I have been playing Factorio for some time now. I really want to get started playing one of the overhauls. But which one? I find it hard to get a good overview of the different options.

Which overhaul mods do you all play?

I second Krastorio 2 as a good first step out of vanilla. I've also played Industrial Revolution, which was OK but I didn't finish it. I played SE with my partner but it was way too complicated and difficult for me. You have to really understand how to program using circuit networks.

Baketorio was kind of funny. You have to make bread, desserts, milk, etc.

I'm in the same boat as you after my fist vanilla play through, I went with space exploration and krastorio. I even built a base in the orbit of the first planet. But it is pretty longwinded. And it was also kind of boring/tedious/unenjoyable (for me) to ship all this resources with rockets between bases.

On my current run with krastorio only I am having a blast.

Also install all the quality of live mods. Squeak through especially. No more oh no I need to break this solar field partially down because I cannot leave any more.

Bottleneck is another good QOL mod
