About Aircraft Tweaks

From Factorio Mod Portal

Tweaks various aircraft stats from the Aircraft mod and recolours the Flying Fortress.

Tweaks various stats from the Aircraft mod, including a recoloured sprite for the Flying Fortress. (Now 25% larger!)

The following Changes were made:

Cargo Plane -Scaled up sprite by 25% -Slightly increased power consumption and speed

Gunship -Slightly increased power consumption and fuel inventory size -Increased equipment grid size to 6x6

Jet -Significantly increased health (so the thing doesnt explode in 0.1s if you fly too close to a biter nest) -Increased inventory size and power consumption -Increased equipment grid size zo 10x6

Flying Fortress -Recoloured the sprite and scaled it up by 25% (Now it should look a lot more intimidating) -Increased range on all weapons to 50 (Machine Gun), 80 (Rocket Launcher), 120 (Aircraft Cannon) -Added a second Rocket Launcher (for easy juggling between nukes and conventional rockets) -Increased health, inventory size and power consumption -Increased equipment grid size zo 16x10

Afterburner -Slightly reduced grid energy consumption

Carbon Fiber Variants -Are now supported with the same rebalances and tweaks -They have half the weight and half the energy consumption with a 25% effectivity bonus

Additional tweaks if Krastorio2 is present: -Jet gets an additional heavy rocket launcher (so you can keep nuking stuff while flying at supersonic speeds) -Flying Fortress gets an additional heavy rocket launcher in place of the second regular rocket launcher -Flying Fortress gets a sniper railgun-cannon -Re-enabled various equipment types for the equipment grid

If anyone likes my recolour/upscaling of the sprite but doesn't like the other changes I made, they are free to share a tweaked version of my Tweaks mod :) (Just link this mod and the original mod if you reuse the graphics) If I see a lot of requests for a not-OP Version of the resprite, I might try to make this mod more configurable via mod settings. (For my very first mod I didn't want to attempt to make something overly sophisticated)

Important Note: This mod is not fully compatible with AAI Programmable Vehicles Some of the tweaks I made apply to the AI versions of the aircraft, some don't! I didn't look too deeply into this as this seems to surpass my very limited knowledge with Factorio Modding but I figured that it's not that big of a deal, since the tweaks are mostly meant to enhance the experience with player-piloted Aircraft anyways. (Sadly the resprite isn't available either for the AI versions)

This mod requires the Aircraft mod and has an optional dependency for Krastorio2 (and K2SO).

Changelog: 0.06 -Space Age is no longer a hard requirement -Slightly increased effectivity of carbon fiber variants

0.0.5 -Added support for carbon fiber variants -Rebalanced values that affect movement -Rebalanced equipment grid sizes -Scaled down sprites for Cargo Plane and Flying Fortress (To 125% down from 150%/130% respectively) -Fixed integration with K2 Weapon types -Added support for K2SO

0.0.4 -Update to Factorio 2.0

0.0.3 -Initial Release
