About Industrial Evolution

From ficsit.app

A feature-rich mod based on Mk++ and X3's Better Vehicles with many quality of life improvements

Industrial Evolution is a feature-rich mod based on Mk++ and X3 Better Vehicles with many QoL improvements, more balanced approach and strives to give players more freedom of choice.

To use it, a new research tree will be available in MAM, unlocking each node will reward recipes for building better machines, which can be upgraded in-place and have many customizable settings such as overclocking mode, power consumption, production multiplier, and many more.

Feedback

For bug reports and requests/suggestions you can find me on the Ficsit Labs Discord.
