Raw wood -> Wood -> Artificial tree -> Raw wood -> ....

"what if we automate life its self"

the empty tab is impossible. there [MUST] be a recipe under that crafting category in order for there to be another tab. if i were to just create the crafting category, but no recipes in it, it wouldn't show up. i wish i could do that, though.

You could always add a pointless recipe for that category. Something like a recipe where the input and output match: 1 wood -> 1 wood.
Or a recipe that's impossible to get the materials for.

found a way. i lied to myself...

Code: Select all

{
    type = "recipe",
    name = "infinite wood",
    enabled = "true",
    energy_required = 0.5,
    ingredients =
    {
      {"raw-wood", 1}
    },
    result = "raw-wood",
    result_count = 1
  }

you learn something new every day

- an inserter can take out the pointless item out of the pointless chest (with no inventory). It's pure pointlessness.
- 100 pointlessness can be assembled to a black hole
- 100 black holes can be crafted to a black pointlessness.

it's on the way. (eventually)
i know the secrets of Factorio now

What if you make fluid recipe like water to crude oil, add it in new crafting category called "handcrafting" and include the category only for player prototype.

With the next update under way, the current changed are listed as such;

- pointless gear wheel ==> pointless gear wheel centre + iron gear wheel
- pointless gear wheel centre

i need more ideas than this, or i might add something with a point!
ya know... it's kinda hard to think when you have to go to school for 7 hours a day

This has the potential of a really big mod.

i admit, i may or may not have forgotten that i left the shotgun-grenade-launcher as a car-launcher.

Factoraptor asks: If you want to make this pointless mod bigger, is it pointless to submit more ideas for it anyway?

Point taken, although I see no point. Carry on.

Stop reading this. Why are you reading this? It's pointless.
STOP. I'm walking away now. Why are you reading my
posts? Nothing to see here. You're still here? Wow. I
thought my life was pointless. Alright. This was pointless.
I'm done now. HEY, YOU! YEAH YOU! STOP. No one wants
to read this. Why are you still reading? I'm bored now.
Good bye. Just stop already! stop. Stop. STOP. STOP!

Good idea, the mod should ask after 10 mins:

This game is pointless! If you really want to continue, then click on the dot at the end of this line.

progress is amazingly slow. the last thing i made was a flamethrower that shoots iron ore...
i need more ideas. everything i think of isn't even pointless
what if i just learn lua for once

You could put random points appearing on the screen during gameplay. somehow like dead pixels. And disappear randomly. Then it won't be actually pointless (as it contains some points), but in the same time these points will be even more pointless.
