✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (277k) and nearly 30k endorsements show it's a community favorite.
- Ships that work like trains means you can use your existing rail logic for sea routes.
- Tanker ships add a new layer for liquid transport, which is a nice bonus.
⚠️ Cons
- Version 2.1 requires a separate Oil Rigs mod, which is an extra step and potential compatibility headache.
- If you're not into logistics or water-based transport, this might not add much to your playthrough.
- With a mod this popular, there's a risk of conflicts with other content mods that alter the map or water.
This is for Factorio players who love expanding their logistics networks beyond land and want a new challenge in sea transport. It's also great for those who enjoy building massive, complex supply chains and want to use trains-like mechanics on water.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on version 2.1, remember to grab the Oil Rigs mod separately or you'll miss out on that content.
- Plan your shipping lanes like you would train tracks—signals and intersections matter to avoid jams.
- Use tanker ships for oil transport to free up your train network for other goods.
