Hello Again!
Just saw You added a new tier of belt to the mod, Very cool Idea : )
Another Planet mod ''Arig'' has a Hyper belt that transports at 75/s too.

And since Arig is an inner planet, its gives no insentive to go get these later game ones.
Could you add a setting to change the belt speed of the Ultra fast belt?
I was using the Promethium belt mod for an endgame belt, but this will be much more interesting to get instead : D
Excellent Cooking Chef, Plz continue to do so : )

Hi
Yeah, Arig’s on my mind.
I haven’t actually decided yet what I want to do about it.

I think the Turbo Belts are sufficient for the inner planets, and that the Arig Hyper Belt is too powerful for the stage of the game where they appear. So I was thinking of perhaps removing them if both mods are loaded. But that’s just my personal preference, and I really don’t want players to have to choose between the two mods.

So I’ve considered a few other options, but I haven’t really come up with any clear ideas yet.

• I have an ON/OFF setting for these belts; I could ask Syen (the author of Arig) to do the same if Aquilo Overhaul is loaded, so that players could choose which belts they want to keep. But there’s no guarantee he’ll agree.

• I could also combine the two into one by requiring both science packs to unlock them, along with a mix of ingredients. But that would push it into the post-Aquilo era, which doesn’t bother me personally, but differs from the original Hyper Belt.

• Or I could increase the rate to 90/s, but I think that’s too high. That’s the rate chosen by the Promethium Belt mod, for which I actually created a "Promethium Belt Rebalance" version to bring it back down to 75/s. It’s this version that I’ve integrated into Aquilo Overhaul with the 4.2.0 update today.

So that’s where I’m at for now. I’m going to let the idea settle for a bit, and perhaps have a chat with Syen to ask what he thinks about the possibility of us working out a common compatibility.

But the idea of a speed setting is an interesting one. Generally speaking, I always try to leave as many customisation settings open as possible, because everyone has their own preferences and the aim is for players to enjoy themselves, not for me to impose my own view of what I think is balanced.

We'll see, perhaps in the end the solution will be something somewhere in between all of that :)

I don't know if we can said I'm a chef in modding, probably not, but thanks anyway ;)

There won’t be many more new features. The only thing I still plan to add is the high-entropy alloy thruster. Apart from that, I’ll mainly be focusing on polishing and adding mod compatibility.

I'm glad you like the mod, and thanks for your ongoing feedback and ideas !

Hi
I’ve had a chat with Syen, and what we’re going to do is give both sets of belts an ON/OFF setting in their respective mods. And I’m going to add a setting to choose the speed of my belt between 75/s and 90/s.

That will allow the three possibilities:
- Only Hyper belt
- Only Ultra-fast belt
- Both, with Hyper at 75/s and Ultra-fast at 90/s

Like that every one can choose how to play :)

"I was using the Promethium belt mod for an endgame belt, but this will be much more interesting to get instead : D"

If I did it correctly, it should auto-remplace the belts. You just have to remove Promethium Belt mod (or my Promethium Belt Rebalance) before loading and it should remplace everythings with Ultra-fast belts.

Can you tell me if it work for you plz ?

Hello, Thx for adding my suggestion!
Yes, the Prom. Belts were replacing your ones before and i did remove the mod before you made this change, so there shouldnt be any problems : )
May i ask, what are you gonna work on next? (New mod idea, Compats, etc.)

"There won’t be many more new features. The only thing I still plan to add is the high-entropy alloy thruster. Apart from that, I’ll mainly be focusing on polishing and adding mod compatibility."

That's for Aquilo Overhaul.
In addition, I have an idea for one more mod, but I have lot to do IRL s it will probably not be before may ;)
