This mod changes the science packs of Vulcanus, Fulgora and Aquilo by making them more challenging to transport between planets, just like Gleba's agricultural science pack.
Small changes concerning balance, gameplay, or graphics.
Version: 0.4.2
Date: 2026-06-18
Features:
- Updated localization files.
- Fixed changelog.
- Finally added alternate card sprites for krastorio 2 spaced out compatibility. (#itjustworks)
Version: 0.4.1
Date: 2026-06-10
Bugfixes:
- Fixed a math function not being called properly, causing the mod to not load correctly with maraxsis
Version: 0.4.0
Date: 2026-06-10
Info:
- This update mostly moves around files, fixes little inconsistencies the mod had, and adds setting so that you can customize your experience.
Features:
- Main new setting: Each science pack changes can be enabled/disabled individually (enabled by default)
This includes cross-compatibility changes
- New balance settings:
Metallurgic science pack "stack size" (default: 30) & "rocket capacity" (default: 600)
Electromagnetic science pack "charging recipe crafting time" (default: 10s)
Cryogenic science pack "heating time" (spoil time ; default: 10 mins)
Corrundum compat: Electrochemical pack spoiling time (default: 5 mins)
Changes:
- Rewritting of a good chunk of my code and the way alternate sprites are loaded to make it easier to read
- Minor rebalancing of the metallurgic research vessels added by maraxsis
- Low charge packs charging recipe: surface restriction now tied to gravity, not pressure (does not change anything in the base game, just helps with other mods)
- Low charge packs recipe: now have the same restrictions as the base game EM packs (99% EM field and not 95-100%, same thing as the previous change)
