Factorio Forums

Hi players,

First of all, happy 2019: i hope that this year will be a great year for you and for your family.

Second thing: i'm programming a new serie of mods: another big overhaul of the game, based on reality and divided in "ages".
I've seen that my FactorioPlus mods were liked a lot, but there are lots of mistakes in the code, and make compatibilities and/or fix bugs is become a too complex process for me... so i've decided to remake everything from the basics in a better way.

With these mods i'll rewrite the vanilla game's recipes and procedure, in order to make Factorio as realistic as i can, starting from the first machines of the first industrial revolution till to the modern industries of the XXI century.

In the future there could be a futuristic expansion too, but for now i'll focus on these points.

These mods will be compatible with Bob's and Angel's mods from the beginning, since i've seen in the past years that these mods are important for you. For other compatibilities i've another interesting project that i'll describe you in the future.
Stay tuned for more updates!

Please wait until 0.17, here is much better support of coal and steam ages.

What are they working on? Unfortunately i've not had the time for stay tuned with the updates in the past months.

Relevant for you: Fluid energy source. Generator can have burner energy source. More options for heat energy sources (minimum energy to work). (All the energy sources :P) I recommend to read viewtopic.php?f=34&t=61239 for more (much more).

All that stuff seems very interesting… i think that it will give a hand to many modders.

Thank you for this work, Bilka.

Do you plan to add compatibility with py mods?
Is Spacex/Expanded Rocket Payload futuristic?

Py already processes ores: i've looked the development of the ore refining mod for a long time… so i could also make it compatible… but it would not be so easy: do compatibilities, especially with other big mods (that are already complicated to understand), is a long and complex process (if you want to make, obviously, a good and balanced compatibility).
So, for now, i'll concentrate on Bob's and Angel's mods, that are played in almost every modpack (see YouTube series); py has his part too, many youtubers play his mods, but not as them. (It's true: i'm saying these things when only one youtuber has used my FactorioPlus modpack. xD)

RSO will be obviously compatible with my ores, it's obvious.

Yes, it will be similar to my FactorioPlus mods (After all, i'm remaking them), so i could do an extension of my mods and make it compatible with SpaceX, or i could expand the modpack with alien things.

Yeah. I am looking forward to alien things. They are currently rather useless.

Don't worry about py. It was more a joke question.

And the discord link in your signature is broken.

Thank you for told me that, already fixed.

Ok here's the Stamp Mill - first tier (obviously without texture, decorations and details).
Tomorrow i'll implement it in the game, what do you think?
_DiegoPro77

Tell me your idea about this project in my new discord page: https://discord.gg/6NGYQdX

I think that all graphics must be as mush as possible square.

Yeah i was inspiring from Py refining for this: to create structures above a squared (or nearly) platform.

If you want to follow me on the latest news enter in my discord chat: https://discord.gg/6NGYQdX;
There i publish news on RF mods weekly, answer at your questions and discuss on ideas and bugs in real time. See you soon!

Since im always looking for distractions from my super complicated map which i loaded on my shoulders in a masochist way, i wanted to have a look.

One thing i immediately noticed is, that your internal mod names seem to differ from its titles
When searching for you name and then sorting mods alphabeticly, you get this
since its a relatively unknown rework with multiple modules required, i´d ask you to organize it abit better, so people know what to download to play along the idea you had for this.
I realize this could be a bit of a headache, as its already out and maybe people wont find the mods they already playing if you change anything of what i noticed, if you really want this to become a thing and 0.17 around the corner, i think this could be the time for a relaunch

No idea if this is even a thing with 0.17 mod portal rework

i´ll start a game now. Would you rather have feedback here, or on Discord, which i just joined?

Yeah, you're right, it's a bit confusing and i didn't notice it. I'll fix it as soon as i can.

However the new modpack will be called RealFactory - "Name of the specified mod", for avoid this problem in the future.
I need to take some precautions that in the beginning i would never thought to need: have 23 different mods can create some management problems.
Yeah, i'm a bit masochist too, we could say. xD

Well, guys,

I've uploaded the alpha version of the Modpack, be sure to check it out!

As i understand it, the one you linked is the core.
Since there is not much code in it, i guess the modules, like Steam Age are where the fun actually starts?
You should guide new players to those and tell abit more about the idea behind it.

If this is just a patch to the OP (all your previous mods) you should update that post.
If they are deprecated and this is a new start, maybe spoiler them out and update. Or start a completely new thread and leave a link to that here.

Not sure about my pYpartner, this might be something to test when he´s off.

Well, if you've looked at the RF core page, you'd probably seen that there I've already asked the community if it's necessary a forum page on this forum since I've already a channel on discord.

Second thing, always on that mod page, and on my discord page, I've already told that this is a new stand-alone modpack and specified many things (for example, the link to the steam age mod), so I don't know why I should spam things that I've already said. (I don't want to be boring)
However, thank you for the suggestion, I'll create a page on this forum and I'll post the link to that page here.
