• Name: Enable Productivity Modules
• Mod link (0.13): https://mods.factorio.com/mods/blakemw/ ... ityModules

This mod enables productivity modules for certain recipes added by other mods. Check the mod portal link for more details.

Awesome, thank you!

I expected to see it enable them in beacons instead of other mods.
Thanks for changing the title to remove any confusion lol
im assuming the process isnt automatic since you said it requires editing for other recipes

That is correct. It is a conservative mod intended to harmonize with vanilla game balance and do nothing surprising (indeed, to make the game less surprising). It is not easy to determine automatically if a recipe should allow productivity modules or not. In the base game recipes are by default not compatible with productivity, and need to be explicitly whitelisted.

I may consider adding config flags that allow:
1) Enable productivity modules for all recipes.
2) Enable productivity modules in beacons.

However I have to question what that actually adds to the game

It adds more productivity module use!
I love productivity modules. But I'm currently trying to make my megabase build compatible with vanilla so I wouldn't be able to use productivity modules in my factory for non-intermediates anyways.

Btw, isn't satellite technically an intermediate? It has no related entity and no effects or uses. Sending it up into space is also just using it as an ingredient. So why can't we use productivity modules in satellites? Or does sending it int up in space count as "building the satellite entity" in orbit?

Other mods that could use your help that I can come up with on the spot:
Small artifacts mod viewtopic.php?f=94&t=24245
Peace mod viewtopic.php?f=120&t=23135 (though required me to do manual adjustments to not have it's recipe overwritten by all other artifact crafting mods)

I should probably write in their threads too but... well I was too lazy.

Is this gonna be updated for 0.13? Only I've got myself that strange-matter mod and I'm going to try to make oil with the might of the sun alone... This'd speed things up a whole lot..!

Sure. OP has been updated.

I wasn't sure whether productivity modules should be used with strange-matter, but I noticed the matter replicator lists "productivity" as an allowed effect, so I figured, hey, why not?

Does this enable productivity modules for the Berguis process, too? Bergius, Berguis, I can never spell that...

This mod is not needed for the new versions of Bergius Process. Klonan fixed his own mod!

Ace! That's awesome, now I can stop bothering with these depleted oil spots and start creating coal from sunlight...!
