Hey folks!

I've decided to start taking swings at our very own conveyor belt system for Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Factory. Since I envision this will be a pretty expensive task to get right, I've opened up 35 additional Jade tier slots on Patreon!

In case you're unaware, becoming a Jade tier patron (15 USD) grants you a lifetime access to our Vanilla Expanded discord. Not only you get the feeling of helping us fund our developments, you can also see it first hand as we're very active on our discord server.

The discord access is for a lifetime. If you unsubscribe later, nobody will remove you from the server. Unless you break the rules, you're there to stay!

I'd also like to thank everyone who's supporting us right now. On moments like these, with a huge task ahead of me, I'm super grateful for such a commited community ready to support us!

Take care and see you on our discord!

Factories will be back soon, and better than ever!

The factory must grow, even om the rim…… But regarding the convector systeem, damn that sounds like a chore to get in right, but a worthwhile one if you manage to make it work (i can already see the raider to chemfuel factory in my mind). Good luck with it

Love seeing the conveyor belt idea coming to life, it would make the factory module complete

yeah, this is gonna be awesome, factories was so cool with the original mechanoids mod, though with some hilarious results like being able to take dessicated and rotten corpses into the grinder to get flesh, turn it into canned goods that were blank, so rotten soylent green for everyone The solo mechinator ship playthrough is gonna be awesome with this LOL

Quick question, have you played Factorio ? it great and as a big Factorio fan i wonder how much automation do you plan to have ? for the belt do you plan to add item filter, belt spliter, stack controller, can the belt pull and put items from stockage ?

I did play satisfactory, but we also need to remember that Rimworld wasn’t really built for this so we will go simple at first.

I love your work, but come March I doubt I'll continue to use Discord. I'm not uploading the necessary info and documentation to keep using it.

Oskar Potocki

Let’s not be too hasty with how it will all work. Our server doesn’t have any adult content so it’s unlikely ID will be needed to access it.

Hope there a way to sell to traders automatically, like you set up a contract to sell x amount of x to trader every x amount of time with like a pre programmed pod launcher. Thats my suggestion because i could definitely do it manually but this is factory and were gonna be making a lotta junk

Are you going to adapt the code used for Nutrient Paste Expanded? That would probably be easiest, with the added bonus of being able to build conveyors underground if needed. I know watching your stuff slowly move across conveyor belts as it gets processed would be super satisfying, but I would imagine it would be a strain on the game's resources. Anyway... still looking forward to this mod's re-release, with or without conveyor belts!

Oskar Potocki

Oh no pipe network code has nothing to do with conveyors capable of moving items. Pipe network can only have 1 resource. We need something capable actually moving the physical item.

Oh my god, am I seeing a factory building that allows choosing regular recipes and using the processor framework, plus supporting conveyor belts? This could be what I have looked for for ages, a mod that only does the core stuff of RimFactory instead of completely changing the game. Either I never found it or Mechanoids didn't have bill-crafting factories. Always wanted to use it instead of RimFactory for more simplicity, but it was then a bit too simplistic to me.

Where do jade teirs go to find the discord link?

Oskar Potocki

You need to link your discord account to your Patreon and the bot will automatically invite you to the server

Factorio is an *awesome* game and is currently competing with RimWorld for the title of "game I've played the most hours of" on Steam. For now, RimWorld is in the lead by far, but Factorio is catching up! Apparently, it's almost as mod-friendly as RimWorld, and I love all the new planets added by mods! However, expecting a RimWorld mod to even come close to its core mechanic is too much to ask, in my opinion. Of course, Oskar might take inspiration from it, or even adopt one feature or another. But RimWorld is a storytelling game, while Factorio is a factory builder by design. Taking a "go simple" approach is *exactly* the right thing to do, and I won't blame him for doing so.
