Factorio Forums

Hello all, so here is my modpack

So the goal in this modpack is still the same thing as original + HardCorio yeah you heard me HardCorio is here + it is even harder cause you need a shit ton of Rare Earth per magazine. Why? cause I changed Clean Water recipe to need 150 Rare earth per 110 Liters of Clean Water.

This modpack does not involve untouched mods, most mods have been edited in some way to match up, and to make things run more or less from Replicators to gain base materials.

Fair warning this is not as easy as it sounds.
Curious to what this got to offer beside a different play style? Try it, I dare you.

Find bugs? or find some things to easy, please do report them thank you.

Added Belt Blocker by JamesOfFarrell - Now you can block certain lanes on a belt
Added Fluid Void - Now you can make a pipe where all the fluids going into that will disappear

So as I was asked by Jaxterity to make turrets easier to get as of start. But due to the rare earth cost changes it will go much faster even if you just do the usual research.
So instead I chose to limit how much turrets you can have from the start, so need to place them strategically(know where the enemy is coming from) - cause you get 10 x39 Turrets with 20 ammo of x39 AP
You might think it is just a easy fix, but this was thought over and decided that it seems to be the best way to do so, as I don't want the turrets to be availible right away.

Changed DyTech Water Cleaning Technology to require Water Cleaning(By me) before they can research it

V2.4
Fixed some typo's in V2.3

V2.5
Fixed Red Laser turret - apparantly my mod-list was different than the one I uploaded, idk why thou but it was, but now it is the same and all should be fine.

It's so GREAT!!

Thank you very much
Hope you will have some fun hours with it, if you find something that aint right or missing that you cant get due to not being able to get the needed base materials from Replicators do tell as then I can add the missing ones

I was worried about the difficulty of this mod. and now you fix it.
(my EN nod good)

Yeah at first release it was WAY 2 hard as the pollution made them increase way 2 fast :p

Now it should be decent :p

How does one get clean water?
You need water cleaning to do it, but to do that you need fluid science packs.
Fluid science packs require light and heavy oil, which requires crude oil.
Crude oil requires earth and clean water...

Ah crap, you beat me to it

I ran basically into the same problem yesterday, but it was getting late and i thought i might have overlooked something. But after a few more hours today, and the fact that someone else has the same problem i would really appreciate a quick fix, since i cannot go any further than what i did so far without clean water, or some way to get clean water without needing clean water to get it in the first place

Well i changed the config so that it requires nature packs instead, as a walk around but that doesn't carry into the old world... Well gotta restart

Oh, holy shit, it's so heavy modpack

damn did not see that, will get that fixed asap - when I am home and near my computer I will have that fixed and sorted so oil can be created xD sorry about that :/

I has played quite far into the game, but apparantly I skipped the oil thing for some reason Oo

And as I am going to change the look of it to be looking like oil instead of a barrel / at first I had it create oil barrels but I changed my mind xD

Also a flaw in it as I noticed is the name on the technology as I apparantly forgot to put that into the locale(text)

Yay for the fixes
Time to show some things i built...

EDIT: Seems like spoilers dont quite work, switching to links instead...

An early game earth setup:

I think my research speed could be improved...

Too many biter corpses, they seem to be a bit laggy

Holy shit that is alot of corpses xd maybe add some kind of destruction after some time to it xD

Also how does the Rare Earth Farming goes? is it easy? 2 easy? as it seems on my end that you only got ore spawn for that?

And about power usage? how does that go?

#Think I should change the Alien Tech Replication time to take more more like 30mins/ Artifact#
#Change the Rare Earth Replication time also, would probably also be a good idea it seems to be :p unless ofc. how long gameplay did all that take?

#Changing the spawn of the Rare Earth - now making the deposits smaller, but you can actually find them out in the open :p

I am farming with medium/regular settings other than very poor richness, and with that you get quite a lot of rare earth, as long as you place your mining drills efficiently. I tried to go for lower settins in a previous attempt, but due to the rare earth only spawning in the starting area (or so it seems), that was way too few. I was hoping at the time to have to set up mining bases outside and connect them by train, but with the current setting that seems a little pointless

Power usage is always a little tricky until you a) get an automated solar production going or b) research the highest tier of energy, the red panels are awesome

Once you change the alien artifact thing i guess that it will be a lot harder to get to the top tiers of stuff, but that seems reasonable. I could not figure out what kinds of modules fit into the replicators though.

general playtime is about 25 hours in a total of 3 different worlds, one being mp until desync problems after 11h and about 3minutes Time to start a let's play of it once the next changes are done, hopefully this time with no more game breaking bugs, but i havent seen any up until the early lategame after the water fix.

Oh and one more thing: it seems that the biters are no threat at all once you set up some basic turrets. Maybe instead of completely terminating pollution based evolution, make it be very slim instead. Having to go outside an kill aliens to make them evolve without any need to worry about biters (other than cleaning up the 20k corpses again ) seems a too little challange

EDiT: Pleas give an option to work with normal stack sizes, while it is nice to carry stacks of 9k iron around, having to set up a limit on solar panel production with logistics chests and smart inserters seems kind of annoying, and it takes too much from the inventory management challange of the basegame out

Thanks for that will definetly help alot :p

Yeah the Spawning of Rare Earth was something that was written wrong in the replicators main code - but fixed that so it is in smaller quantity's near your spawn and that you can find them outside.
Also concidering changing it to be X amount instead of a infinite ressource, might make it worth more to go out and farm it and such :p

Yeah I heard alot who said the 9k was way 2 high, so I am thinking of changing most of the raw ressources to be at 1k, and the other things at 250 items - might be better to limit production :p

Yeah well pollution I did have that activated and instantly the evo rate was at max, so might be something that is wrong with it :/ instead I think I will let time decide the evolution rate.

#Edited#
Alright ended up making it pollution based as it is as of standard as it seems to be the best

great, that will make a lot of stuff easier than before

I kind of like the idea of it being an infinite resource, as long as it is scarce and you need it for a lot of stuff. Maybe use more of it in different places and drop the field sizes, to finally make it worth to actually do some dytech research other than water cleaning I still haven't figured out how to efficiently setup research for those 10 packs, which would make a great challenge version of the pack, using mainly dytech research...

So now i really am excited for the next version, keep it up!

I just released it xD with most of the fixes as mentioned before hand :p

yeah I am going to be changing alot of the main recipe's to also involve the rare earth to create the stuff. or create items faster :p

Seems like there are a few new bugs
Once you research stone gears from rare earth the player crafting will no longer allow autocrafting of stone to gears but replaces them with rare earth. Conveyor belt now raw resource cost of 1 iron plate + 10 rare earth instead of 1 iron + 1 stone... You will have to craft the stone gears manually which is kind of annoying, maybe give the old recipe priority over the old one... Didn't quite get far enough yet to verify this with some of the other new recipes though.
other than that i like the new changes to the rare earth production rate, i will just have to remember for further attemts to not put out too many of them, or the biters will get me again

I have to say, so far i am loving your modpack! Its exactly what i was looking for.
I do have a few things that could hopefully make this modpack better. Since its almost impossible (for me at least) to add more mods to it:

https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =14&t=4786 This one shows you the current time in the game and how long you have been playing. Could be useful since the power input is solar panels, with this mod you can see the time which is roughly left before its dark.

https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =14&t=6227 This one basically speaks for itself, a belt blocker that i found in the past to be very useful.

https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =14&t=5981 A mod that adds the possibility of making longer underground belts.

https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =14&t=5973 This one adds the possibility to have a storage on top of a belt. Very useful for storing items and saving space.
