So I have intermittently played factorio. Scraped through a vanilla playthrough a while back and just did a more serious playthrough recently. I would like to move into using more mods, getting better at using trains and such. Are there any recommended mods for where I'm at to be able to keep moving forward without jumping to far into the deep end of complexity too fast and losing interest?

Krastorio 2 is the recommended overhaul mod after a vanilla playthrough. It makes the game somewhat harder than vanilla, although I don't really know what it contains as I never played through it.

Industrial Revolution 3 is another good choice.

Or you can jump off the deep end like me and start a Angels+Bobs map, but this is quite difficult dealing with many byproducts and thousands of recipies. Also, you don't need many trains to beat it, I beat the modpack with 3 train lines, but if you want to scale up trains would be useful.

Angels+Bobs really is jumping in the deep end. And IR3 has a very different early game.

Krastorio2 is mostly the same but more of it.
