For more details, read the description on the mod portal page.

Major Features

• New Burner Assembling Machines: 3 tiers; Tier 2 is compact & very fast but has a limited recipe set
• Advanced Burner Mining Drill: has lower pollution output, slightly larger area, extreme speed, & can mine Uranium Ore
• Burner variants of the Oil Refinery & Chemical Plant
• Burner Laboratory & 2 new types of Science Packs: for researching some new technologies
• Eco-Assembling Machine & Eco-Chemical Plant: do not produce pollution & have lower energy consumption.
• Air Filters: intermediate product used in higher tier burner devices, as well as eco-friendly devices
• 3 new Achievements

Also includes a new scenario: Military Supply! Provide military resources to the empire!

Minor Features

• ALL burner (chemical fuel) devices now pollute--except trains! Because Locomotives have air filters now.
• Burner Inserters now move at the same speed as regular Inserters. Now they can keep up with fast belts.
• A couple of changes to early-game recipes.
• There is an option to prevent burner devices from connecting to the Circuit Network.
• There is an option for some high-tier burner devices to accept modules. (since version 1.1.1)
• The pump (for fluids) now requires electric Engine Units because they are powered by electricity.
• Rearranged & redid a lot of early-game techs.

Mod Compatibility

Because this mod changes a LOT of things in the early game, it may cause conflicts with other mods. It is untested, but don't use other mods that drastically change the early game. Mods that are very small or that do not affect the early game should not cause any problems.
This mod is compatible with all of my other mods.
If you tried this in multiplayer and had any problems, let me know.
If you try to add this to an existing game, it won't crash but some things in your factory may no longer work. I recommend you start a new game when using this mod.

Pretty nice! I like how it takes obsolete things from the beginning of the game and can implement them late game, brings new ways to use old materials and a bit of nostalgia.

[QGamer]

CJ5Boss: I'm glad you like it! Are there any parts of it you feel could be improved?

To everyone who uses this mod: what are your thoughts? I'm open to suggestions, although I can't promise I'l implement everything. Please leave feedback!

Also, a new version (0.17) of Factorio is coming out & I do plan to update all of my mods for it, including a couple of tiny finishing touches to this mod.

Edit: version 1.1.0 has been released for Factorio version 0.17.

This mod is so cool! I love the scenario as a fun time waster sometimes before work.

[QGamer]

Thank you for the feedback!

Hi Q, thought it might be easier and cleaner to post logs here than in the mod portal?

[QGamer]

Thank you for letting me know of this bug.
I'll fix it as soon as I can, but unfortunately that will be a long time from now.

[QGamer]

SmileyMan72: I was finally able to fix the bug. (At least, I think I fixed it. Let me know if you have any more problems.)
My next plan is to update the mod for the 0.18.x experimental version.
