Factorio mod for reasonably random science recipes

Serendipity : Random Science Pack Recipes in Factorio

Features

• Random science pack recipe that is highly reasonable
• You will get recipe in which is similar to original recipe:
  • Total raw resource count (ex: iron ore, coal, crude oil)
  • Total time to produce
  • Complexity
• Set recipe difficulty
• Set random seed to get same recipe as before
• Mod support

Notes

• Random seed must be changed in mod settings to generate new recipes
• Currently supports vanilla science pack only (ex: module lab from Bob's mod is not randomized)

Compatibility

• Incompatible with mods that removes vanilla science pack item
  • Mods that add science pack item is compatible (ex: Bob's mod)
• Mods that adds ridiculous item chain or tech might result in ridiculous recipe
  • Turning on double recipe option is recommended in such cases, so that you can discard that recipe

Possible Features

• Generate alternative science pack recipe (which is harder, but low cost)
• Support fixed recipe so that game doesn't break when items are changed by other mods
