Hydraulic Machines introduces a new class of production powered by lubricant-driven hydraulic systems.
Hydraulic automation
Instead of relying on electricity, these machines operate using fluid pressure, enabling high-intensity industrial processes built around oil infrastructure.
Hydraulic shaper
Hydraulic shapers provide a compact and powerful alternative for advanced production chains. They allow for high speed shaping metal sheets into other intermediates
Petrochemical expansion
Hydraulic Machines expands into advanced petrochemistry.
The hydraulic petrochemical plant is a large-scale 9×9 facility designed for high-pressure oil processing. It enables complex refining chains with multiple outputs, including new fluids such as naphtha, residual oil, and gasoline.
Crude oil can now be broken down into more detailed fractions, allowing deeper control over fuel production and resource management.
Rubber and materials
Rubber is introduced as a new intermediate resource, produced from petroleum byproducts.
It is required to construct hydraulic machines, reinforcing the dependency on oil-based infrastructure.
Industrial modules
To fully utilize their potential, Industrial Modules are introduced as a specialized upgrade path.
These modules are more powerfull than regular productivity modules but machines that can use industrial modules can't use quality or efficiency modules.
Compatibilities:
- Diesel Machines - Diesel machines will use industrial modules if both mods are installed
- Pelagos - Calciner will use industrial modules if both mods are installed
- Burner Foundry - Foundry will use industrial modules if both mods are installed
- Lignumis - Lumber mill can use industrial modules if it's burner powered and both mods are installed (can be toggled in settings)
- Arig - Press can use industrial modules if it's steam powered and both mods are installed (can be toggled in settings)
