About xors (Forked) (optional) Space Exploration (+ Krastorio 2) tweaks and additions
From Factorio Mod PortalTweaks and additions of various small things for SE (and K2 if installed). All toggleable via settings! Check mod description for list.
__Fork of https://github.com/xor50/SE_xors_tweaks, updated for 2.0__
Burning K2 Hydrogen? Speed up ingot casting? These and many other tweaks and additions are the contents of this mod!
_Have other good ideas? Go suggest them, a lot of the implemented things are from the SE Discord._
__FEATURES__:
- add a recipe for landfill from coal
_Similar to the other landfill recipes in SE._
- enable cryo-cooled ingot casting recipes and tech
_Faster ingot casting recipes via cryo cooling!_
- enable water-cooled ingot casting recipes and tech
_Faster ingot casting recipes via water cooling!_
- enable tweaks to alternative recipes
_This currently includes: SE: Improve the alt recipe of the Multispectral Mirror. K2: Add new alt recipe for RCUs using the Li-S battery. K2: Add new alt recipe for flying robot frames using the Li-S battery._ __BALANCE__:
- make molten metal denser
_Increases density of molten metal by a factor of 2. Note: Denser doesn't mean more ingots from same amount, but means easier transportation in high volumes._
- increase crafting speed of Casting Machine from 1 to 2
_Because SE default is crazy and you need an insane number of casters._
- make kiln recipes available in higher tier furnaces
_Kiln recipes are e.g. stone -> stone bricks. This option is basically reverting a SE 0.6 change._
- enable possibly nicer Thermofluid recipe numbers
_...for possibly nicer ratios of Radiators. (e.g. instead of 50 -> 49 it's now 51 -> 50)_
- disable certain burner buildings in space (there is no oxygen!)
_Makes the AAI Burner Turbine, the vanilla non-electric boiler and the K2 Gas Power Plant not placeable in space. It doesn't make sense to be able to burn things without oxygen and it also increases the value of the Isothermic Generator because that one is intended for space use._
__K2 FIXES__:
- swap output slots of Electrolysis Plant
_ ...to match inputs of Chemical Plants for some recipes._
- enable fix for oversight that cargo size of logi bots is too large
_ Will get removed from mod if fixed officially._
- set Uranium Fuel Cells stack size to 10 as possibly intended by SE
__K2 FEATURES__:
- fixes various iron/steel graphics issues with item icons and recipe icons.
- enable advanced Explosives recipe and tech
_Advanced alternate recipe for Explosives made via Ammonium Nitrate._
- enable additional techs and processing recipes for Mineral Water
_Includes filtering Mineral Water to water and boiling Mineral Water for resources._
- enable fuel value for Hydrogen and Light Oil
_Fluids with fuel value can be used in generators that take fluids like the K2 Gas Power Station or the SE Fluid Isothermic Generator._
- switch K2 graphics to vanilla
_Disables the K2 graphics for iron plates, copper plates and sand and uses the vanilla graphics instead. Also updates corresponding recipes. The steel plate uses the silver plate graphics from Artisanal Reskins: Angel's Mods by Kirazy because the vanilla beam graphics is already in use by K2._
__K2 BALANCE__:
- reduce AAI Industrial Furnace module slots by 1
_Because otherwise the K2 Advanced Furnace isn't enough of an upgrade._
- reduce Advanced Chemical Plant crafting speed from 8 to 6
_Because it was way too strong. It is still very good and still has increased module slots._
- enable rebalance of Uranium Fuel Cell cost (Read the info of this option!)
_Slightly reduces the cost because it was unreasonable high. (Also accordingly balances the output of the reprocessing recipe.) Note: enabled/disabling this option after setting up uranium fuel cell reprocessing means you need to re-set the recipes in the centrifuges!_
- enable rebalance of Iridium and Holmium dirty water filtering
_Makes Holmium and Iridium dirty water filtering slightly less useless via slightly increasing results of the recipes._
- enable rebalance of steel casting, as it was not good enough compared to steel from iron plates
