Feel free to list any other mods, modpacks, or mod combinations that you think should be noted!

I'm currently playing OPRDB
OmniPyaeRampantDangoreusBravenewworld
I have a couple other mods and lots of smaller ones as well in there, schall, nee, science-causes-evolution (disable all other evolution sources), toxic forest
It's INSANELY SLOW to start, so be aware of that, 12+h to get science done
Also be aware of biters, they aren't evolving without you doing science but they are still a constant threat and resource drain
You'll be using schall wood turrets and wood darts to defend yourself
You'll be low on power for a while, you'll be low on wood, you'll be low on plates
You'll be low on everything but you'll have hopes of some day finally getting somewhere

What you need to give yourself at the start:
one automated factory from py otherwise you can't make the forestry wood farm and one burner omnitracktor otherwise you can't make iron ore

Goals:

  1. get more power
  2. make turrets
  3. get all the wood around you
  4. work towards science for wall tech
  5. get automation
  6. idk, I'm only here so far xD

There's also normal
OmniPyDangoreus
it's pretty space restricting because you mine out ore and it gets denser the further out you go
makes for very cool compact spaghetti 😄
I haven't played it yet tho, so can't tell too much about it

Py has really good graphics. Also, I would replace medium Py with Short py (probably move it to medium as well). Medium Py has some issues and hiccups

#

Amator phasma is an old one that I like

#

Fantario is another hidden gem

#

can the ATOM pack be added to the list?

#

Seablock imo is significantly bigger and complex than Exotic Industries or IR3, to me its a different league

# junior finch What is that?

All The Overhauls Modpack (SEK2 + BZ + 248k + 5dim + some bobs stuff and more). it’s been growing a lot recently

I feel like ultracube should be moved up to medium due to the sheer difference in gameplay. It's maybe not B+A levels but to me it seems a lot more different from vanilla than all the other ones in small. It might not add as much stuff as some of the other mods but in terms of how much it actually modifies gameplay I feel like it's above even some of the ones listed in medium. I definitely appreciate this list a ton though

#

I also would consider adding this modpack into small or maybe even an extra small category as it's super fun on principle alone even though it barely modifies big picture gameplay. Also gets rid of the more boring parts of Factorio such as finding more ore deposits, running long distances, and electric wiring:

Factorio Mod Portal
Factorissimo2 Inception - Factorio Mods

Start the game inside of a Factorissimo2 factory. No escape from the factory now!

#

It's not really a real overhaul but it requires a seperate save obviously And modifies the game more than something like ribbonworld. Only issue is that in rare cases the input feeders can break and you'll need editor extensions to fix it

is there a vanilla-friendly modpack that doesn't alter gameplay that you're aware. so this would be visuals, sounds, controls, things like that. If not any ideas how to find one?

to me those are vanilla friendly. (pollution color is to make shallow water same color as deep water)

You can decide what you consider QoL

#

No point having a modpack for it

west fossil
# junior finch Exactly, so instead I’ve just provided you with a list: https://discord.com/chan...

thank you. i thought you said mod discussions. sigh. i just glanced over your list above in this thread and thought, there not vanilla. beautiful game. here's the direct link to your post, thanks.
<#modded-chat message>

in modded discussion tweaks & utilities were suggested as good categories to look into. if you're curious why vanilla only or those mods, it's only cause i feel guilty giving myself steam achievements when mods disable that. lot of work todo. <#mod-dev-discussion message>

QoL huh? I have to give some thought what that means. Thanks for the warm thoughts and help Xorimuth

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/arcotorio
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/serotonin-overhaul

Factorio Mod Portal
Arcotorio - Factorio Mods

Mod that adds several different tiers of arcospheres, and changes every recipe to require arcospheres and arcosphere management all throughout the game. Recipes are automatically generated, so this should be compatible with most overhaul mods.

Factorio Mod Portal
Serotonin's Silly Overhaul - Factorio Mods

Overhaul mod that changes the vanilla recipes to be substantially more complicated. Designed to be a challenge.

Problem is that I’ve been butting against the message size limit on this one for a while

#

But I spot some more text that I can trim so I’ll add them later

#

What size would you put them in?

#

I'd also like to note that, because arcotorio is largely generated recipes, it can easily be compatible with most other overhauls

#

we are currently working to add all the compat we can

#

depending on how you view raw difficulty, SSO might go into small-ish (approximately 50 hours for a playthrough)
