The standard description of this mod will be back soon.

Aquilo Overhaul

Have you ever felt that the content added by Aquilo was a bit poor and the endgame not challenging enough? Did you find it too easy once you understood the mechanics of freezing?

In that case, this overhaul is for you!
Aquilo Overhaul stay as close as possible to the spirit of the game and offers three highly customizable and complementary mods.
They're designed to work together, but can be played separately if you wish.

• Lithium Battery, which adds powerful content and a whole new production chain for the endgame.

• Better Aquilo, which only modifies what already exists in vanilla, adding complexity to certain recipes.
  https://mods.factorio.com/mod/BetterAquilo

• Circular Collider Lab, which adds a powerful new lab.
  https://mods.factorio.com/mod/CircularColliderLab

Lithium Battery:

This mod add lithium batteries, which remplace lithium plate in the science pack recipe.
Beyond that, everything else can be (enable/disable) and fine tuned. You can customise it to get the gaming experience that suits you best.

In addition to the basic lithium battery, you can unlock:

• A new lithium accumulator
• Personal battery MK4
• Personal roboport MK3
• Energy shield MK3

But it doesn't stop there. Once you've mastered cryogenic science, a new production chain opens up to you: High-entropy alloy. This new metal is processed in space, so you will need a real platefrom factory this time.
High entropy-alloy is included in those recipes:

• A new assembling machine 4
• A new belt tier with a speed of 75 item/s (and a setting to buff it to 90 item/s)
• A new HEA thruster (4x more powerfull, but less fuel efficient)
• Most late Aquilo rewards
• A new containment structure, needed in fusion reactors
• HEA engine unit, that can replace quantum processor in promethium science pack

The tech tree is reorganised accordingly:

{there are no changes in map gen, background image for aesthetic purposes only}

Most changes can be customised in the settings !

No fewer than 35 customisation options:

And even more settings with others compatible mods enabled

Available in the following languages:

• English
• Français
• Russian

  https://mods.factorio.com/mod/fusion-fuel

• Electric Heating Tower -> Add a setting to need HEA plate in the recipe.
  https://mods.factorio.com/mod/ElectricHeatingTower

• Productivity Module 3 on Aquilo -> Lithium plates are remplaced by lithium battery in this productivity module 3 recipe.
  https://mods.factorio.com/mod/productivity-module-3-aquilo

• CheaperFoundations -> If HEA endgame is disable, the foundations will be cheaper.
  https://mods.factorio.com/mod/cheaper-foundation

Future plans

• Add the HEA exo mk2
• Add the HEA pumpjack
• Add a heat dissipation mechanic
• Add a setting for global heat consumption multiplier
• Add compatibility with some other mods

I'm open to suggestions/ideas ;)

Aquilo Overhaul:

Aquilo Overhaul is an extremly customizable mod, almost every feature can be ??finely?? tuned and enabled/disabled. There are settings for content stats, recipe and technology costs, tweaks and even more with compatible mods enabled !
For ??clarty??, settings are sort by "type" and colored.

Two products are added. The first one is the lithium battery, which remplace lithium plate in the cryogenic science pack recipe.
The second form a new production chain, high-entropy alloy. This new metal is made of various metals and have to be crafted in space. It can be processed in plate, gear, engine and a containment structure.
Those are used as ingredients in most of ??Aquilo unlock?? and HEA-engine remplace quantum processor in the promethium pack recipe.

New ??rewards?? to unlock with the cryogenic pack

• Lithium accumulator
• Assembling machine 4
• Ultra-fast belts
• HEA-thruster
• (SOON) HEA-pumpjack
• Personnal battery mk4
• Personnal roboport mk3
• Personnal shield mk3
• (SOON) Personnal exo mk2
• CCL (with CCL mod)

Basic aquilo recipe are also in a new form by default:

• Fluoro cooling
• Fluoro
• Cryogenic pack
• Quantum processor
• Fusion cell

There is also some tweaks to some mechanics

• Roboport and bot nerf
• Tech cost
• Ammonia rules
• (SOON) Heat dissipation
• (SOON) Global heat consumption multiplier
