Are you bored with vanilla Factorio? Need something to spice up your game? Then perhaps today is your day! Try this mod and I guarantee your Factorio experience will be changed!

It'll probably also work with Bob's mods. And maybe other mods. Perhaps. If you're lucky.

I have a list of changes here, but it seems that both it and the ReadMe file in the mod package have been through a bit of a time warp and ended up in an alien tongue. Maybe some of you can decipher it...?

Damn time zones, it's not April 1st yet for me, so I guess I can't download this mod.

Yeah it's not April 1 yet here either, but it is in, like, Japan and Australia, so I figured I should post it.

Mmm, kinda close. I'd say about 70% of what I intended.
It'll help to play around a bit with the mod to see the changes for yourself, and to browse the Latin Wikipedia for some of the terminology.

Now reading myself with fresh brain, I can see some improvements :

[Edit] : I reckon the only latin I have heard or read comes from Asterix the Gaul and from Harry potter

Much better! The only things that are still off are: I intended "automata" to be "robots" so they'd be Logistics Robots and Construction Robots; speaking of construction robots, they have a "petasus durus" i.e. Hard Hat. Finally, the "tank" adjective (cisterninae) applies to Thomas the Tank Engine.

Ceterum, accipe hoc crustulum!

Thomas the Tank Engine!

lol that's why I couldn't understand that line XD. I've never heard of that show ^^.

Why oh why didn't I see this sooner.

I love the latin change notes. I still can read latin pretty well so that alone made my day.
