Iridium Construction Robots

A Factorio mod that adds later-game iridium construction robots into space exploration that are quicker and more durable than their normal counterparts with the aim of reducing the amount of time you spend restocking biter-heavy planets with construction robots while also providing an upgrade that feels impactful, but not utterly game breaking, by making the robots move more quickly.

Their benefits relative to normal construction robots are as follows:

• 5x the health
• 2x the speed
• Complete fire immunity
• Halved damage from most other sources of damage

Research Requirements

The new-and-improved robots are gated behind material science 3, so it will take a while to get them. Though, the benefits of getting them are more than worth it.

Compatibilities

Should be compatible with most robot-altering mods.

Known compatibilities:

• Fireproof Robots
• Robot Battery Research

Known incompatibilities:

• TBD

Settings

On startup, you can adjust the following attributes:

• Robot health
• Robot speed
• Robot fire immunity (toggling off will still give the robots some resistance to fire)
