Aquilo Overhaul

Have you ever felt that the content added by Aquilo was a bit poor and the endgame not challenging enough? Did you find it too easy once you understood the mechanics of freezing?

In that case, this overhaul is for you!
Aquilo Overhaul stay as close as possible to the spirit of the game and offers two highly customizable and complementary mods.
They're designed to work together, but can be played separately if you wish.

• Lithium Battery, which adds powerful content and a whole new production chain for the endgame.

• Better Aquilo, which only modifies what already exists in vanilla, adding complexity to certain recipes.

Lithium Battery

This mod add lithium batteries, which remplace lithium plate in the science pack recipe.
Beyond that, everything else can be (enable/disable) and fine tuned. You can customise it to get the gaming experience that suits you best.

In addition to the basic lithium battery, you can unlock:

• A new lithium accumulator
• Personal battery MK4
• Personal roboport MK3
• Energy shield MK3

But it doesn't stop there. Once you've mastered cryogenic science, a new production chain opens up to you: High-entropy alloy. This new metal is processed in space, so you will need a real platefrom factory this time.
High entropy-alloy is included in those recipes:

• A new assembling machine 4
• Most late Aquilo rewards
• A new containment structure, needed in fusion reactors
• HEA engine unit, that can replace quantum processor in promethium science pack

The tech tree is reorganised accordingly:

{there are no changes in map gen, background image for aesthetic purposes only}

Most changes can be customised in the settings !

No fewer than 29 customisation options:

And even more settings with others compatible mods enabled

Future plans

• Add a high entropy-alloy thruster
• Better lithium accumulator tech icon
• Rebalance recipes (just numbers to avoid breaking changes) and provide setting for easy/normal/hard costs.
• Add compatibility with some other mods

I'm open to suggestions/ideas ;)

This is my biggest mod, I hope you like it :)
