Good News Everyone.

We once again have a dedicated game server running, and a new name to go with it. You may find us in the server browser by searching for Fun With Factorio. Click the gear icon to the left to keep us at the top of the list.

game server: fwf.factorio.prymaldark.com:34197
discord: discord.gg/pA85uHB

Due to a number of factors, including low memberhsip, I am not renewing the server at this time. I will not delete the group just yet; and will post updates here if I reenable the game server.

Thank you all for playing.

Well, the server is running again. I've kept the latest map as a testbed for the new modpack.

Several of the mods are still in testing, so record and share any bugs you encounter. Also, make notes regarding balance.

I'll add the PrymalDynamics mods to the mod portal once they stabilize.

The downloaded modpack currently has a couple extra mods that need to be disabled due to the current map still having the scenario features. Namely, autodeconstruct, autofill, and rso.

Sorry, everyone, for the unexpected downtime.

Our base stalled out; we're out of iron, and don't have the military resources to secure another. I'm working on getting a new map started, but it is not yet available. I'm tweaking the modlist, as well as a few of the mods themselves, to help provide a better experience.

Currently, I'm working to give a booster pack to jumpstart the base, so we don't have to spend hours on the burner stage. I'm trying to implement this as a base-wide gift, instead of to everyone that joins. Any preferences on what to include in this kit?

I'm also putting in a variation of TinyStart so that new members will have a simple bot-building setup right from the beginning. I'm using Uranium Robots to reduce the charge requirements, and considering making them indestructable as well, but this might not make it into the next map. Since the robots don't need to charge, I'm considering adding some other equipment to the setup; mainly night-vision and exoskeletons, but perhaps some minor shielding as well. These equipment changes likely may not make it into this next map.

I'm trying to modify as few mods as possible, to prevent compatibility issues. I'll release any changed projects in a way that will not prevent you from using the original for other games and/or servers. As a side note, should I make these tweaked mods available to the mod portal, or only through the Archive Link here on the Steam Group?

I'm having problems getting the scenario to use a new seed, so as of now, the next map will not have the soft-mods from Enhanced Vanilla. A shame, as I enjoy the roles, and was working on adding an info button. If you have any idea of how to fix this seed issue, please, let me know.

Please post in the discussion board if you have any ideas/preferences to voice regarding these topics.
