About [Alpha] Digest-ED (digestion education)
From Factorio Mod PortalEver wondered how your body processes a Schnitzel? This mod turns Factorio's production chains into a working model of the human digestive system - learn biology by building it. (first version - little content so far)
Digestion System – Learning Mod
[Alpha - which means I have many ideas and feedback I want to implement as I go along. Please let me know what you would like to see in future updates!]
Starting from raw food resources (new ore/items), you'll process ingredients through Mouth, Stomach, Small Intestine, Large Intestine and more (assembler with new recipes), breaking down nutrients into Glucose, Amino Acids, Fatty Acids and waste - almost like the real thing.
Designed to teach passively. Every recipe and item comes with biological context, so you absorb how digestion works simply by playing. Planned features: More food types with different nutrient profiles, deeper biological detail, and expanded use for byproducts.
💡 Recommended: Try it with cheat mode! To quickly explore all recipes and production chains without grinding resources, open the console with ~ (the key left of 1), then type /cheat and hit Enter. This gives you unlimited items instantly - perfect for understanding the full digestion pipeline before building it for real.
this is my first Mod - super happy for feedback!
Since Im Not am programmer I use Claude Code and existing mods + trial and error.
credits to MrEktidd - without his mods i wouldn't have been able to copy my way through xD <3
