📋 About This Mod
This mod overhauls every Item that increases module count for farms. All Basic items items like Wood Ash or Fertilizers are set to give just a bit more efficient (Modules used for t/min) when the farm is running at 400% (Tractor Barn and two 50% Productivity Items). Per default those items would actually lower the efficiency. Alexander Hancock now produces more Potatos and an extra 1/3 Default Output the farm produces. Cosmo Castelli now produces 1/2 Default Output. But has no Productivity boost anymore.
In Vanilla Anno 1800 all Items increasing the module Limit of Farms are basically a waste of money as soon as you get the tractor barn.
This mod tries changes those items to be valuable but non-op.
Why change from Productivity to additional Output?
Productivity is additive. That means it adds to all other items. If you add a 50% bonus to a building that already has 200% it will not multiply with those 200% but instead add to it. So your 50% boost increases the total to 250%.
Additional Output is multiplicative. It benefits from any item or effect increasing the productivity used for the farms.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tightly focused on a specific optimization niche—if you're chasing max farm output, this is for you.
- Small but active community (13 endorsements, 617 downloads) suggests it works for those who need it.
- Simple concept: rebalance existing items, no new assets or complicated mechanics.
⚠️ Cons
- Very niche—if you don't run 400% farms with Tractor Barns, this mod does nothing for you.
- Low endorsement count (13) means it's not widely tested; expect potential balance quirks.
- Last updated over a year ago (Nov 2023)—may not be compatible with the latest game version.
For Factorio players who min-max farm production and want basic items to be more efficient at high overclock levels. Skip if you're not deep into late-game optimization or prefer vanilla balance.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure your farm is actually running at 400% with Tractor Barns before expecting changes—otherwise you won't see any difference.
- Check the mod's forum page for any reported compatibility issues with your current game version, since it hasn't been updated recently.
- If you use other farm-related mods, test them together in a sandbox save to avoid conflicts.
