Factorio+

beta 1.4.99

A native vanilla addition mod that tweaks and adds content on top of the default game experience.

• WARNING - Not Space Age compatible

This is a holistic mod where all the additions work with each other to make the vanilla game more interesting and varied.

This is to work with the original base game, adding more options and tweaks in the following areas:

Gameplay Additions

• Crash site quick start - Crash sites now have a basic power generator, lab and assemblers.
• Turret veterancy - Turrets upgrade all stats with the more kills they get without being moved.

Logistics

• Mini Roboport - A small roboport to help connect bases together cheaply.
• Robo Superport - A massive robot hub serving a very large area, with many more charging points.
• Loaders - Direct belt based inserters, which match the input of the belt and doesn't require power. But they are a bit space inefficient.

All belts rebalanced to move at frame happy rates and divisible by 2, and their costs scale a little lower.
- Basic belts (8/s)
- Belts (16/s)
- Fast belts (32/s)
- Express belts (48/s)
- Turbo belts (54/s)
- Sonic belts (70/s)

Additional Buildings

Power

• Shotgun Turret - Its a shotgun on a turret.
• Rocket Turret - Its a rocket launcher with electronics inside.
• Cannon Turret - Use your tank cannons as base defence
• Mortar Turret - Mid game artillery option, good for harassing static enemies.
• Sniper Turret - Shoot things far away in a thin arc to create deadly corridors.
• Chaingun Turret - Spray and pray in turret form.
• Gauss Cannon - A Laser turrets more powerful, and explosive cousin.

Fuel

• Fuel has distinct efficiencies, some are good for powering smelting, others have longevity or high density, others are better for vehicles and/or trains.
• Jet fuel (old rocket fuel)
• Rocket Fuel
• Petroleum
• Natural Gas
• Charcoal

Weapons

• Railgun
• Hand Cannon
• Mortar
• Sniper Rifle
• Minigun
• Plasma Rifle
• FLAK grenades - Fill a grenade full of piercing ammo and blast it out in a big radius
• SPAM grenades - A cluster grenade filled with cluster grenades.

Ammo

• Explosive Shotgun/Magazine
• Nuke Shotgun/Magazine/Cannon Shells
• Depleted Uranium Shotgun Shells/Cannon shells
• Piercing Shotgun Shells/ Cannon Rounds
• Micro Missiles
• Explosive rounds have larger explosive radii

Tech

• Advanced tools - Multiple stages of tech that help increase your reach size, pickup size, crafting and mining speed.

Terrain Tiles

• Landfill - Only fills in shallow water (but it's cheaper)
• Deepwater Fill - Fills in deep water
• Placeable Shallow Water
• Tarmac - Speed bonuses for vehicles!

Enemies

• Boss Biters - Very rare and mega sized biters to help send you into that rocket sooner.
• Enemies reworked to be bigger and are coloured to their archetype.
• Swarmer Biters - They're small and there's lots of them, getting all up in your everywhere.
• Blaster Biters - These biters will explode if they get close enough to trigger themselves. Killing them reduces their radius and damage on death.
• Meaty Chunks - Dropped from evolved enemies and spawners: Allowing you to research new bio tech.
• Acid worms - Scale larger and stronger than before, but they do have a minimum firing range.

Bio Tech

• Use meaty-chunks, wood and water to create bio science packs.
• Upgrade your player's health and speed through research.
• Bio Fuel - Questionable and eco-friendly (depending on who you ask).
• Air purifier - Work against your pollution spewing ways with these powered filters
• Health packs
• Healing Grenades

New Intermediate Items

• Vehicle Chassis
  All vehicles now use this as a base
• Laser
  All recipes using lasers now use this
• Turret Base
  All turrets use this as a base

Base Game Changes

• Changed and added recipes to be more intuitive (like cars) and generic (like turret bases).
  For example, a gun turret recipe is a turret-base and a submachine-gun.
• Enemies and weapons rebalanced so player tech doesn't exponentially run away in combat power.
  The base vanilla game gives players many new tech and weapon advantages over time (such as +damage) that the power creeps exponentially compared to biters. So to balance this, weapon upgrades only increase it by around 10-20% each research.
• Explosives now have falloff damage radii, doing more damage in the epicenter compared to the edge, most explosives now have a larger radius.
• Shallow water can be walked and driven on and allow you to get to other islands easily. This slows down movement and vehicles.
