About QuirkyCat Wood
From Factorio Mod PortalThis mod is superseded by my Useful_Wood mod. A mod to make wood more useful in the game. Makes the early game (on Nauvis) longer by extending production lines to include wood production and products. Trees are no longer the real enemy.

- Trees have a chance to drop seeds
- Get sand and minerals from stone and process these into glass
- Grow seeds into trees in a greenhouse made from glass (and wood, obviously)
- Chop trees into wood which also generates plant waste
- Manage the plant waste by turning it into useful products
- Green, red and blue circuits are built using various circuit boards all based on wood products
- Many recipes now use wood
Works well with my Slag Recycling and Uranium Changes mods.
Not recommended for adding to an existing game; start a new playthrough.
Designed to require only Factorio 2.0 but with Space Age in mind. Any future developments that require Space Age will be done as a separate mod.
All QuirkyCat mods designed to work together:
- QuirkyCat Wood
- QuirkyCat Recycle
- QuirkyCat Uranium Changes
Recommend the use of: A robot start mod A large chest or merge chest mod A loader mod
