Rich Rocks are back!
This mod ports the Rich Rocks ore, item, research and processing recipes from Krastorio Legacy to Krastorio 2. Those who enjoyed the hectic sorting and processing chains of rich rocks in Legacy can now give them a try in Factorio 2.0!
Recipes and technology requirements have been tweaked for an even more challenging experience - this is configurable in the startup settings for an experience closer to the original Krastorio Legacy.
Explore and find huge rich rock patches across the world map!
Rich rocks are generated in very sizeable ore veins with massively scaling richness, but a long mining time and steep mining cost. Bring your best drills for this one.
Take on the logistical challenge of raw ores and raw minerals processing to unlock the riches within!
Enough byproducts, fluid intakes, loops and randomness to make your head spin. There's tons of ways to tackle the logistics of rich rocks, some better than others. Which will you choose?
...Or, you can turn it all into matter. With rich rocks, you'll never run out.
Nothing beats the volume of matter you can produce from even a single rich rock patch. A well-serviced on-site refinery can meet matter requirements of the megabase scale. Have fun scaling up like never before!
Any and all feedback is appreciated. Feel free to suggest features, fixes, and fun ideas. I'll have a look at all of them, but I'm not making any guarantees for implementation time - sorry!
NOTE: Does not work with RSO. Adding RSO will completely prevent Rich Rocks from generating in your world.
