Factorio Forums

I present you my first very simple mod for Factorio.

What it should have done:
It adds dense versions of iron and copper plates.

How to make the dense plates:
You have to put 128 of the plates into any kind of furnace (I do not know if furnaces from other mods work) and it will smelt them into 1 dense plate
that you can craft back into 128 normal plates.

That is everything that the mod does so far i hope you enjoy it.
If there are any Issues with the mod or you want to suggest a new feature let me know and i will look into it.

Changelog:

Version 1.0.1:
Removed a Bug that was caused by me renaming the Mod before Publishing it.
Version 1.0.2:
Scrapped the mod because i could not find a way for an item to have multiple recipes.

I like this mod. The only issue i have is that you can just craft them back easily after they have been fused.
Maybe make it so only the assembler can take them back apart again?

Good Idea i will do that and i will in the Future add a Technology for it.

please screen..

Wouldn't this conflict with 5 iron plates -> 1 steel in furnace.

Well when i did my mod i created a machine that used the same crafting interface as the assembly machines use. This way you can set which recipe to use, so then you won't be conflicting with let's say the steel recipe
BTW i think you should use a compressing machine to turn the iron plates into dense iron plates.

Can you set the Dense plates to be less dense like a x5 dense version so i could more easily convert o steel and from there get 10x 20x and 40x compressed versions as well

The problem i have is that when i set the recipe to convert dense plates into normal plates the recipe overwrites the original recipe for the plates so you can not put ores in the furnace and get plates.

would you mind letting mee take a small look at your code and then see if i can do something ?

You could create a separate furnace/assembling machine that uses a different crafting category (the recipes would use that crafting category as well) and then they wouldn't overwrite anything...

of course if you really want to scrap the mod then let a moderator know so it can be moved to obsolete mods (moderators= me or ssilk, well and the devs but they have more important things to do )
