Factorio mod related feedback:

1) Looks like the pollution sink upgrade also buffs pollution generation or some other issue with them. (And sink also in prod. column with negative mag. at info panel)

I have anything positive except pollution which also good. Then buy buff and get negative seeds with relatvely same pollution ratio.

2) It's good to have some way to assign 0 or max machines like ctrl-click or additional buttons.

3) Pollution panel very awkward with sing at bottom. Maybe good to add resource type flag (dev not player) to invert color for warnings and order of generators/consumers to these type of resurces.

In current state it is feels a bit cumbersome and lack of features. But as Factorio mods player it's expected results.

Playing in mod mode, I expected full research tree with simplified mechanics to compensate lack of spatial features.

Other mods modes on queue to check.

And just thoughts:

I tried something like your game myself. Based on Satisfactorio resource loop but incremental.

With main idea in diff. locations to mine diff. resources with limited space to upgrade and may be one-dimensional travel like SpaceAge platforms to fight mobs (auto fighter like based on amount of turrets) as obstacle to other locations. With req. to craft guns and ammo to protect logistics.

I meant it's feels cool if possible to upgrade some buildings keeping ratios, but it's mostly kills current gameplay.

But maybe if you like this idea with places, it's can be good as per location feature because main focus shifted to exploration and cross-location logistics. But I understand, it's far from current game idea.

I checked also DSP and Satisfactory modes.

FactoryTime original mode most interested as new and relative balanced.

DSP has best ratio=interesting*QOL/difficulty but too short. (I even see still locked building, but can't find way to unlock it) (But I barely played in original game and that can give additional interest)

Factory feels most completed but sometime boring and anxiety at same time.

Satisfactory I even don't finished, because I hate gathering biomass even at original, and incremental version get worse part of it for me. Besides this, its good.

My wishlist of features and QOL in random order:

1) Show correct resource drain when partially no energy. (Or graph to analyze, maybe as upgrade)

2) 0-half-max assign controls.

3) Consolidate and make coherent info about resources. (Show isn't only active gains/drains, but possible candidates also with per dev per type magnitude)

4) Dev or user defined togglable flag, to mark resource as good when decreasing.

5) Possibility to hide unneeded old versions of devices. (in resources and recipes)

6) Manual rearrangement of recipe list. (maybe as upgrade like control panel shortcuts)

7) Possibility to lock info panel onto some res/dev to examine with hovering over tooltips.

8) Better tooltips with recipes etc.

9) Maybe crafting queue or at least craft x10 button. (Or better balance)
