I really enjoyed my time with the mod despite some frustrations that make it probably not joining a future playthough. Overall I like solving the individual challenges but none of them really meshed for a coherent experience.

The most glaring and obvious is that the solar panels and accumulators are ridiculously overtuned. A standard solar is 60kw, a Moshine solar is 3.6MW. the only other planet mod to introduce upgraded solars and accumulators I know of is paracelsin and they're nowhere near as overpowered, I think it's upgraded solar is twice as good as a vanilla one and a lot more expensive, plus that's a planet that's close to Aquillo in progression. A few solars just break power progression, even on Moshine itself which has unlimited power.

My other main issue is the disconnect between the planet's systems. The mixed ores are an initial challenge until you start voiding everything to keep the patches flowing once you've spent half an hour waiting for some neodynium, but none of that has anything to do with the AI portion of the mod, I made a bus with a belt of datacells before realising a bot mall could support my needs and all the science is time, not resource intensive. I have the accumulators and solars and I never even touched the farming side of the mod. I tried the trains but again, they don't have a place on the planet, every resource comes from near infinite mixed patches and the molten iron. which are everwhere. Perhaps someone more train oriented than me can tell me what use they are but the infrastructure to support them seems so much more excessive than throwing rocket fuel at more vanilla trains.

Probably coming across more negative than I intend to I just liked the vibe of the planet I just didn't really get where it was trying to go overall

When i went there, i couldnt place accumulators - meaning that while solar might be great during the day, they couldnt store any for the night.
