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 three 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.

Circular Collider Lab, which adds a powerful new lab.

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
- A new belt tier with a speed of 75 item/s (and a setting to buff it to 90 item/s)
- 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 32 customisation options:
And even more settings with others compatible mods enabled

Others:
-
Arig -> There is a setting in both mods so you can choose which of Hyper belt or Ultra-fast belt you want to enable. Or the two, with Ultra-fast belt going to 90/s instead of 75/s.

Particle Physics -> Accelerator recipe is changed to include a containment structure and the new science pack is added in some techs cost.
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/particle-physics -
Fusion Fuel (Phnod) -> HEA plate is added to the fusion fuel recipe.
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/fusion-fuel -
Electric Heating Tower -> Add a setting to need HEA plate in the recipe.
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/ElectricHeatingTower -
CheaperFoundations -> If HEA endgame is disable, the foundations will be cheaper.

Productivity Module 3 on Aquilo -> Lithium plates are remplaced by lithium battery in this productivity module 3 recipe.

/!\
Please note (If playing version >=4.2.0):
- Promethium Belts Rebalance mod is now integrated directly in Aquilo Overhaul: Lithium Battery. If you play with the HEA endgame setting ON, you can safely remove Promethium Belts Rebalance, the belts won't disappear and only the recipe and name will change (Should also work with the original Promethium Belt mod).
Future plans
- Add a high-entropy alloy thruster
- 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 ;)
