Hard Vulcanus

TBy thesixthroc

Tweaks to Vulcanus. Demolishers are more numerous, the map is smaller, molten lava and metals have restrictions on how they can be piped, Acid neutralisation produces cooler steam, coal liquefaction is nerfed, and mining tungsten requires lubricant. For full details, see the mod portal page. Other dependencies are intended to be included, but all are listed as optional for maximum customizability. To get the full experience, enable this mod via the Space Age: Hard Mode modpack.

Hard Vulcanus

Difficulty tweaks for Vulcanus. Part of Space Age: Hard Mode, though this mod is standalone.

Tweaks

  • If V/F/G Cargo Drops Require Research is installed, Foundry recipes beyond liquids and plate crafting are locked behind a new technology, 'Advanced casting'. As with other Hardcore planets, this incentivizes a small science build prior to launching a rocket.
  • The territory of each demolisher is smaller (meaning more demolishers.)
  • Demolishers move faster when disturbed (up to +50%).
  • The Vulcanus starting area is much smaller.
  • Rock yields are increased to compensate for fewer rocks in the starting area.
  • The temperature of steam produced by acid neutralisation is reduced to 165 degrees (matching the temperature of steam produced by boilers), making energy more of a constraint.
  • Coal liquefaction and Simple coal liquefaction are nerfed to produce less output and take longer.

And from subsidiary mods:

  • Tungsten mining requires lubricant.
  • Lava cannot be transported in pipes.
