Tired of shipping calcite from Vulcanus? This mod adds three ways to make calcite on any planet from Krastorio 2 materials, plus a new intermediate, Lime, made from wood and steam in any furnace. All recipes are unlocked by Calcite processing.

Recipes

Default values. All of them can be changed in the startup settings.

Recipe Machine Time Ingredients Results
Calcite from sand Chemical plant 3 s 4 sand, 50 water, 5 dirty water 1 calcite, 50 water
Calcite from mineral water Chemical plant 1 s 20 mineral water, 50 ammonia 1 calcite, 20 water
Calcite from lime Chemical plant 2 s 10 lime, 50 ammonia, 50 steam (any temperature) 1 calcite, 10 water
Lime Any furnace 1 s 20 wood, 100 steam (any temperature) 2 lime, 5% chance of 1 coke

All calcite recipes allow productivity modules.

Furnace steam input

So lime can be made in any furnace, every smelting furnace without a fluid input (stone, steel, electric, and furnaces from other mods) gets a steam input pipe. The pipe only appears and connects while a fluid recipe is selected, so normal smelting builds are unaffected. You can turn this off in the startup settings.

Settings

  • Every ingredient amount, output amount, craft time and the coke chance is a startup setting, so you can tune the balance to your pack. Setting a fluid amount to 0 removes it from the recipe.
  • Ammonia type: choose Krastorio 2 ammonia (default, made on Nauvis) or Space Age ammonia (from Aquilo). This setting is hidden when Krastorio 2 Spaced Out is installed, because that mod converts all ammonia to Krastorio 2 ammonia.

Compatibility

  • Requires Krastorio 2 for sand, dirty water, mineral water and coke.
  • Works with Krastorio 2 Spaced Out.
  • You can add it to an existing save. If Calcite processing is already researched, the recipes unlock automatically.
