Description: This mod drastically streamlines early-to-mid-game logistics by revamping transport drone technologies, road performance, and research costs. Designed to accelerate logistics progression, it reduces grind, boosts mobility, and integrates seamlessly with popular mods like Transport Drones Skin, pycoalprocessing, and asphalt-themed mods.

🚀 Key Features

  • Simplified Research for Transport Drones
  • All core drone technologies (including transport-system, transport-depot-circuits, and speed/capacity upgrades) now require just 1 automation science pack per research, with a trivial count of 1 unit each.
  • Speed upgrades (transport-drone-speed-1 to 5) and capacity upgrades (transport-drone-capacity-1 to 10) follow a linear progression, unlocking rapidly to keep pace with factory growth.
  • Capacity tiers 2–10 are auto-generated with the same low cost, ensuring unlimited scalability without research bottlenecks.

  • Supercharged Roads

  • Default transport-drone-road walking speed modifier doubled from 1.5x to 3x; advanced transport-drone-road-better boosted from 2x to 5x, making ground movement exponentially faster.
  • Vehicle friction modifiers adjusted (1x for basic roads, 2x for advanced) to enhance vehicle efficiency on drone roads.

  • Mod Compatibility & Recipe Tweaks

  • With pycoalprocessing: Road recipes are rebalanced—basic roads use 10 stone bricks + 10 raw coal; fast roads use 10 concrete + 50 tar (integrating with coal/tar production chains).
  • With Transport Drones Skin, AsphaltPaving, or AsphaltRoadsPatched: Asphalt-related technologies (e.g., asphalt-road, Arci-asphalt) unlock early via logistics or transport-system with minimal research costs.

🎯 Purpose

Eliminates tedious research grinds for logistics systems, letting you focus on building efficient factories. By slashing science requirements and boosting road performance, it makes early drone networks and ground transport viable sooner—perfect for players seeking a smoother, faster-paced logistics progression.

Ideal for: Players who want to accelerate drone logistics, simplify research, and enhance mobility without sacrificing balance. Works seamlessly with vanilla and modded playstyles!
