Planet Pelagos

Planet Pelagos

Welcome to Pelagos. Insular planet rich in tropical coconut palms, methane deposits, and mysterious lifeforms. Harvest coconuts, process them into oil, sealant, and biofuels, experiment with fermentation, and use high-temperature calciners to improve smelting processes in your factory.

Build around THE Cargo Ships mod

Cargo Ships mod

• Essential dependency
• I love Cargo ships mod, but I always find it difficult to fit into vanilla game.
• I have tried dredgeworks with wayward seas , but they replace vanilla gleba progression which is my favourite planet.
• So I created a planet-mod designed around using ships as the main transportation option unlocked on planet.

Canal Excavator mod

Canal Excavator mod

• Essential dependency
• You can't find stone patches on Pelagos. But you can mine ground with Canal Excavator.

1. Mine big rock on Pelagos to unlock it.
2. Craft an Excavatable surface
3. Mine it with the excavator to get some stone

New Pollution type: Electromagnetic waves

Electromagnetic Waves are produced by every electric machine and most generators. Interestingly, burner and diesel machines are considered more ecological here. This pollution type is only present on Pelagos

Calciner

• A big fluid-powered furnace.
• Can and should be used like regular furnace.
• Provides an extra 50% productivity.
• Allows the high-temperature purification and transformation of raw materials into refined minerals.
• Should accept any fluid with "Fuel Value". Check fluids like light oil in game wiki

Diesel Machines

• Fuel-powered machines that run on liquid fuels instead of electricity.
• Allows off-grid automation but requires constant fuel supply.

Deep sea and wooden platform

The deep sea of Pelagos is a place where you can’t place landfill. The good thing is that you can use something other than foundations. Wooden platforms are modular surfaces that allow you to place selected machines and infrastructure on water. You can use them to expand your factory into deep seas, lakes, rivers, or oceans, while keeping placement restricted to lightweight, stable structures.

Giving new life to vanilla mechanics

Fish are a good starting source of nutrients on Pelagos. They are also essential for progression. You can use the fish breeding recipe on Pelagos. New recipes will also make wood more usefull than before, you can turn it into spoilage creating local source of nutrients, or use calciner to create coal

Integrations with other planets/mods:

Any planet start

• You can start your game on Pelagos.
• You unlock technologies in a different order to better flesh out the Pelagos tech path. For example instead of getting the regular thruster first, you get an Ethanol Thruster. The regular techs are still available, but they unlock a bit later so that you genuinely start the game from the Pelagos point of view.

Apia

• Pelagos Coconut biolubricant is affected by Apia lubricant productivity
• Pelagos Copper spitter eggs production is affected by Apia biter eggs productivity
• Pelagos Coconut processing is affected by Apia agriculture productivity
• Apia larvae cultivation is affected by Pelagos cultivation productivity
• Apia wax platform is affected by Pelagos landfill productivity

Vesta

• Lighthouse can be placed on the surface of Vesta.
• Vesta has two gases that can be used as liquid fuel for diesel engines: Methane and Hydrogen.
• Gas giant platform is affected by landfill productivity.
• Diesel Excavator unlocked on Pelagos can be used on the surface of Vesta to mine stone, and remove asteroids.
• There is a new optional setting (turned off by default) to enable methane stain instead of Vesta methane tiles. It can be mined with an oil rig because it's a Sea of clouds.
• To make sure you can choose any icon you want, there is an additional setting to prioritize either the Pelagos or Vesta methane icon and colors.

Arig

• Landfill productivity also affects Sandstone foundation
• Dedicated recipe to make biodiesel from cactus
• Coconut drop technology allows you to drop coconuts on surface bypassing cargo drop lock
• Arig landfill compression recipe is affected by Pelagos landfill productivity

Tellus

• magnesium bacteria cultivation recipe is affected by bacteria cultivation productivity
• Tellus soils are affected by Pelagos landfill productivity

Foliax

• Foliax soils are affected by Pelagos landfill productivity

Obsidiax

• Obsidiax foundation is affected by Pelagos landfill productivity

Maraxis

• Coconut Sealant can be turned into Super Sealant Substance if Maraxis is installed.
• Recipe enables itself when you research "Project Seadragon" just like regular Super Sealant Substance recipe
