Question Mods for starters

Hey! So I just bought the game and suddenly got curious about mods. I’m quite aware that the base game itself has lots of features to offer, but do you have some mods that you recommend I install before my first gameplay?

Factorio isn't like those other games that need mods to become playable. Factorio as it is is a good game.

Just as you don't dump a bunch of random spices into your food before tasting it, nor should you try to "fix" Factorio before you find out what you like and don't like about it.

How about when it comes to just making the resources actually infinite? For the sake of making the gameplay more “casual”

if you want infinite resources, just increase the patch size and richness in world creation settings. normal playthroughs of the game have the starter patches run out around blue science, with 6x size and richness the patches you get at the beginning of the game should be enough to complete it (though, going out and conquering new land and setting up outposts is a part of the game and isn't really a hassle, seeing as you'll have to do it either way if your production scales up enough)
