Lambent Nil

HBy half_a_cat

A Nullius extension that integrates phosphorus chemistry and extends the electronics production chain. Phosphorus is mined from phosphorite and used in electronics and biochemistry. This mod follows Nullius's style of richly interacting intermediates, byproducts, and alternative recipes.

Lambent Nil

Description

Lambent Nil extends Nullius with phosphorus (and fluorine, if enabled in the mod settings). Phosphorus is a rare resource that is essential to life and has speciality uses in refining and manufacturing. Use traces of phosphorus in vacuum chambers, a precursor to nanotechnology, to manufacture silicon circuits. Upgrade your industrial processes after researching boron doping and electron beams. Use phosphate to synthesize and feed new life.

Concentrated sources of phosphorus are hard to find. Fortunately, your factory only needs small amounts initially. As the factory expands, you will need to supplement the limited ore supply with phosphate recovered from calcite, industrial waste, and biological waste.

If you are looking for an additional challenge, enable the Fluorapatite mod setting. Phosphorite will yield both phosphorus and fluorine; additionally, mined calcite will contain traces of fluorite. Fluorine is used in refrigerant and fluoropolymers. Fluorine merits careful management, as its production and disposal are coupled to other resource streams.

For Nullius players: This mod should be played as a new game, because it adds a new ore and modifies some of Nullius's recipes. The early game is unchanged until silicon ingot production.
