Welcome to Aquilo! In this mod, you will try to survive on the most remote, cold, and empty planet. However, as we know, there are no basic resources on Aquilo, and this mod will change that.

Start

When you start a new game, you will find yourself on Aquilo. You have nothing, but basic resources can be obtained from lithium icebergs, and fuel from fuel piles. After that, it will be possible to build automated production facilities.

How get copper, iron, coal and stone

This mod adds new recipes to the game to make it possible to play on Aquilo without access to other planets.
To create iron, copper, stone, and coal, you will need ammonia and oil. Oil is processed into associated petroleum gas, then mixed with ammonia to form a reaction that produces ammonium carbonate. This ammonium carbonate is mixed with lithium to extract iron, copper, and stone. But how do you get coal? The answer is simple: we pyrolyze oil and ammonia, and as a by-product we get associated petroleum gas.

New resources

New resources have been added: apatite, sodium, ikofruit, and super polymers. Lithium brine is now an alkaline solution. You can learn how to extract sodium from it, and sodium is needed to create alloy steel (a new resource). Alloyed steel can be used to create a new building: the Thermal Core. It is a very powerful heater that heats everything within a large radius. In addition, the recipe for the cryogenic plant has been changed, and it no longer requires Fulgora.
You can also create super polymers from ikofruit, plastic, lithium, and fluorine. These can be used to create a super-long manipulator. This is a useful material whose use will be expanded in the future.

Ikofruit

With this mod, you can now grow new ikofruits in a special building. Ikofruit is useful for creating super polymers and food.
Its seeds can be obtained from the ammonia ocean by processing water. After that, you will need to create a farm and obtain apatite. And you will be able to grow them. However, they are useless on their own and must be processed. After processing, you will receive seeds and processed ikofruit, but hurry up—it quickly hardens into an ikofruit plate, which is a useful material. Purified ikofruit can be used to make canned food.

Hunger

With this mod, you will have to keep an eye on your health bar. Now you can starve, meaning you will passively lose health. To restore it, eat canned food or fish.

Mantle mining

You can now mine mantles with update 1.4.0!
The mod adds a new building - the Mantle miner, which unlocks after researching the T3 Architect's cars and cryogenic science packs. With it, you can extract pieces of mantle and then process them into ore. To process the mantle, you will need a centrifuge, a crusher, acids, and ammonia. Grind a piece of mantle and obtain different types of mantle, whether sulfuric or metallic. Then process it with sulfur or a centrifuge, depending on what you need. Learn new processing methods and get more resources.
