Modding

• Sub items are now removed from items used in hand-crafting.

Sub items are now removed from items used in hand-crafting.

Is this to do with equipment in equipment grids (i.e. crafting modded armor from a lower tier armor that has equipment in it that you forgot to remove), or are sub items something else?

So, Expansion pack it is!

This immediately creates two main questions: What will it contain and when is it coming.

What? It is way too early to show any of the plans, and since we want to keep the iterative process of expanding things that prove to be the most fun, the plan is quite loose anyway.
When? All I can say is, that we are starting work on it now, and we don't think that it will take less than a year to develop. I'm personally very curious how the theory of getting more efficient once the engine is solid will hold.

More than a year from 2021-02-05

Factorio did take 8 years+, so I assume to take 2-4 years.



Which makes sense, when you think about the complexity, the quality and how many people are actively working on it.
