Moved to Explosive Excavation Continued
This mod has moved and is no longer updated. Everything now happens here:
**https://mods.factorio.com/mod/explosive_excavation_continued**
The new version has full size icons, works on Factorio 2.1, and is maintained going forward. This page stays up only so people who already have this mod installed can find where it went.
Switching over
Disable or remove this mod, then install Explosive Excavation Continued. The two cannot be enabled at the same time, and the game will tell you if you try.
Your saves are fine. The item and technology are named exactly the same in both mods, and Factorio tracks items by their own name rather than by which mod supplied them, so any blasting charges you have already built stay in your inventory and your research stays completed.
Why the move
The old name has a Factorio version baked into it, and the mod portal has no way to rename a mod, so continuing under a name that says "unofficial for 2.1" meant carrying that forever. A new page was the only way to fix it.
Explosive Excavation was originally written by GotLag, who maintained it from 2016 through Factorio 2.0. This is a continuation of that work, not a replacement for it.
