A simple mod that adds decorative elements to beautify your factory. New technology research is required to unlock the various items before they can be crafted and some default recipes are adjusted to better reflect how these items should be made.
Inspiration for the mod came from a lot of other mods on the Factorio mod portal, although all the assets in Dectorio have been custom made for this mod and are either modified versions of base game assets or created from scratch. If you'd like to use any of these in your own mod, please observe the GNU GPLv3 license.
Requires Factorio version 0.15 or later.
Download the latest stable release from the Factorio mod portal or at https://github.com/jpanther/Dectorio/releases/latest and copy the entire zip file to your Factorio mods directory:
- Windows:
%appdata%\Factorio\mods - Mac:
~/Library/Application Support/factorio/mods/ - Linux:

Note: If playing with Factorio 0.15, please download v0.7.6, or for Factorio 0.16, please download v0.8.11 as these are the last stable versions supported on these base game releases. v0.9.0 and later are only supported on Factorio 0.17.
When you launch the game, the new mod will be enabled by default.

Changes on existing games will require content to be migrated and some items may be lost if you disable components you've already used on an existing save. Always make a backup first!

Limited testing has been completed with other mods. Warnings will be shown in-game to highlight any known issues. If you come across a specific compatibility issue, please let me know and I'll see what I can do to fix it.
It is not recommended to use other coloured signal mods at the same time as Dectorio. This can cause coloured signals to be overwritten multiple times and lead to game-breaking compatibility issues with other mods. If you would like more colours, you can add these in the Dectorio config.lua file (instructions are in the file).
Dectorio includes specific support for Alien Biomes.
Other mods with additional Dectorio support (thanks!): Concreep, Fully Automated Rail Layer (FARL), Pavement Drive Assist.
Other decorative mods worth checking out (all compatible with Dectorio): Asphalt Roads, Beautiful Bridge Railway, Color Coding, Naked Rails, Reinforced Walls.
Mods with known compatibility issues with Dectorio (either don't install these, or edit your mod settings and disable the conflicting components in Dectorio): Expanded Color Lamps.
Refer to the CHANGELOG for a detailed list of changes in each version. The changelog is also available in-game from the Mods screen.
