Dissolve ore into Aqua Regia to ship it in bulk via fluid wagons/pipes/rockets, then reconstitute it back into ore later.

Makes ore transport more compact through a conversion process: turn ore into a dissolved fluid, ship it, then restore it where you need it. An optional crystallization step compacts it further for Space Age rocket/space platform cargo.

Core Mechanic

Aqua Regia is the dissolving agent: 1 ore converts to 20 units of dissolved fluid by default. Most of the Aqua Regia is recovered on reconstitution.

Key Features

• Aqua Regia production (400 steam + 10 sulfuric acid → 10 Aqua Regia)
• Ore dissolution and reconstitution recipes
• Optional crystallization step for even more compact Space Age cargo
• Ore support is automatic - any mod's ores work with no configuration, including ores with no resource patch of their own that can only be salvaged by recycling something else (e.g. Space Age's Holmium Ore, from recycling Scrap)
• Configurable attrition rates (roughly 2% per 10-point stack-size gap)
• Chemistry recipes gated behind Chemical Science Pack

Customization

• Adjust attrition rates, liquid-per-ore ratio, crystal stack size
• Toggle acid recovery or crystallization recipes
• Force-include or exclude specific ores by internal name, or turn off automatic detection entirely
