Legendary Normal


This mod sets the normal quality stats to match legendary stats (Configurable). This applies to everything without actually changing their quality level. Optional setting to make it so enemies remain at normal stats.

g FIXED: Big mining drill

2 months ago

The Big mining drill's resource drain is not affected. Did you purposefully make it so that this mod doesn't change it or is this something you missed?

I am playing a "for fun" playthrough and have the setting set on legendary level 10. The resource drain on the big mining drill is 50% (common quality).

I am thoroughly enjoying this mod and will continue to enjoy it even if this setting is intended :), but it would also be cool if you decide to change it.

Oh, I did not notice that! I will look into it more, the way I do it is by changing the quality level of "normal" itself, so it's very odd that this is the single thing I've seen not applied. I will look into it more and provide a patch when I find the solution. Sorry for the slow reply.

Ok so I found a solution where I can manually patch the % which drills drain (Includes regular mining drills as the same issue applied to them.)

If you set a quality level, it will manually set the resource drain value. I've set the max to 8% to match legendary, so even at level 10 it'll be 8%
I figure, anything past 8% is just broken. Though due to how the game handles it internally (Hard coded) if you were to make a legendary drill with this mod active, it'll be 1%

This workaround seems to be the best option, and if people choose to use quality on top of this mod, well that's their call but it'll be insanely broken for drills as they will basically have infinite resources.

All good, yes I would have suggested to keep the limit at 8%. 8% along with mining prod research basically makes ores infinite so no point in lowering it. Awesome thank you. :)

I've pushed an update fixing this, as well as pumpjacks as they had the same issue.

You're a legend. Thank you.

You have managed to reverse it, now big mining drills work and normal/burner drills not work properly.

I think the latest Factorio update may have changed something as it was working last week. I'll look into it in a bit.
