> This is a mod that seems extremely boring and tedious. It doesn't have to be, though. I'm currently playing Space Exploration + Krastorio 2. Krastorio modifies the early/mid game, Space Exploration meddles a little with the early game, but most of it is late game. There are a few more inputs required for things so they can get more complicated. And with Krastorio the early game is extended (you have "burner" versions of the science lab and assembly machines). So yes, earlier game is a little slower. On the other hand, it gives you stuff to make up for it. You don't require as much science(at least, before space) and there are things like core miners, which provide infinite resources so you don't have to keep moving miners. Also new power generation. I guess that it depends on what you want to do. Base Factorio you either play until you launch the rocket, or you move on to megabases. If you want to do that, it's perfectly fine. However if you want to keep playing, it's a lot of the same, only bigger. Space Exploration essentially _starts_ once you launch the rocket. I don't want to do megabases so it seems ok with me. Also, spaceships :)
