Industrial Revolution 3

IR3 is a remix/overhaul of IR2 (2020). It might be a momentary diversion for folks who:

Aren't challenged by launching vanilla rockets any more and want a slower, longer and quirkier game;
Need more crafting and materials complexity without it getting bonkers or feeling like a chemistry lecture;
Like things to be pretty and nice.

Features

A metric buttload of original sprites and animations. That's 0.9 imperial buttloads.
Extended early game burner/steam phase, where getting to electricity and iron-working is the goal (skippable in map options).
New materials such as tin, rubber, glass, bronze, gold, lead, and chrome.
Customised component/processes system that provides a framework for crushing, ore washing, alloying, metal-casting, electroplating.
New machines, vehicles, and equipment, including low tech construction bots from almost the start of the game.
Built-in status lights on most electric machines, without any UPS-eating scripts (IR was the first mod to do this).
Trains, vehicles and personal equipment that run on bottled steam, petrol canisters or rechargeable batteries.
A personal fuel manager that automatically tops up fuel in your power suit and vehicles.
An early-game bot-less personal logistics system that helps you automate supplies.
Specialist furnaces: alloy furnaces synthesize new materials; blast furnaces specialise in steel; arc furnaces produce molten metals.
Great big drills from day one.
Oil processing and hydrocarbons overhaul: continue cracking oil products down to natural gas and hydrogen; bitumen; ethanol; coke gasification.
Gas and steam fissures: rare natural resources with rich output that ebbs and peaks.
Liquid fuel generator: generate power directly from flammable fluids.
Cryogenics: distil pure elemental gases from the atmosphere; condense gases for transport by liquefying them.
Forestry overhaul: manage real trees as resources and protect them from pollution disasters; boost production with fertiliser.
Geothermal exchange: use polluted steam from fissures to boil clean water.
Small assemblers and barrelling machines: 1x1 crafting machines that can handle a subset of small component recipes.
Bronze telescope: steam-powered radar; same sector scanning range as electric radar but a smaller area reveal.
Waterfill explosives: extend existing water tiles.
Pollution spills and anti-pollution countermeasures.
Proper teleporters with proper balance and other things that go "wom wom wom".
Expanded defence options, including additional turret types and reinforced walls.
Automatic tech tree generator: never unlock something you can't immediately craft (except barrelling).
Scrapping system for recycling unwanted products.
Easily missable details like recipe-based building damage and shrapnel.
Built-in documentation: the Manifesto is a set of brief guides to IR3's features.
QOL settings and gimmicks.
