multiple dimensions

[funCrafter]

would it be possible to mod another dimension?
like in minecraft when you go through a portal and a new world generates.
because i think i have a nice idea for a mod and want to know if its possible

Yes, this is possible, in Factorio they are called surfaces.

Mods can create surfaces and define the map settings for each surface individually using LuaGameScript.create_surface(name, settings) and then operate on them using the methods provided by LuaSurface.

I don't know many mods that use this functionality though, the most prominent example would be
https://mods.factorio.com/mods/MagmaMcFry/Factorissimo
in which you can create small buildings you can walk into that have a larger size inside and you are able to transfer items/fluids with belts and pipes between the inside and outside.

Other mods that use surfaces but haven't been updated to the latest 0.14:
https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Simcra/Surfaces (for 0.13)
Subsurfaces 0.0.4 : build beneath your base (for 0.12)
