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.

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😊
