I loved Factorio, but only played vanilla.

I find that every time I mod up a game (e.g. Fallout 3, NV, 4), I find the bugginess and lack of consistency just inevitably ruins it after a few cheap thrills. So I wasn't about to do that to Factorio.

I'm super excited for this expansion--I miss the days playing til 5AM with my friends (and we all have work the next day at 9AM), because we literally couldn't put the game down. Brings me back to childhood.

Factorio has at least one mod that is the complete opposite of buggy and inconsistent :

I might give it a try, what do you especially like about this mod compared to others?

I don't even especially like this mod, because I don't mind some jankiness in mods, it's just that this one is done with such care, it feels more polished than most finished games.

I haven't finished it, but I really liked the very early game monowheel vehicle. Oh, also the burner lamps, and the research notifications, in fact so much I add them to all my games now, regardless of the modpack !
