Snowfall is an overhaul mod for Factorio that is focused on expansive logistics, more involved smelting & intermediate assembly, and exploration & discovery.
in alpha, many things are subject to change!
save files will not be backwards-compatable at this point.
balancing is also... incomplete :)
general gameplay:
- capturing geothermal steam for mechanical power
- somewhat more involved smelting & intermediate assembly
- creating electronics isn't trivial here...
- protecting your factory from the cold, harsh weather
- exploration of the moon you crashed on, and perhaps beyond...
- complex logistics featuring mini trains, cargo ships, and more
Mods & compatibility
Snowfall depends on the following fantastic mods:
- Brass Tacks by planetfall - "Adds zinc ore so you can make the best alloy."
- Them Thar Hills by planetfall - "Adds gold ore and some electronic intermediates."
- If I Had A Nickel by planetfall - "Adds nickel ore and plates, invar alloy, and some mechanical components."
- Lasing Around by planetfall - "Adds helium and laser-related intermediates, and a side-grade to assembling machines."
- Lead by brevven - Adds lead ore and plates.
- Silica & Silicon by brevven - Adds silica, silicon, and basic fiber optics.
- Titanium by brevven - Adds titanium.
- Alien Biomes by Earendel - Snow, ice, and stone biomes.
- Cargo Ships by schnurrebutz - Adds massive cargo ships.
- Mini Trains by Klonan - Smaller trains!
- Requirement of having lamps is not heavily enforced as they are generally the most useless fixtures. However, distributing high amount of them all over the factory no longer looks like such a pointless exercise, after the night stoped appearing so ridiculously inconsequantial. by ouk_ouk - Adjusts the lighting to feel more cold.
- Change Inserter Drop Lane by raiguard - "Change which side of the belt an inserter will drop on."
- Realistic Ores by ouk_ouk - Copper, iron, and uranium ore have the colors of real ores.
- Hatsune Enrichment Process by MisfitMaid - look, i promise this is a relevant dependency; it's crucial for some planned stuff
- Informatron by Earendel - "The helpful information directory and guide to the galaxy."
Compatibility with non-dependency mods will not be implemented at this time; Snowfall is still in alpha!
Snowfall will almost certainly never be compatible with Factorio: Space Age. Compatibility with expansion features (space travel, quality, spoilage) is also highly unlikely, but may happen at some point to work with other standalone planet mods.
