Good news folks, I'm not dead! I have finished my PhD and am now available to occasionally maintain this!
Welcome back and congratulations on a PhD!
I just installed mod but I'm scratching my head here trying to start the playthrough. First map everything was shallow water and couldn't build anything, second I made sure to get started on land but cannot figure out how to actually do anything since the water is methane and I cannot find any recipes to use it. Coal and wood and wood pellets cannot be used as fuel but I did find a small patch of ice! :)
What am I missing here?? What is used for fuel?
EDIT: Seems the Ice patch I found is the key to my troubles. Let me expand off this very small patch I found and I'll return if I experience anymore hang-ups.
