Howdy,
Let me begin with this fact about myself, I HATE TREES, I hate them so much I pray for a mod that will make trees scream in pain when I cut them down or burn them hate hate hate trees.
OK there are blessed beautiful mod's that will remove all trees from the game thank you thank you so much for that.

But the problem is if you actually use them you are screwed no wood no electric poles, dead game you loose.
I would like to request hopefully a small mod that will create an Iron Electric pole.
Same exact reach and area of effect is fine.
Recipe something like 3 iron sticks(Side Question why not call them Iron Rod's or Beam's), 2 copper plate.
with this mod, I could start a map treeless and be a lot less stressed.
thank you.

You mean like the big electric pole?

Code: Select all

    ["big-electric-pole"] = {
      enabled = false,
      ingredients = {
        {
          "steel-plate",
          5
        },
        {
          "copper-plate",
          5
        }
      },
      name = "big-electric-pole",
      requester_paste_multiplier = 4,
      result = "big-electric-pole",
      type = "recipe"
    },

Both the big electric pole above and the regular steel electric poles need to have steel processing researched.
since in a tree less game you have no way to connect electricity to anything you can't research anything, thus dead game.
the poles I need have to be produce-able from a new game with no research requirement.
I am going to start a new game and make sure Iron stick's are there and are not steel sticks. cant remember right now.
Ok back from checking on a new game, yes they are Iron sticks not steel.
And for my sanity's sake I will ask am I correct ? that in a treeless game there is no way to hook electricity up to a research lab ?
