New Planet: Khemia
A vast desert, with lots of room to build. Filled with the remains of alchemical contraptions.
It includes a full research tree with lots of new tech to unlock.
You can visit from an existing save, or start a new playthrough on Khemia using the included scenario
3 New Crafting Machines:
Alchemy comes with 3 new machines to play with, each with a unique function
The Extractor uses kausimatic crystals to pull magical energy out of mundane substances
The Transmutation Chamber is where most alchemy happens. It can combine magical energies to create new ones, or split them apart again.
The Synthesis Chamber reduces magical substances back into mundane substances like iron, copper or plastic.
Glyphs
Glyphs are special pipes that transport magical energy. They can only be built in certain configurations, so you'll need to think creatively to connect everything together. As you progress, you'll unlock new glyphs!
New Logistics Options:
As a reward for mastering alchemy, you'll gain access to a powerful new logistic option!
Cargo Cranes carry shipping crates between cargo zones. They can also be put on rails for further reach
Shipping Crates and Cargo Zones
Each Shipping Crate is a 2x4 box that can hold 25 stacks of any item.
Each Cargo zone holds one Shipping Crate.
The zones can be configured with requests and signal filters which will be fulfilled by nearby cranes.
Crates are added or removed from a zone manually with the toggle button at the top of the UI
Orbital Teleportation is an alternative to rockets.
Telepads can send loads of cargo into space easily.
Simply place a Cargo-zone on a space platform, and Telepad on the planet.
Nearby cranes will use the telepad to transport shipping crates to and from the space-platform directly!
Batteries are similar to crates, which allow cranes to carry magical energy from place to place
Brine Tanks
Finally, there's the brine tanks. A new form of storage that un-does spoilage!
Simply keep it full of brine, and it will refresh anything placed in it.
It can also be configured to auto-eject items that are 100% fresh
(And it incubates any lifeforms that you happen to place in it)
This is my first mod, so please leave your feedback in the discussion section
Happy Transmuting!
