About Quality of Life research (2.1 fork)

From Factorio Mod Portal

The mod adds a bunch of Quality of Life researches/bonuses to the game. You can configure it to cherry pick which ones you want.

qol_research adds a configurable research tree of QoL character bonuses, applied as proper technology effects (so they survive reset_technology_effects and play nicely with other mods).

Bonuses:

  • In-hand crafting speed
  • Inventory size
  • Player mining speed
  • Movement (running) speed
  • Player reach (build / item-drop / resource-reach / reach distance)

Features:

  • Every bonus is a real technology with science-pack costs, levels and (where configured) infinite research tiers.
  • Startup setting to enable/disable each category.
  • Runtime settings for a flat bonus and a global multiplier per category.
  • Fully custom tech trees via a custom configuration string.
  • Built-in compatibility configs for Space Exploration and Krastorio 2.

Community-maintained fork of the original "qol_research" by Aidiakapi, updated for Factorio 2.1. No code logic was changed. Original mod is licensed under ISC.
