Could the rigor-module mod be set as optional instead of mandatory? I have a large number of mods installed, and rigor-module generates an excessive number of entities even with the current limits, resulting in a significant increase in game loading time—rising from 110 seconds to 155 seconds.

I have tried modifying the code and found that only two files need to be changed: data.lua and data-update.lua. I sincerely hope you can make it an optional mod.

Crucible and rigor module were designed together, and removing rigor modules would break a lot of the balance and progression (especially late-game scaling).

However, because of compatibility, I'm working on some "light mode" configuration that will allow scaling back the scope when playing with a lot mods installed: https://gitlab.com/jfletcher94/factorio-mods/-/issues/13

I've implemented a compatibility mode in Planet Crucible v0.1.7. Enabling it will mean rigor modules will only work in recipes that have been explicitly whitelisted by another mod, but it will drastically reduce the number of recipes added. Crucible whitelists its recipes, so rigor modules will still work as intended on Crucible.

thank you!
