Technology

To change properties of your technology, you can add a table on your technology declaration

{
    type = "technology",
    name = "rocket-booster",
    -- Technology stuff ... 

    nobelium_science = {
        -- Nobelium stuff ...
    }
}

Fields

add_minimum: string?

This automatically add missing science packs for the stage of your technology. This takes in a specific string value:

  • "post-promethium": This will add all the vanilla space age science packs + all the science packs that are set as "pre-promethium".
  • "post-nobelium": This will add the science packs from "post-promethium" + all the science packs that are set as "pre-nobelium" (This include the ones with nobelium_override not set).

Sadly, the standard factorio API doesn't have a clear way to say "This is a science pack". So modded science packs cannot be easily recognized.

This means only science packs that either:

  • Have nobelium_science.progress_stage set
  • Are able to be put in the base vanilla lab

... can be autoadded
