I'd love a mod that actually respected the true materials/engineering recipes in real life.
Obviously, you can't recreate the complete complexity of all global supply chains, but it would be nice for a mod to get a little closer.
Standard factorio glosses over way too much to be considered educational, which is what i need before I get my son addicted with me. (Yes, i know standard Factorio still has a lot to offer - i just want more detail)
- fattless 3y agoFair but id offer that having more "realistic" recipies and those details would still offer far less than understanding and practicing the engineering process. Finding efficient solutions to your problems and engineering them over and over again for efficiency teaches excellent problem solving and engineering skills that would be hugely beneficial, imo more important than learning the specific materials that make each item irl.

- BlueTemplar 3y agoMost of the overhaul mods get closer, more or less depending on the mod : https://youtu.be/dY2nxVNBHQs?&t=3m41s https://youtu.be/dY2nxVNBHQs?&t=3m41s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethyldichlorosilane https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethyldichlorosilane There are also mods that make it more realistic in a different way : https://mods.factorio.com/mod/belt-overflow https://mods.factorio.com/mod/belt-overflow
