Research technology through a particle collider in Factorio? Why not? In this mod, you can dig up materials from the ruins of a giant accelerator and build your own particle accelerator. You’ll need lots of accelerator tracks to ensure particles are boosted to a high enough level, allowing you to produce science packs or make them collide to produce extremely rare particles, thereby unlocking technologies.
Two planets have been added: one full of debris, where you can dismantle materials necessary for accelerators, and another extremely barren one with a special environment for building the ultimate giant accelerator to produce the rarest particles.
Challenge: Building accelerator tracks requires a lot of materials and supplies from different planets. I’ve simplified it a bit, so it’s not a problem for the late game.
Tech rewards: Productivity boosts for various basic materials, weapon damage boosts, etc. I tried to make an infinite tech triggered by production, but it didn’t work out.
I made this mod all by myself. I’m not good at anything, so almost all the code and images were made by AI. But my passion is real, and I hope you have fun playing it.
