📋 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.

Items changed

Wood Ash

  • [] Module Increase: 15% --> 5%

    Chemical Fertilizer, Expert Planter, Happy Homesteader

    • [] Module Increase: 25% --> 8%

      Superphosphate Fertiliser

      • [] Module Increase: 35% --> 11%

        Alexander Hancock

          [] Producvity:  80% --> 50%

          [] Extra Potatoes: 1/8 --> 1/5

          [] Extra Output: +1/3 Default Output

          Cosmo Castelli

          • [] Module Increase:  35% --> 15%

            [] Producvity:   80% --> 0%

            [] Extra Output: +1/2 Default Output

            Every Items has been exceled to be good but not OP.

            If you think an item should be rebalanced feel free to suggest it.

Farm Module Items Overhaul rebalances all items that boost farm module counts, making basic items like Wood Ash and Fertilizers more efficient when farms run at 400% with Tractor Barns. A niche gameplay tweak for Factorio players optimizing late-game production, with 13 endorsements and last updated in November 2023.

✨ Key Features

Overhauls every item that increases module count for farms.
Adjusts basic items like Wood Ash and Fertilizers for better efficiency.
Optimized for farms running at 400% with Tractor Barns.

📊 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.
🎯 Is This For You?
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.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 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.
