If you've seen the big shadows in the ground with nametags, those are supporter fish, people who either helped a lot with the mod or completed it outright. If you complete it, mention that in some way here or on my discord and I can add you in.

EDIT: Just in case, I've decided to stop at 100 backer fish so that I'm not chained down to adding more people in perpetually. I think we're at around 30 now as of April 20, 2025 (not everyone who has a backer fish is from this thread).

Guess I'll be the first one to comment here. Launched a rocket. It was FUN.
Now I can work on that last sacrifice.

@exfret btw you mentioned here that I'm already a supporter fish:

Yes, since you spread the word about the mod in the cursed ideas thread and interacted in the fun mode community so much, you do indeed already have a fish. Maybe you should try saying hi to it :P

Apparently, you're quite pleased with me. I wish I could say the same about you...

Proud victor of Fun Mode, after launching a rocket and completing the final sacrifice! Thank you for the strikingly well-made and FUN mod.

Might be a while before the next update, but I'll make sure you get added. Congrats on the fi(ni)sh!

Do new fish spawn in existing games? I should hunt it down.

btw, does that mean the starting area will eventually be littered with supporter fish?

Not existing games no, and yes eventually it will be littered (though there is a minimum spawn distance). If it becomes too much we can always have them spawn further out.

I beat this mod! 'twas F.U.N.
Only suggestion would be to make underground pipes an even later research than currently to follow the theme of restrictive (and silly) designs expanding to unrestrictive.

You just missed the last update! We'll have to get your fish into the next one.

That sure was a !!fun!! mod to beat. Regarding ^^, I actually for some reason didn't realize underground pipes were useful (thought they were the same behavior as regular pipes and that was the bit) until very late in the game, so my fluid setups were all spaghetti, oops.

I did it!

An yes, it was very FUN. Quite sleeky design of the rocket, ngl :)

Where are all you people coming from XD

I've let the current maintainer know to add you guys in the next update. No promises when it'll be. Congrats on finishing!

I've studied all the slurpy juices and become green

Fantastic mod, only critique is that the satelite isn't green so I didn't want to send it to orbit

Wait, you can put a nuclear fish in the rocket? I knew about normal fish, but I didn't code that in. What did the factorio devs do??! Auto-fish sensing?!?!

Anyways we'll add you in the next update.

I also did it!

Thank you for this great mod!
Had to stop watching DocJade's video after about 5 minutes to enjoy this blind, it was worth it. (I also found his shadow fish - very cool!)
I really enjoyed the Physical Plant and the Explosives, not so much the RCU2.0...
If I have one criticism it's that, after I discovered that I could place Off-Shore Assemblers on Concrete, the base became pretty normal, at least until I got to the nightmare that is yellow science.
And now I can finally watch the video.

Added to the list, I'll need to get an update out sometime so you guys are all in the mod

i wone, now im going to finish getting the last fish sacrafice. kept my friend alive the whole time

i do have 4 complaints.
first: the resurch to compleet all resurches nearly crashed my game.

second: ther was no resurch that had more than 1 of a pack per cycle, and there should have been at least 1 so that players attempts to ratio were wrong

third: there was nothing that needed more than 1 green science at once

4th: i was fully expecting there would be a point where i would need to set up the 1st labs again for a resurch lab 2 cant do in order to progress, and was disapointed when it never happened

Fitting username

thanks

Thank you for this absolutely wonderful mod.

Saw a youtube video, stopped just a little ways in to try it myself. Oh boy am I glad I did. So many perfect moments where you expect something to work one way, and it just doesn't in some new and unexpected way. Among all of the jokes, there were some gems of design hidden there as well. I particularly liked the offshore assemblers. It got me to effectively build two different base halves connected by trains, which was neat. (yeah didn't really need to do that later, but I kept going with it anyways.) Took just under 26 hours. em

beat it with a group of people

the group was:

it would be interesting to see a space age spin of this mod pack at some point, but considering how much space age adds, i doubt we would see it any time soon.

some dumb ideas for it could be:
on aquilo inserters could get a runny nose from the cold temperature and spawn in a booger.
an encounter with Darth cheeseman in space.
instead of a sea of oil on fulgora, it's fanta (a light nod to an ending to a specific movie).

Started it as monthly map, due to giving up and starting again and general procrastination, only finished next month. Despite watching at least 2, maybe 3 people complete it, therefore spoiling myself a little and ofc finding out the op secret from discord, I finished!

My name shall be 'Runelt99, The Slayer of Exfret', don't make me change it to count pls. Side note, I originally thought that killing landfish is insanely irritating without speed up mod, but uranium ammo with most PHY DMG let me kill it pretty fast, just takes around 1.5 stacks of uranium ammo or something.

Also, I ended up not researching some stuff bc I wanted more challenge, but was disappointed that I cannot just not research the cat, since Cheeseman is invincible at the end >:(

It's possible to not research the cat actually. You just have to put the rocket silo so far away that cheeseman doesn't reach it before the rocket finishes. Also yes that's an awful solution but tEcHnIcAlLy you can do it. :P

this is almost entirely NOT me, but there was a guy who did it on youtube about four months ago. incredible watch on that video.

i think he deserves a tribute

He's been in the mod for a few months now.

We beat the mod! Lots of funny times. Thank you!

Yes, the clock does say 91 hours, but most of that time was idling. At least that's my excuse c:

Also, there's something FISHy about this mod. Although, I can't put my finger on it...
