AAI Loaders: Electric power

Makes all loaders created by Earendel's AAI Loaders mod powered via electricity rather than being free or requiring lubricant

Details

  • AAI Loaders mod is forced into "expensive" unlubricated mode, to make sure its lubricant supply scripting won't even try to run.
  • Unlubricated recipes adjusted to cost roughly 5 times less. Powering with electricity is itself simpler than supplying lubricant, so making loaders roughly 2 times more expensive than lubricant mode looks fair enough
  • All loaders now use Factorio's native energy system via "energy_source" property. This makes them run at native speeds. No scripting.
  • Base cost of each item transported is 6kJ, yet it lowers slightly with each speed tier above 15 items/s. As a result, normal loader is 92kW, fast is ~160kW and express is 218kW.

Known shortcomings

  • Loaders description says they have no cost. This is because localization wasn't touched at all
  • Recipe adjustment logic is very primitive, so may not always play as desired

Plans

  • Make lubricated mode work again, via Factorio's native power system
  • Balancing
  • Introduce recipes and localization overrides

Special thanks

  • Wube, for the awesome game
  • Earendel, for awesome standalone loaders mod
