What game is improved the most by mods? (beehaw.org)

I know most of the Bethesda RPGs have massive mod support, and there's games like Minecraft that have more mods than anyone can imagine. I would consider those games pretty playable in their vanilla states. Would you say there are any games that were "saved" by modding? Or that are still kept alive by thriving modding communities? What are some of your favorite mods?

Factorio all the way. Get bored of finishing the game, or crafting the perfect megabases? Prepare for mods that can take 1000s of hours to finish. Perfection.

As always, the factory must grow.

I got 500 hours in Factorio before tying mods, and over 2000 since (1000+ in an SE run alone). It's been a year or so, maybe time to start up another game...

It is absolutely time to start up another game. After all, the factory must grow.

That having been said, having a lot of fun trying to optimise everything. Still fairly new to the game myself (~200 hours) but it’s been a blast. It’s so addictive.

One of the great things about Factorio is the ability to pick and choose parts of a lot of modpacks. After first encountering Bob's adjustable inserters on a B+A playthrough, I can't play without them, and they work great without the rest of the Bob's pack.

I'm going to have to look that one up; been scared to mix and match from different modpacks without understanding the modpack, but might need to do just that. That having been said, I am running an absolute ton of mods, mostly convenience.
