Roc's Hardcore Vulcanus


Tweaks to Vulcanus. Demolishers are tougher and more numerous, the starting area is much smaller, and certain casting recipes now require research to incentivize building a small science chain on Vulcanus. Vanilla+.

Roc's Hardcore Demolishers

A few tweaks to increase the difficulty of Vulcanus. Part of Hardcore Mode, though this mod is standalone.

Tweaks

Each tweak can be disabled by a setting.

  • Demolishers have extra HP, are faster, and turn more quickly.
  • The territory of demolishers on Vulcanus is much smaller, meaning more demolishers per square meter.
  • The Vulcanus starting area is much smaller.
    • Rock yields are increased to compensate for less rocks in the starting area.
  • Foundry recipes beyond liquids and plate crafting are locked behind a new technology, 'Advanced casting'. As with other Roc's Hardcore planets, this incentivizes a small science build prior to launching a rocket.

Special Thanks

  • Tserup contributed the advanced casting technology icon.
