Satisfying Alternate Recipe System

#Want a little Satisfactory in your Factorio?

This mod gives you Satisfactory Hard Drive style alternate recipes for many intermediate ingredients!

There is a small chance to randomly unlock one with each technology you research (by default 5%, but customizable in the Map settings), and that likelihood also slowly increases over time, making it more and more likely you'll unlock them as you progress. Finally, upon researching the technology that gives you the Rocket Silo, you will immediately unlock any and all remaining alternate recipes.

#But Why? These alternates are not meant to be easier or harder or more efficient or less efficient... they are intended to be different. Just, use different ratios of different ingredients, where more complexity generally yields more results, in order to allow for more flexible factories that don't all have the exact same ratio of iron/copper/stone/coal/oil usage as everybody else's.

#Planned features -Check if the rocket silo has already been researched

#Recipes so far STRONGLY RECOMMENDED YOU DO NOT READ THIS LIST. Discover them naturally in-game like you would randomly get them in Satisfactory!

I am open to suggestions! Feel free to suggest new alternate recipes or modifications to existing recipes. Just give it a bit of justification--all my recipes are intended to be at least somewhat believable.

Some recipes use items from Factorio+ such as Sand or Aluminium. These are optional; the mod does not need to be installed.
