Another quickie. Thrown together pretty quickly (and a little sloppily) at the request of a streamer.

I'm considering pulling this back by half, so each tech adds 25% speed for a maximum of 2x. Thoughts?

[fuyuyuki]

seems pointless to bring it back given you can combo bobs assemblers with cyber chests to get a 20x + crafter if anything there should allmost be an option for even higher tier's

Nothing quite like taking the logistics part out of a logistics game

Thanks for this one.
It comes handy for all those long component chains that DyTech and bob's mods like

Adds four levels of "Faster crafting" tech, each adding 50% to manual craft speed (for a maximum of 3x speed).

Each tech requires the corresponding level of lab efficiency and another minor prerequisite (for flavor), and increasing science packs.

• Level 1 (150% speed): Requires Toolbelt.
  30 seconds. 1 red, 1 blue; x100
• Level 2 (200% speed): Requires Automation.
  45 seconds. 2 red, 1 blue; x150
• Level 3 (250% speed): Requires Automation 2.
  60 seconds. 3 red, 2 blue, 1 green; x200
• Level 4 (300% speed): Requires Automation 3.
  60 seconds. 4 red, 3 blue, 2 green, 1 alien; x250

I looked modes) a very good idea ..
but you know the author, I have thought that would not be so easy to take advantage of research to make longer and more expensive, and a large segment of the study.

but you know the author, I have thought that would not be so easy to take advantage of research to make longer and more expensive, and a large segment of the study.

Don't forget that each level requires the same level of Lab Efficiency tech, which are otherwise mostly useless. I considered them part of the cost (seriously, who's gonna blow 500 of the first three science packs just to get a net loss on time?).

I am thinking of modifying the speed increase values though, to reduce the max speed from 3x to 2x, and/or to make the increments more multiplicative-ish (reducing the early bonus and increasing the later bonus so that the relative speed increase is the same between each level).

[orzelek]

I think that 3x could be useful if you want to hand craft some of late game things in big mods from intermediates.

It will reduce headache caused by tons of intermediates that are used only for buildings and not really worth to build lots of automated production lines.

Making progress less linear would work nicely - and/or adding one more level.

[Schmendrick]

Proposal, then. Five levels.

• 120% speed: Requires Toolbelt, Automation, and Lab efficiency 1
  30 seconds. 1 red, 1 green; x100
• 150% speed: Requires Automation 2 and Lab efficiency 2
  45 seconds. 2 red, 1 green; x150
• 190% speed: Requires Automation 3 and Lab efficiency 3
  60 seconds. 3 red, 2 green, 1 blue; x200
• 240% speed: Requires Power armor and Lab efficiency 4
  75 seconds. 4 red, 3 green, 2 blue, 1 alien; x250
• 300% speed: Requires Power armor 2
  90 seconds. 5 red, 3 green, 2 blue, 1 alien; x500

[vedrit]

You have green and blue science packs switched

[Schmendrick]

So I do. (editing)

Loved this concept!

[Schmendrick]

Me too. Updated. Left the old one up for people who don't want to pay as much

[vedrit]

I wonder how hard it would be to create a module to be placed in armor that would increase crafting speed...

[Schmendrick]

As far as I know, impossible in current Factorio. Crafting speed is a force-wide attribute, not a player/character attribute.

I mean, you could hack something together that would appear to do the job for single player, but it would be messed up for multiplayer.

[varn]

Hey, love the concept, does the mod work if I add it to a world that already has a few mods?

[Schmendrick]

As long as the other mods don't tinker with player crafting speed (or create techs named "fast-crafting-1" etc), this should be perfectly compatible. When a game is loaded or saved, or when a technology is researched, it checks for the highest level of fast-crafting-X achieved and sets the crafting speed based on that.

Uninstalling this mod will leave player crafting speed at the level achieved. To reset to normal crafting, console

Code: Select all

/c game.forces.player.manualcraftingspeedmodifier=0

Thanks for the quick answer, I shouldn't have anything messing with it right now, CursedEXP (it's because of cursed that I want quicker crafting speed , I spend more time pocketcrafting than autocrafting for the xp) and Replicator are the only big mods used, rest are smaller things that only affect small parts of the game, none crafting related.

[Xterminator]

This is awesome! I would like to do a mod spotlight on it if you don't mind.
Definitely gonna use this, especially for something like the Dytech play through I am doing with a friend. Will help a ton with those super long recipes found in Dytech. Haha

[Airat9000]

yet I think we need to do to open technologies. 99 lvl. that would be fun to play) and then all at once the benefits are not immediately interested.
