This tiny mod changes the electric drill to reduce mining speed and power consumption by a factor of ten. It leads to an interesting playthrough. Rather than mining an area out and moving on, you have to keep expanding to provide a rate of resource production that is what you need. Most resource deposits (on normal settings) will still be producing at end-game, and you'll have a thousand-ish drills running at end game (I had 840 and it wasn't enough). Have fun!
The main code for this mod is simply:
Code: Select all
-- Adjust mining drills
print(data.raw["mining-drill"]["basic-mining-drill"].mining_speed)
data.raw["mining-drill"]["basic-mining-drill"].mining_speed = 0.05
data.raw["mining-drill"]["basic-mining-drill"].energy_usage = "9kW"
print(data.raw["mining-drill"]["burner-mining-drill"].mining_speed)
data.raw["mining-drill"]["burner-mining-drill"].mining_speed = 0.035
data.raw["mining-drill"]["burner-mining-drill"].energy_usage = "30kW"
So it's easy to change if 10x is too much or too little.

or more compatible with all mods
Code: Select all
for _,v in pairs(data.raw["mining-drill"]) do
v.mining_speed = v.mining_speed * 0.1
v.energy_usage = (tonumber(string.sub(v.energy_usage, 1, -3))) * 0.1 .. " kW"
end
easy to change and work with all mining drills, maybe if you want a list of excluded entities try with
Code: Select all
local exclude =
{
["pumpjack"] = 1
}
for _,v in pairs(data.raw["mining-drill"]) do
if not exclude[v.name] then
v.mining_speed = v.mining_speed * 0.1
v.energy_usage = (tonumber(string.sub(v.energy_usage, 1, -3))) * 0.1 .. " kW"
end
end
Or maybe excluded with a list
Code: Select all
local exclude =
{
["pumpjack"] = 0.9
["burner-mining-drill"] = 0.2
}
for _,v in pairs(data.raw["mining-drill"]) do
if exclude[v.name] then
v.mining_speed = v.mining_speed * exclude[v.name]
v.energy_usage = (tonumber(string.sub(v.energy_usage, 1, -3))) * exclude[v.name] .. " kW"
else
v.mining_speed = v.mining_speed * 0.1
v.energy_usage = (tonumber(string.sub(v.energy_usage, 1, -3))) * 0.1 .. " kW"
end
end
I like the idea, but i think 10% is too hard

Thanks for the tips. I'll incorporate them if I do an update of if there are requests.

How about the polution ? Is it also reduced ? I hope it should as well...
I might give this a try and give you and the your other thread a feedback.

The pollution is proportional to energy used.

Yep, it's designed to be energy/pollution neutral. I'll be happy to hear what you think
