Now that sounds like a better solution.
Maybe i worded that poorly. I don't mind *natural* limitation, like..enemies, or very expensive buildings. But Factory Town made me realize just how f****** annoying *artificial* limits are. If i have the raw material to build 200 furnaces, i want to be able to do that without somebody telling me "but your furnace control limit is 20 hahah!". Just a word of advice about limitations :)
Pretty sure you can't do it directly. And hacking it in requires code wizardry skill level 99 because module interactions do not trigger any events.
This. Lucky for you the factorio community is rather open and lots of code has permissive licenses, and if something you want hasn't, then asking never hurts (also telling the other person "thank you" even if the license doesn't require it is a nic gesture.) Graphics tend to be more strictly licensed. There's a "graphics request" subforum where you can try to get someone to do the work for you, but random strangers probably won't do 20 large and complicated buildings on first request (i think @archangel666 has a thread somewhere with freely licnsed graphics he made but ended up not using himself). You should concentrate one building a working prototype without graphics first anyway, which will then increase your chances of getting someone to do the graphics.
