About Rail World Hard Presets
From Factorio Mod PortalCustom map preset featuring a 'Rail World Hard' configuration. High density but far apart resources and expensive recipes. Biters won't be a thread at the begining but will expand.
Custom map preset featuring a "Rail World Hard" configuration.
Map preset similar to Vanilla Rail World & Marathon combined :
- Ore patches are very rare but very rich (which won't be a luxury with Expensive mode)
- Large water to make a more interesting map layout
- Expensive blueprint and research (x4) is enabled by default. Serious ressource sink requiring mass production designs.
- Ennemies are not Deathworld level and won't be attacking too early but will expand and become a threat mid game (recommanded to use Rampant AI for a challange).
- You'll have to fight for expansions and obviously use a sprawling train network !
This preset has been set without RSO but aim to give a similar experience with Vanilla settings and ease map fishing.
Compatibility
- Does not supports mods that remove vanilla ore spawn (like Bob's ore) but there will be no crash.
- Supports Angel's Refining ores : https://mods.factorio.com/mod/angelsrefining
- Supports YAIOM : https://mods.factorio.com/mod/yaiom
