About Companion Drones Limit

From Factorio Mod Portal

Adds a fixed limit to the amount of companion drones existing at once to stop them from being overpowered.

Overview

Companion Drones (or its fork) is a great alternative to mods like Nanobots or Construction Drones but it just feels really overpowered being able to create an army of companions that build and destroy everything you desire.

Features

This mod will give you the option to set a limit on how many companions are allowed on one surface at any point in time. This should hopefully balance the mod a bit more to make it enjoyable for those still seeking a challenge. The default is set to 4 but can be changed at any time in the settings to a value between 1 and 64.

Recommended mods

I highly recommend installing Companion Drones Rebalanced together with this mod as it provides other ways to balance the otherwise overpowered companion drones without making them completely useless.

Troubleshooting

Please make sure to create a new issue on the GitHub page if you encounter any problems with this mod.
