Hard Vulcanus

Tweaks to Vulcanus. Part of Space Age: Hard Mode, though this mod is standalone.

Tweaks

Each tweak can be disabled by a setting.

• A special new technology is required to drop cargo (excluding construction bots) on Vulcanus.
• Lava cannot be transported in pipes, and molten metals can only be transported over a limited range.
• The territory of each demolisher is smaller (meaning more demolishers.)
• Demolishers move faster when disturbed (up to +50%).
• The Vulcanus starting area is much smaller.
  • Rock yields are increased to compensate for fewer rocks in the starting area.
• Foundry recipes beyond liquids and plate crafting are locked behind a new technology, 'Advanced casting'. As with other Hardcore planets, this incentivizes a small science build prior to launching a rocket.
• The temperature of steam produced by acid neutralisation is reduced to 165 degrees (matching the temperature of steam produced by boilers), making energy more of a constraint.

We are looking for additional tweaks for Hard Vulcanus.

Special Thanks

• Tserup contributed the advanced casting technology icon.
