📋 About This Mod
Warptorio2 but the planets thing is a standalone library that can be used by anyone to make and work with planets, surface templates, and simple automation and management of surface-specific events (e.g. only raised if an entity is built on that planets surface) and chunk generation.
Planetorio is a standalone library derived from Warptorio2 that lets modders create and manage planets, surface templates, and surface-specific events in Factorio. It handles chunk generation and event automation, making it a foundational tool for planet-based mods. With 37,646 downloads, it's a niche but useful resource for mod developers.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- 37,646 downloads show it's got traction in the modding community.
- Pulls the planet system out of Warptorio2 so you don't need that whole mod to use it.
- Event automation per surface is a huge time-saver for complex planet mods.
⚠️ Cons
- Endorsement count is negative (-0.067), which is weird and might indicate some community backlash or a glitch.
- Last updated in May 2023, so it might not be compatible with the latest Factorio versions.
- It's a library, not a content mod, so if you're not a modder, it's useless on its own.
This is for Factorio mod developers who want to add custom planets or surface mechanics without reinventing the wheel. If you're a player looking for new content, this isn't for you—it's a tool to build other mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're a modder, check the Warptorio2 source to see how Planetorio is used in practice.
- Use the surface-specific event system to trigger logic only on certain planets, which keeps performance tight.
- Test chunk generation early to avoid surprises with terrain and resource placement.
