Let's get some mod discussion going. Finally launched my first rocket early this year and have discovered the wonderful world of mods.

Personally, I've been playing a lot of seablock. For me, it is the best mod for doing it in small chunks. The lack of biters, the fact that I need to place landfill to start up a new area, it makes everything feel very intentional, I guess you could say. Versus normal factorio where expansion is the default.

Also have small SE and py saves going. SE only have the first few sciences and py only have basic power, so haven't really explored deep at all into those.

Ignoring mods that add just small things or add quality of life stuff.

Krastorio 2 was my first major overhaul mod, and it is a perfect start for that. Very vanilla mostly, limited amount of alternate recipes or byproducts you have to deal with, introduced slowly as not to overwhelm you. It just expands a lot more than vanilla Factorio.

I didn't really get along with some mods I tried that either expand the burner phase a lot (Industrial Revolution 2) or introduced a lot of different fluids with lots of byproducts very early on (Nullius?).
