Fulgora extended


Adds more content to Fulgora and tweaks it in various ways to make it more intriguing. Places a greater focus on ruin salvage, scrap and byproduct production chains, and even ways to source small amounts of uranium. Will have the biggest impact if you are using the 'any-planet-start' (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/any-planet-start) mod and start on Fulgora. Note: Ice is scarce. Raiding ruins is your best source of ice, but scrap sorting still gives a tiny trickle. Notable features: Improved ways of obtaining holmium directly later on (requires forge technology). Expanded recycling from scrap with more useful outputs (We have infinite heavy oil. No need for solid fuel from scrap). Extended ruin raiding. A lot of larger ruins now have multiple levels to be fully mined. Fully mining the biggest ruins can get you some foundations and science packs. Deep oil oceans renamed to deep sludge abyss, with a new fluid an related recipes, and is impassible (also less of it on the map). You can dump items in deep sludge abyss (like lava) but don't inhale while doing so.

g additional intermediate recipe

2 months ago

hello.

I dont have factorio planner in my run right now, but if i have done math correctly i believe that its very easy to get self sustaining "scrap sludge processing" + "scrap sludge purging" loop. (returning between 66 and 788 scrap from initial invested100 scrap depending on productivity module usage). But all this is a secondary issue since quality calcite or quality nuclear fuel cell may be imported. The higher issue i think is that in either way normal scrap mining becomes pointless, so, i suggest adding additional intermediate recipe with input being "energetic scrap sludge" and normal mined "scrap" which would output a workable fluid for "scrap sludge processing", this would result in unavoidable scrap mining requirement. This change could also be done to "scrap sludge purging". I suggest this because it feels depressing seeing millions of scrap with zero value.
