Ever played VFE - Mechanoids and thought, "These factories are cool, but they just don’t seem worth it?"
I thought the same, which is why I created this mod! I’ve overhauled research costs, building costs, and recipe values to make factories a more viable option for resource production.
Now, you won’t have to dump thousands of pounds of resources just to get mediocre results. And after installing this mod the only thing that will enter your mind is: "The factory must grow, the factory must grow, the factory must grow."
If you feel I’ve messed up the balance somewhere, please leave a comment! (And the same goes if you find a bug — make sure to include a Hugslib log.)
This mod also includes patches for the following mod-exclusive factories:
- Vanilla Brewing Expanded
- Vanilla Brewing Expanded - Coffees and Teas
- Vanilla Cooking Expanded
- Vanilla Fishing Expanded

Q: CE Compatible?
A: It just changes some prices id hope it would be compatible.
Q: Compatible with Progression: Robotics?
A: Yes
Q: Compatible with No Factory Floor Requirement?
A: Yes but the floor price will change by 1 steel depending on what mod was loaded last (My mod makes it 3 that mod makes it 2)
Q: But muh balance!
A: I tried my best to keep things balanced while also keeping things fun. If you think something is off, let me know!
Q: Save game compatible?
A: Should be safe to add but could be dangerous to remove if any recipes are ongoing.
