Devlog 2 The Development Cycle 2

This is my second devlog about me working on an Overhaul mod for Factorio. Come join me. It'll be interesting.

I'm a math, programming and maker-ed teacher who designs games in his brief hobby-time each day. This means my devlog should have a lot of information for people to glean if they want to get involved in modding too, so if you've always had a big idea, hopefully you'll get something out of this.

Thank you to everyone who helped me so far. There's a LOT of you and I am deeply appreciative of the time and effort you spent in answering my numerous questions. :)
