Adding a Science Pack

Post by Daxanius »

(new to moddding in factorio) I am working on a mod and want to add a custom science pack.

The problem is I have no clue how you do that. I mean, sure you can ad an item / tool prototype for a science pack,
but that doesn't add the slot for your science pack in a lab and doesn't add it as a potential ingredient for research.

How does one add a valid science pack? Is there actually a type / way for this?
Is there a page somewhere that explains how to do that maybe?

Thanks in advance!

I would recommend going through one of mods that overhaul technology like bob's tech overhaul or angels industry or pyandons set.
You basically need to do all of those things:
1. Create the science pack
2. Edit existing labs to have a slot for it or add new ones
3. Update techologies to add it as cost
