THE MOD IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING A MAJOR REVAMP, EXPECT THINGS TO BE REMOVED

Age of Production

This mod adds a lot of new buildings, many new recipes, new fluids and a couple new items!

The description may not be fully accurate due to the major revamp.

Currently it is safe to add into an existing save, but once the revamp is complete, it won't.

The new additions, per planet, are:

Vulcanus:

  • Arc Furnace: an electric furnace that is bigger, better, faster and stronger! A good 50% productivity never hurt anyone! (Unlocked after Metallurgic Science)
  • Armory: PEW PEW SHWOONNN BOOOM! That's the sound everyone loves to hear on their space platform, but you gotta produce those bullets and rockets don't you? Well here comes the Armory, 50% prod on all ammunition! (Unlocked after Metallurgic Science and Military 4)

Nauvis:

  • Atomic Enricher: Centrifuging with style and a obligatory 50% productivity. Can also produce more uranium related recipes and the new Uranium Sifting recipe, allowing you to search for U-238 and U-235 from stone! (Unlocked after Quantum Processors and Nukes)
  • Lumber Mill: You know the drill by now, faster and 50% prod. This time with wood! Alongside it unlock new wood processes and Biomass, a cheaper alternative to Nutrients that spoils slower but gives less energy! (Unlocked after Tree Seeding)
  • Biomass Reactor: Unlocked right after the Lumber Mill, this new power building consumes well... Biomass! And nutrients! Consider it like an artificial biochamber, that instead of consuming the food to well... eat, it burns it! (Unlocked after Woodworking)
  • Transmitter: a smaller, compact beacon that can only house one module, obviously with some good effect transmission. (Unlocked after effect transmission and space science)

Gleba:

  • Greenhouse: Even the engineer has a green thumb! Or is it just pentapod blood? We may never know! This calm paradise in the factory's chaos can grow plants for you. 50% prod, the usual. Gleban products can only be grown there but wood on the other hand... let's just say there will be some more oxygen in space. It even has a related infinite tech! (Unlocked after the Lumber Mill and Cryogenic Science)

Fulgora:

  • Salvager: This upgraded Recycler doesn't just scrap the stuff you throw inside of it, it melts the components and then rebuilds them, sometimes with an higher quality than before! That's right, 10% quality recycler! (Unlocked after Quality Modules 3 and Carbon Fiber.)
  • Petrochemical Facility: Another thing that always bothered me about Space Age is how after everything, you still gotta use Oil Refineries. Well that's where the Petrochemical Facility comes in! 25% prod and extra speed on all Oil refining, cracking, solid fuel... need anything else? It already has everything and more, including some new things... (Unlocked after Coal Liquefaction and Electromagnetic Science.)
  • Advanced Assembling Machine: Assembler-er than ever! A faster assembling machine with 10% base productivity and low energy usage! (Unlocked after Productivity Module 3, Speed Module 3, Efficiency Module 3 and Automation 3. (Yikes!))

Aquilo:

  • Hydraulic Plant: Ever thought producing Holmium Solution was too hard? Not anymore with a nice 50% prod over it. Same for all other fluid based recipes that aren't oil related or strictly cryogenic or electromagnetic! (Unlocked with Cryogenic Science.)
  • Synthesizer: No metals on Aquilo? Not anymore! This special machine, fusion of a chemical plant and furnace, can synthesize the metals from the Ammoniacal Sea, alongside coal, calcite and stone synthesis! 20% prod and slightly faster than a chem plant! (Unlocked with Cryogenic Science)

Beyond:

  • Deep into interstellar space... shrouded in darkness... you may find new applications of those red fragments... (All unlocked after Promethium Science, Automation 4, Biolab and Electromechanics).
  • Quantum Assembler: The final frontier of assembling. 100%. Productivity. On. All. Nauvis. Sciences. (+ Space Science).
  • Quantum Stabilizer: The final frontier of effect transmission. 8 Module Slots, huge affected area, 2X distribution efficiency, way too much power drain.
  • Quantum Computer: The final frontier of research. 10% science pack drain, immense speed and many module slots. Extremely expensive and too dangerous to be built everywhere but in Space.

Below:

  • Perhaps our operations shouldn't have looked at the stars... (Unlocked after Promethium Science, Hydraulics and Electromechanics)
  • Core Miner: Deep below the surface of our beloved planets (except Aquilo this guy stinks and has no solid surface!) lie endless resources for us to extract... Build the gigantic and expensive Core Miner to obtain Deep Minerals, to then process them into useful ores! Only one per surface, we wouldn't want to destroy a planet's core and the game's balance at once don't we?
