The Factory module adds an additional layer of complexity to the crafting portion of the mod. The general theme of the Factory module is increased resource efficiency with a large upfront price. For example, the Coke Oven doubles the fuel value of your coal while producing useful Creosote Oil, while the Rolling Machine allows you turn excess metals from other mods into useful items, and the Blast Furnace doubles how much you can make with your iron ore.

If the Factory module is not enabled, the recipes for many items will be simpler though often several times more expensive.

Modules can be disabled in the “modules.cfg” file.
