Pyanodons Alternative Energy
Pyanodons Alternative Energy is a mod for Factorio focused on adding both realistic and futuristic methods to generate electricity. Choose between clean, renewable energy or dirty non-renewables. This mod also greatly extends heavy industry and precision manufacturing by adding complicated intermediates such as gearboxes, control panels, and anemometers.
Features
- 100s of uniquely spirited items & fluids. Dozens of fully animated entities & structures for both high resolution and low resolution.
- Complicated chains for lithium, antimony, nuclear research, intermetallics, and photovoltaic equipment.
- In-game wiki with detailed descriptions of scripted mechanics.
- Community-made translations for over a dozen languages.
- Extends and compliments the rest of the pY mods.
- Overhauled system for beacons and modules.
- 100% multiplayer compatibility.
- Free and open source software.
Pyanodons Alternative Energy is not currently compatible with any other major overhaul mod. Use at your own risk.
Non-renewable energy
- Power your base with coal, oil, natural gas, or nuclear.
- Store energy as molten salt for use in heat exchangers.
- Destroy the natural environment with ash, soot, and tar.
Renewable energy
- Create clean, safe energy from wind, tidal, geothermal, solar, or biomass.
- Manufacture expensive and complicated mechanical parts. Think of this as a "second science".
- Your factory will still destroy the environment, just a bit slower😊
Recommended 3rd party mods
- Recipe browser such as FNEI or Recipe Book
- Ratio calculator such as Factory Planner, Helmod, or YAFC
- Loader mod such as Deadlocks Beltboxes & Loaders, Inserter cranes, Bulk Rail Loaders, or AAI loaders
- Use of Resource Spawner Overhaul (RSO) is NOT recommended.
It will cause certain resources such as geothermal vents to be extremely common.
Instead try the in-game Pyanodon preset from the world generation menu.
