Introduction:
Running out of space to add lanes to the main copper line? miniaturize your copper plates so they fit! This is the ultimate scaling mod!
This mod allows potentially infinite density / scaling without breaking the game. There's tech and cost requirements to keep it challenging while satisfying.
To allow a truly infinite-scaling factory without clutter, I recommend it with factorissimo, and a barreling mod (for any liquid). Any items can be packaged without modification, should be compatible with most mods, including bob's etc.
This is my first mod I'm looking for balance, art, or feature suggestions and people to test!
Description:
Adds two types of inserters, and a package item.
The minifying inserter grabs items and assembles them into a package. The magnifying inserter undoes the process. Packaging items allow greater denisity and throughput on the belts. Any items can be assembled, however there is only one package item. The package contents are remembered internally but cannot be seen until depackaged. Dissimilar packages do not stack. The assembling process can be composed in a hierarchy, which has additional tech requirements. The last tech level allows infinite throughput at great cost.
This mod is highly recommended to use with Factorrissimo Mod for truly infinite scaling factories without clutter.
