Research Cost Divider
Divides the research cost of every technology by a power of 10 that you choose in the startup settings (1, 10, 100, 1000 ... 1,000,000).
I can't keep my computer on for long periods, but thanks to this mod my mining productivity level researches up to 10x faster, saving me a lot of time.
Features
- Works with Factorio 2.x and Space Age.
- Startup setting: pick the divisor (10 = 1/10 of the cost, 100 = 1/100, etc.).
- Affects finite and infinite technologies (mining productivity, etc.), including technologies added by other mods.
- Minimum cost is always 1 unit, so no research becomes free.
- No runtime scripts at all, so zero UPS impact. Everything is applied once while the game loads.
Notes
- Changing the setting requires a game restart (it is a startup setting).
- The number of research units is divided; research time per unit is unchanged.
- Technologies unlocked by triggers (no science packs) are not affected.
