Outpost Power
- Includes a map generation preset, not using it makes this mod less
relevant. - Coal and water should be far apart, use the burner pump to
package and carry water to kick start a compressed air power plant. - Loop turbines and Loop heaters usually output some amount of their input, use Bottleneck to help fine tune your setup.
- Copper may be far away, mine chalcopyrite rocks for copper ore until you can build vehicles
- Craft power cells in your main base and move them to a distant outpost to power it for a long time
- Some mid to late game options provide power generation setups that are between steam and nuclear in terms of power level.
- If you're clever and patient enough, you can find a way to make free energy
- This mod is about new challenges, not OP power generation
This mod is part of a series called Exploration Mode
- Outpost Power
- Alternative Oil Processing
- Basic Robotics
- Vehicle Balancing
- Turbo bike
- Technology Specialization
It can be used on its own, but the mods all work together to build an interesting gameplay variation.
