like this progression must be rewarded.)
- In the next days I'll focus development on steel, rare earths and imersium production and efficiency.

Hope you'll be satisfied at last. :)

When you say "The whole ore refinement chains are now balanced around the K2-Ev modpack", does that apply only when you detect K2, or is this the new balance even when playing without K2?

Only when the two mods are installed and played toghether.
The vanilla game is balanced around a more chill gameplay, mechanics are fewer and recipes are simpler.
With Krastorio 2 I wanted to take advantage of some already introduced features that I really like.
(And I'm playing the pack myself so that this is not a simple "take this random spam of recipes idk if it is impossible to handle", and so far I'm enjoying my work and a mod I never played.)

Btw you're right i need to specify this thing.

thanks for implementing this! will give it a shot on my next k2 playthrough (very soon)

U're welcome! Be sure to stay updated with the latest versions of the mod, as initially I did some mistakes while modifying the recipes.

Is it intentional that advanced steel production is using Ev coke instead of K2 coke? and why is HDPE alloy between production tab and not in intermediate tab

Yeah it is intended, as the ev coke is theoretically richer in carbon than the K2 one, and irl steel is made with coke rich in carbon.
(But if you want I can insert a setting to change that.)
And yes HDPE is intended to be near the only machine that requires it.
