Gleba restrained

by aldoran

Gleba's only export now is science and carbon fiber (with small rebalance). Biolab removed.

Mod Intentions

  • Fresh Agricultural Science: It will be harder to produce fresh agricultural science, but it spoils much slower now.
  • No Captivity needed: Biolabs have been removed and replaced with repeatable tech upgrades that improve the speed and productivity of normal labs. Promethium science now takes Agricultural science instead of biter eggs. No technology outside the Captivity line requires capturing a biter spawner.
  • Updated Recipes: Technology recipes no longer rely on gleba materials, except for carbon fiber, which now costs about twice as much fruit.
  • Module Unlocks: Production Module 3 now uses holmium and unlocks after Fulgora.

Full Changelist

Spoilage Adjustments

  • Yumako spoil time: 1h → 20m
  • Jellynut spoil time: 1h → 20m
  • Bioflux spoil time: 2h → 8m
  • Agriculture Science Pack spoil time: 1h → 8h

Egg Freshness Update

  • Pentapod eggs no longer come out fresh: they inherit freshness from their ingredients (reset_freshness_on_craft: true → false).

Recipe Changes

  • Carbon Fiber: 10x Mash → 4x Bioflux
  • Stack Inserter: 10x Jelly, 2x Carbon Fiber → 10x Carbon Fiber
  • Production Module 3: 1x Biter Egg → 1x Holmium Plate (researched with Electromagnetic instead of Agricultural science)
  • Efficiency Module 3: 5x Spoilage → 1x Carbon Fiber (now requires the Carbon fiber technology)
  • Promethium Science Pack: 10x Biter Egg → 1x Agricultural Science Pack (technology no longer requires Biter egg handling)

Technology Changes

  • Overgrowth Soil: no longer requires Biter egg handling (no biter spawner capture needed); it requires Agricultural science instead.

Removed Feature

  • Biolab: Removed (its technology and recipe are gone; the item and building are hidden)

New Lab Research

  • Added lab research levels: 7 → 16, using Agricultural Science Packs, which improve the speed and productivity of basic labs.
