MAKE FACTORIO MEAN AGAIN
Are you tired of:
- Mods that try to hold your hand?
- Mods that are boring, shallow, and repetitive?
- Mods that patronize you and treat you like a dummy?
Are you tired of mods that exist just to be nice?
Are you looking for:
- Something loud and disruptive?
- Something inspired and different?
- Something that fundamentally changes the way you approach the game?
Boy has GIZMOD HARDMODE got something for you!
Warning: this mod contains zero legacy silt and may cause panic, an impending sense of doom, feelings of dread and despair, existential crises, and a distinct awareness of your own mortality.
☑ Buildings require stone-brick-or-better foundation with bootstrap/drill/chest exceptions ☑ Radar unlocks at Advanced Combinators ☑ Remote map view is unavailable until radar is unlocked. ☑ Destroy player's armor (not inventory contents) on death ☑ Player's health does not regenerate ☑ Remove the basic furnace from the game, replace with crude little foundry ☑ Oil products are flammable and will catch fire and explode if their container is destroyed ☑ Disable dumping into lava or off of space platforms ☑ Hide the technology tree ☑ Enable/enforce friendly fire for all weapons, damage types, and entities ☑ Require bottling of science before researching with it ☑ Military science bottles erupt in a large explosion after a configurable amount of time ☑ Normal offshore pumps cost electricity (1.2 megawatt) ☑ Ship wreckage drops stuff when mined.
- One stuff is a mysterious pump that pumps 6000 units/sec for free
- Another stuff is a nuclear generator that functions at '97% efficiency and 12x nuclear fuel
- These are worse than they sound
☑ When mined, placeable entities return simple-scrap ☑ There is a disappointing simple-recycler to dispose of most of your mistakes
