Industrial Revolution 2

This mod has been retired and replaced with a new remix, Industrial Revolution 3.

IR2 is a remix of my original 2019 mod for Factorio 1.1. It might be a momentary diversion for folks who:

Aren't challenged by launching vanilla rockets any more and want a slower, longer and quirkier game
Need more crafting and materials complexity without it getting bonkers or feeling like a chemistry lesson
Like things to be pretty and nice

Features

A metric buttload of original sprites and animations. That's 0.9 imperial buttloads
Extended early game burner/steam phase, where getting to electricity and iron-working is the goal (skippable in map options)
New materials such as tin, rubber, glass, bronze, gold, lead, and chrome
Component generation system and new processes, including crushing, ore washing, alloying, metal-casting, electroplating
New machines, vehicles, and equipment, including primitive construction bots from the start
Great big drills from day one, because who likes building mining outposts anyway
Status lights on most electric machines, without any UPS-eating scripts
Trains, vehicles and personal equipment that can run on rechargeable batteries
A personal fuel manager that will automatically top up fuel in your power suit generators and vehicle
Expanded defence options, including additional turret types and reinforced walls
Scrapping system for recycling unwanted products
Proper teleporters with proper balance and other things that go "wom wom wom"
Easily missable details like recipe-based building damage and explosion shrapnel
