Came Prepared

Overview

You may not have planned to crash but you certainly came prepared.

Came prepared lets you choose your starting loadouts and armor along with a few optional technologies to help alleviate or remove some monotony when starting a new game.

This pairs well with the Any Planet Start mod and automatically configures your loadout depending on which planet you start on.

Gameplay changes

The crashed ship has a larger capacity. This is where you'll find your items.

Modded planets will have their progression changed only if you start on that planet. Some of them will contain new recipes, recipe changes and new technology to a minimum only to allow you to get off planet.

Loadouts

Loadouts are preconfigured in the mod settings when starting a new Freeplay game.

Starting Planets

Many modded planets will inevitably require changes to their progression chain to allow the possibility of getting into space. Some planets will have new recipes customized to that planet's origin and nature. If you choose to start on a modded planet, it is highly recommended to start with some sort of Mech armor then choose none for your loadout. This will teach you a planet's natural steps in progression towards space.

More planets will become available in time.

Planet Vesta

Planet Vesta is a giant gas planet with some small rocky islands to crash on. Luck has it, you some biochmbers and cryogenic plants which are necessary to create a production chain that allows you to get off planet. In the start, you'll need to be resourceful until you can get what you need to start growing the factory.

Fluorite crystals have been discovered on some the the rocky formations. You'll need to visit a few islands, gather some crystals and mix some chemicals to produce some precious fluorine.

Calcized iron and copper can be processed to extract raw ores and small amounts of calcite. The extraction process may be slow but you'll be able to net more product from the same amount of resources. Calcite could come in handy later on too.

If you happened to use up all of your iron ore, Vesta's surface sand can be mixed with bricks and water to make concrete. This mod has been designed and tested to work well in complex mode. There is compatibility for simple mode but complex mode is highly recommended and lots of fun.

Maraxsis

Maraxsis is a highly pressurised oxygen deprived water world. Luckily you prepared a submarine and bought a can of fresh air before landing here or you would have drowned in a matter of minutes.

You can choose your submarine.

Vast amounts of tungsten ore has been discovered in the coral. You'll need to find a way to smelt this into what will become your most essential resource.

You will need to have safe orbit selected under the Any Planet Start startup options. If not - there will be no asteroids to harvest above Maraxsis.

Carna

Welcome to the snowy, plasma infused, high tech wasteland of Carna. Robots are trying to erase you and the weather is not your friend. In a ship cupboard we found some matrix accelerators. I guess we could hand crafting our way into space.

There is no coal on Carna. No coal means no military - at least until you can make your way to Gleba to extract necessary tech to bring back.

Be sure to scout when starting on Carna. Although the end game leads you to build to a planet-wide power grid, there is some interesting early game ways of generating power native to Carna.

Tellus

The first of the trilogy, Planetaris Tellus is a wasp infested, mycelian landscape where fruits bare chloroplast - an essential ingredient in manufacturing your way off planet.

Your most important assembling machine is organic and expires so careful planning is expected. Just like on Gleba, burn your excess and keep the product moving.

Tellus is intentionally difficult and the starting critters are tough to deal with. Choose a loadout that has relative weaponry to keep your initial base safe or pick an easier setting to your liking.

Secretas & Frozeta

Many a ship fell to the asteroid belts of Secretas & Frozeta. They're either swallowed by the gas giant of Secretas or are scattered across the frozen planes of Frozeta. This scrap is invaluable to your survival on Frozeta.

Frozeta is a frozen logistics nightmare. Above both planets are huge asteroids so be prepared for your first ship to be bombarded. Building and travel in space travel will prove a challenge.

Resources spawn far away from where you crash. Pack some armor. Stone is scarce so military research is painfully slow. It will help to add some bullet upgrades to help your first ship survive.
