About Aquilite: Playable Aquilo

From Factorio Mod Portal

Adds a few recipes for Aquilo to make it self-sufficient. You can start from there using "Any Planet Start" mod. Also compatible with "AAI Industry", "Krastorio 2" and "Aquilo Overhaul: Better Aquilo".

A mod that allows you to play on Aquilo without importing resources from other planets. It adds a few more recipes and items to get everything missing on Aquilo. You can now start your journey from Aquilo using "Any Planet Start" mod and then you'll get a hard yet fair challange.

FAQ

(?) What does this mod do exactly?

  • It adds a material named "aquilite" that is scattered across the planet as an ore; it contains copper, iron, holmium and tungsten in different proportions. The mod adds 3 different recipes to extract the metals. Also the mod adds 3 recipes for items you normally import from other planets such as carbon fiber, superconductor and tungsten plate. We dodged adding a coal source, so we introduced new recipes for plastic bar, explosives, grenade and carbon.

(?) How do I get started with heat and electricity when I start on this planet using the Any Planet Start mod?

  • Well, we've hidden a heating tower in the spaceship debris. To produce the heat, you make a special starting fuel out of materials you can find around. To produce electricity with a steam generator you should get a chemical plant to melt ice, then you should get a few solar panels to launch the whole thing.

(?) Can I get the content Aquilo provides if I start on this planet using the Any Planet Start mod?

  • Yes, you can get the railgun and fusion reactor; with this mod, their technologies require cryogenic science packs only (among space science packs). You probably need them to get to other planets through big asteroids.

(?) Will the new recipes replace the vanilla ones?

  • Probably not, they are so expensive and slow that you probably will want to use the original ones (when you unlock them if you're playing with APS mod).
