The original idea i had was to have storage and item transport much, much harder in Factorio because - lets face it, storage is very easy in vanilla, up to 48 items in a 1x1chest. So, here's some ways to make the storage game difficult...
+ Inventory removed, the player only has the hotbar to start (tool belt and modular armor still help, but 1/2 effect with armor)
+ Stacks reduce to about 10% in most cases. 10 plates/ores, 20 circuits, 5 small bits (belts/inserters/modules), and even just 1 large machine (and chem plants/refineries) per stack.
+ Storage revamps, mostly new "chests" (all numbers are just ideal ones)
- Wood/steel crates (wood/steel chests already), 1 slot, 1x1 (steel is upgradeable to logistic)
- Wooden Storage Shack, 4 slots, 2x2
- Small Warehouse (iron), 12 slots, 4x4
- Large Warehouse (steel), 24-32 slots, 6x6 or 8x8 (upgradeable to logistic)
- Cargo wagons & cars/tanks have only 10 slots (remember, ores stack to only 10 per slot!)
- Fluid Tanks have only 500 fluid capacity
- Stack inserter/robot capacity reduced to 50% of vanilla (unnecessary at regular amounts)
+ Exoskeleton split into upper and lower (upper adds 2 more inv. slots per, lower gives 15% speed bonus per, both 2x2 grid)
+ All modifiable in configs for different mod setups (Marathon, Bob's, whatever other mod setups exist)
Hopefully someone with modding capabilities could consider doing this, I simply don't have the time or skill to do this myself (or else I would do it
)
