This is my first devlog about me working on an Overhaul mod for Factorio. Come join me. It'll be interesting.
I a math, programming and maker ed teacher who also sometimes plays games, and now designs them in his brief hobby-time each day. This means my devlog should have a lot of information for people to glean if they want to get involved in modding too, so if you've always had a big idea, hopefully you'll get something out of this.
Making an overhaul mod is a HUGE ask, and now that I'm some ways in, I don't know what the future holds. I am now realizing just how much of an ask this is. Still, even knowing this for a future modder is useful.
Thank you to everyone who helped me so far. There's a LOT of you and I am deeply appreciative of the time and effort you spent in answering my numerous questions. :)
