Long description
Long description
This mod adds replicators, machines which can produce items using nothing but electricity. Lower tiers of replicators are the most energy efficient and can essentially transform depleted, empty land into a resource. Higher tier replicators can simplify production lines or otherwise act as a convenience. Tier 1 replicators can replace depleted mining drills, allowing your expansion to be for growth rather than necessity. Later tier replicators can simplify production chains at an increased electricity cost.

- The player no longer starts with replicators in their inventory
- Rare Earths have been replaced with a new resource, tenemut, which is not infinite.
- Ion weaponry removed
- Overpowered solar panels and accumulators removed
- Green beacon and carbon entanglers removed

- DyTech ores are plates are now working again. You can still use this mod without DyTech.
- 0.4.2 (2015-07-26)

- 0.4.3 (2015-07-27)
- Some recipes tweaked
- Advanced belt replication added
- There should be fewer technical problems when used with other mods
- Also, I have now realized the need for changelogs which are made as the changes are made and will start writing down my changes for later versions of this mod.
- 0.4.4 (2015-08-06)
- Created text files for changelog and roadmap
- Made basic and advanced electric poles into unconnected technologies

- 0.7.3 - The Return of Mod Stuff
- Fixed a bug where scaled replicators appeared too far to the side from their actual positions
- Greatly increased the science pack costs and required types of science pack for researching tenemut-based technologies so that the player can't gain access to higher tier replications too early
- Created a system where a table of replications is built up from this mod and potentially other mods which can use this one and then at the very end that table is used along with various recipes to generate the replications (basically you don't get to replicate science pack 3s before you have an assembly line for producing them)
- Rebalanced replication costs to take into account long production times (like most chemistry) and the use of energy intensive machinery (like oil refinineries)
- Rebalanced the default replicator energy consumption so placing down a single tier 1 replicator no longer causes a sudden cliff in energy consumption and also so that all tiers of replicator will have nice round numbers for their energy consumption amounts

- Created a new icon for the replication recipes category
- 0.7.8 - Additional Bob's Mods Compatibility and Connectivity (2018-3-8)
- Prevented the technologies generated by this mod from having redundant prerequisites
- Fixed a bug where if a disabled replication has itself as a prerequisite and is a prerequisite for another replication then the mod enters an infinite loop at startup
- Added new replications for various Bob's mod machines, ammunition and other components
- 0.7.9 - Other Mod Crash Fixes (2018-6-13)
- Fixed a bug where Factorio would crash during prototyping if this mod and Bob Logistics were enabled but Bob Warfare was not

- Make replication cost calculations use the new recipes from Angel’s mods when those mods are enabled
Addendum
Addendum
This mod is a fork of jamupsi's final version of the replicators mod, not of darkshadow1809 and doublespin's continuation of that mod. The reason for this is because I started working on Dark Matter Replicators before they posted their version. When jamupsi abandoned the original mod I though it could still be updated and I started working on a personalized version of it. I thought about posting my continuation on the forums, but then darkshadow1809 and doublespin released their own continuation of the mod and I decided that there wasn't any reason for there to be two active forks of the replicators mod at the same time. However, darkshadow1809 and doublespin still haven't updated their fork of replicators to work with version 0.12 so I figure I might as well post my own version in order to hold people over until then.

This was actually what me and doublespin were going to do for 0.12 haha 
Haven't just gotten the time for it. but now that you have done it 
!
