Goal

Decide between Tier 1 (vanilla 2.0 + lightweight QoL) and Tier 2 (Space Age + Earendel companions + biomes) for the opening Sirens factorio session. Mod stacks are documented at https://github.com/coilysiren/infrastructure/issues/77#issuecomment-4358784979.

The world that came up on 2026-05-01 is q4-2025.zip - a Space Age 2.0.72 save. So Tier 2 is already implied by the save unless we regenerate.

Decision shape

  • T1 (vanilla 2.0 + 11 QoL mods): regenerate the world without Space Age, keep entry friction near zero. Most appropriate if the friend group is mostly returning-to-factorio.
  • T2 (SA + Earendel companions + Alien Biomes): keep current save shape. Most appropriate if at least one player is an experienced SA player (which is the case per existing channel signal).

If T2

  • Drop the mod ZIPs + mod-list.json into /home/kai/Steam/steamapps/common/FactorioServer/mods/. Mods that were specifically requested in the channel:
    • LTN
    • Squeak Through
    • Long Reach / Far Reach
    • WideChests / Merging Chests
    • Advanced Solar HR (T2/T3)
  • Plus the SA companion mods (AAI Containers, Equipment Gantry, Shield Projector, Combat Mechanics Overhaul, AAI Signal Transmission, Robot Attrition, Informatron, Bullet Trails, Alien Biomes).
  • Wire up coily gaming factorio mods sync (mod creation idea #4 from #77) before this gets out of hand.

Done when

  • Decision recorded
  • If T1: world regenerated, vanilla + QoL stack installed
  • If T2: companion mod stack installed, mod-list.json reflects intent
  • First session played, no compat surprises

Tracking from: #77
