WIP

Something more challenging than a vanilla run yet less mind-boggling than a bobs/angels/pyanodon marathon... for when your brain can't handle either extreme after a day at work :-)

Vague aims

  • Stay simple. Be a tightly integrated Vanilla++
  • Make water sources more useful
  • Increase copper and stone usage in the iron-heavy early game
  • Stick fairly close to vanilla tech, but make recipes slightly more complex
  • Try to avoid tiers. The MK2/3/4...N grind isn't very interesting

Compatibility

Intended for a fresh mostly-vanilla game with other mods that don't modify vanilla production chains too much, but does still load up ok with bobs/angels turned on (for example).

Resources
