About Cheaper Logistics

From Factorio Mod Portal

This mod modifies the recipes for all tiers of transport belts, splitters and underground belts to make them less expensive.

#Important notice for all my mods I will update this mod for 2.0/Space Age in due time (if relevant), when I've had time to play it and decide on proper balancing/tech tree placement. DO NOT reupload this mod with a simple version change to make it 'compatible' with 2.0. If you cannot wait for me to update this mod, download a copy of the latest version for 1.1 and change the version to 2.0 LOCALLY before placing it in your modfolder. I am not responsible for any errors arising from doing this.

###Transport Belts Transport belt costs have been reduced across the board, and all transport belts will craft in pairs of 2 like the standard transport belt.

##Costs Normal: Unchanged Fast: 6x gear, 2x transport belt Express: 12x gear, 2x fast transport belt, 10x lubricant

###Underground Belts Underground belts now consist of transport belts equivalent to the underground length, and some iron plates to create the underground sections.

##Alternate Costs With the setting enabled to use previous tiers, costs are: Normal: Unchanged Fast: 24x gear, 2x underground belt Express: 48x gear, 2x fast underground belt, 80x lubricant

###Splitters Splitters now consist of two of the tier belt equivalent to the splitter tier, and some additional gears and circuits.

###Options If you dislike items not requiring their previous tier in their recipe, you can turn this on with a modsetting. This will change the recipe retroactively, so you can change it mid-way through a game.
