i Thoughts on Putting Tech Behind Electromagnetic/Fulgora

29 days ago
(updated 29 days ago)

Hi all, (again). I was wondering for those of you playing with Space Age, whether this mod should be put behind the electro magnetic science pack. It makes a lot of sense, lore-wise. And I was thinking of doing this, but I also don't want to inhibit anyone's access to the electric train features early on. If I make this change it might affect existing playthroughs, so I thought I would post here:

  • Does this matter to you?
  • How could you see this implemented? Perhaps using some resources found later in the Space Age game?

Personally I think the basic electric trains should be locked behind the EM science, but some of the experimental packs locked behind Cryogenics, requiring advanced tech for cooling and such.
You can change recipes based on mod settings, you might be able to use that to adjust how the tech is unlocked too, depending on whether people want the tech on Nauvis or later.

after trying out the trains and charging, I think all the existing bits should be locked behind EM science, but there should be a nearly-perfect fast charger locked behind cryogenics, with fast charging for all modules and a low failure rate, but lower efficiency (more wasted energy than either slow-charging or regular fast-charging) and maybe a coolant requirement

0.3.2 will introduce a startup setting for locking tech behind electromagnetic stuff and fulgora (and crafting in electromagnetic facility) I'm not too sure on implementing the cryogenic stuff for now but will keep in mind!
