What?

This project serves as a couple different things, with a few distinct goals in mind...

Content

At the core of everything, we look to create a large amount of new content and new experiences. By creating hundreds of things to interact with, we hope a lot of new and interesting experiences can arise from this project.

A Framework

Every aspect, feature, implementation, and internal tool was built to be extensible and injectable. Allowing the creation of third-party plugins, tools, or content expansions.

Someone could easily:

build an entire mod ecosystem around the existing systems.

create hundreds of new items, enemies, interactions, etc... via simple JSON.

Create modules that add new linked systems

We are working to provide everything needed to completely expand on our features.

Why?

This mod was originally built from the idea of adding just a few new turrets to a co-op run with friends.

A few turrets
Some QOL stuff

We then transition to a small combat overhaul that added more turrets and some new weapons.

A few new weapons
Some new ammo
More turrets
Walls and buildings

Shortly after we realized that the players progression and the enemies both needed a lot of new tools to create something more complex.

Both bullet-heaven's and arpg's served as inspiration when creating this mod. The complexity, and depth, of both seemed to compliment the loop of growing your factory.

Player progression, levels, new stats
Gear progression, builds, theory-crafting
Fast moving, fast firing combat
Consistent bosses, rare unlocks, etc..

This mod is a big shift in tone and style for factorio. We hope that it's been executed well, and provides more things to work towards.
