Note: BZ mods will be updated for 2.0, and for the expansion. Hoping for late 2024.

“We celebrate the tree that stretches to the sky, but it is the ground we should ultimately thank.” - Becky Chambers

Adds elemental carbon items to the game, including flake graphite, graphite, diamonds, graphene, and optionally fullerenes, nanotubes, and carbon black. It also adds a crucible intermediate.

If you enjoy vanilla Factorio, Krastorio 2, or Space Exploration, and would like to add a new resource, this mod might be what you're looking for.

If you use this alongside the other Very BZ mods, the game will become quite a bit more complex. While still far less than Angelbob or Pyanodon, it's a big step up from vanilla.

If you want a vanilla-esque game with a just few tweaks, try with just this mod, or a less complex one like Titanium or Lead.

Details

Flake graphite is a mineable resource that is processed into graphite. Graphite can be used in certain recipes, and can be further processed into diamonds and graphene. Optionally (default on), graphite can be processed into fullerenes and then nanotubes. Also optionally (default off), carbon black is available as a byproduct of oil processing, used to make plastic. Finally, you can enable mineable diamonds in the mod settings, though even enabled, they'll be very rare.
