Biological Machines: Planet Wit

Warning

Burner buildings (including the stone furnace and boiler) cannot be placed on Wit. If playing with BM: Hunger I would recommend bringing a significant supply of food as it takes time to produce on Wit.

Can be added to existing saves but space science and an intermediate used in lasers now must be made on Wit so their production would need to be redone on Wit.

Description

Adds Wit, a moon of Nauvis covered in asteroid craters, glass, helium and coper sulfate. Use these resources to produce helium power cells, a necessary ingredient in space science, laser turrets and the robotics facility (req to craft asteroid collectors, 50% base prod). Return post Aquilo for interstellar science pack.

Includes

• BM: Scrapyard
• BM: Warp Drive
• BM: Core

Included in

• BM: Modpack

Features

• New planet Wit, a moon of Nauvis. Connection to Nauvis contains small asteroids but there are only chunks in Wit orbit
• Space science packs are now made on Wit and are required to unlock asteroid collectors. Ship materials to make thruster fuel and oxidizer to a starter platform and ride it to Wit to get started
• Mine crashed probe on surface to get construction materials for your first machines
• Asteroid ore can be mined to get metallic, carbonic and oxide asteroids which can be crushed to get basic resources
• Glass ore can be mined to get glass shards which can be crafted into bricks, landfill, rails or glass plates
• Copper sulfate can be mined and mixed with water to produce copper dust and sulfuric acid
• Thruster fuel and oxidizer can be produced on wit and are required to produce petroleum products like plastic, lubricant and rocket fuel
• Helium gas which must be pumped from the ground and is used in helium power cells, a requirement for lasers and the robotics facility
• Adds a robotics facility which has 50% base productivity and is required to produce asteroid collectors, spidertrons and mech armor
• Adds glass dust which can be pumped from the craters and filtered for glass shards. Fluid can also be dumped into the crater with an offshore dump
• Adds mixed gas power cells which are used to produce interstellar science packs and the buildings they unlock including advanced accumulators
• Optionally moves logistics system tech to pre space science tier so the engineer can set up full logistics on Nauvis before traveling to Wit
• Optionally adds advanced solar panels and equipment made with helium power cells
• Optionally changes combat robot recipes to require flying robot frames and more advanced intermediates. Also extends their lifetimes

Supported Mods

• Personal tesla defense equipment by pluralmonad. Changes recipe and tech
• Repair turret by Klonan. Changes tech and recipe
• Reach equipment by between walls. Changes tech and recipe
• Moshine by snouz. Replaces data disks with trained AI cores and raw data. Adds wit products to Moshine recipes
