About Rail World Hard Presets

From Factorio Mod Portal

Custom 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
