Factorio Abridged: Factorio for busy people

Gee, these rocket launch instructions sure are complicated! What if we just... skipped a few steps here and there.

• Version 0.0.6
• Initial release: 2023-07-01
• Current release: 2023-07-01

This is an overhaul mod that plays like Factorio, but shorter, in several ways. The tech tree and recipes have been re-designed; I have tried to capture the feel of the original while cutting out anything inessential. Not megabase friendly! Resources, terrain, and enemies have been adjusted, and assorted smaller changes.

I am working on making it fully compatible with SpaceEx, though the results will not be what you expect, and might be buggy. Let me know if there are other overhaul mods you are interested in compatibility with. It is probably best with mods that add post-game content; maybe not so good with mods like IR that are more about extending how long it takes to launch a rocket. Combined with smaller mods that just add a few new items and recipes it may not work the way you want.

I would recommend turning down biters and turning off cliffs unless you are okay with some frustration.

If you decide to try speedrunning this, let me know! I think under an hour shouldn't be too hard...?

Tip: Beacons may appear to be completely useless but they are not.

Known issues

*Localizations of some tech names

*Can't research silo when playing with SpaceEx, among other problems
