Example of the ore generation: As you can see, every chunk does not have all the ores. Just as Factorio where you find the resources and ship them back to your factory. Lead/Silver are in every chunk, they are not a highly used resource. I've tweaked Redstone, Diamonds, Gold and Lapis which...

Hi all, I'm working on a Factorio in Minecraft style mod pack and I'm at the stage where I'm looking for Alpha Testers. For those not familiar with Factorio you have a research tree to unlock new technology, and you build up a factory who's primary function is to automatically craft the...

Been experimenting with the concept of "Biter Nests" in factorio. In this pack, a distance away from spawn, are various sand like mounds. I'll let you discover what they are. "They mostly come out at night" - newt

So, here's a thing I found... When you want a break from building the factory, there's always a bit of adventuring...

Daily update time (only because I'm off work on hols, but back next week - sadface ) EFab to the rescue again! Due to the issues with CraftTweaker compatibility with TechGuns, I've used the EFab to also be the Chemical Lab, as a result you can now: Turn Coal + Gasoline into Plastic (detailed...

Had one of those days where you've not achieved much, but have been tinkering all day. Now I wonder what I've just been looking at: I've moved Plastic creation to the EFab, with Gas + Coal recipe similar to Factorio. I'll be able to use the EFab for Coal Liquification, but the ability to...

Was "stress" testing the Metal Presses, looks like to keep a constant flow of Plates, you'll need 8 presses. With 4 there is still backlog. Going to be a lovely noisy factory.

I've had a good old think about the military side of things, and have split it into two chapters. The new chapter are the advanced "fun toys" and completely optional. The main military research unlocks a branch of weapons, and you choose then which weapon to research, more options than Factorio...

What about an alternative approach, and have the drops as ores? https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/fun-ores?gameCategorySlug=mc-mods&projectID=228011 It's apparently configurable so you can turn off the extra fluff.

Thanks guys. Thanks should go to the Factorio Devs and the mod makers. I've just taken the pieces and assembled this puzzle. I've been looking at the TechGuns mod and working out how to implement this. First, a preview of the various machine blocks: Various 1 block sized machines for...

Just a demonstration of early game ore processing (on the left, on the right is an alternative way to split and supply coal to the furnaces). Furnaces are basically hidden under belts and blocks on this left hand setup. Plus the usual chests as buffers that are always needed in Minecraft...

I think I'm at a point where it would be beneficial to get some "pre-alpha" feedback on the direction of the quest book & recipe changes. Stages are not yet implemented and most of the "research tree" is implemented up to green tier (and some blue tier sneaking in). Anyone willing to give it a...

No signals, so you'll only be able to do Point A to Point B and back.

Two mods. Transport (by SkySomm) which adds a Item Loader (and unloader) and a Holding Rail. The Item Loader is a block when placed next to any inventory (including chest carts) pulls (or pushes) a stack a tick. Better Railroads (by Creator126) that adds a whole load of track types with...

Immersive Engineering has released an update, and it has something I'm personally excited about. Extractor Conveyor Belt Finally! It has the same speed as a hopper, but gives you side extraction instead of hopper only downwards extractor. This means I can now push the Inserter as a...

No worries, little old impatient me. Just thought I was going crazier, I could see the gap for text, but no text.

No story to go with the pictures?

So was playing around with the boilers again, and discovered I can use the IE Fluid Pipes if I use a pump on top of the boiler. So a bit of adjusting, and here's a possible setup (energy cells would be IE Capacitors). Add a conveyor coal line to the boilers, and it's definitely got that Factorio...

I did try using ducts to put stuff into a cart, but no joy. The Transport Mod has a nice solution though that works from any side of a cart (or any inventory).

Today mods have been driving me nuts :D I've found there's no way to interact with a Minechest + Cart unless you use a Hopper. So while you can transport vast amounts of items this way, loading and unload the Cart is the bottleneck. @KingTriaxx has just made me aware of a mod that might be the...
