Planet Pelagos

Welcome to Pelagos. Insular planet rich in tropical coconut palms, methane deposits, and mysterious lifeforms.
Harvest coconuts, process them into oil, sealant, and biofuels, experiment with fermentation, and use high-temperature calciners
to improve smelting processes in your factory.

Build around THE Cargo Ships mod

Cargo Ships mod
- Essential dependency
- I love Cargo ships mod, but I always find it difficult to fit into vanilla game.
- I have tried dredgeworks with wayward seas , but they replace vanilla gleba progression which is my favourite planet.
- So I created a planet-mod designed around using ships as the main transportation option.

Canal Excavator mod

Canal Excavator mod
- Essential dependency
- You can't find stone patches on Pelagos. But you can mine ground with Canal Excavator.
1. Mine big rock on Pelagos to unlock it.
2. Craft an Excavatable surface
3. Mine it with the excavator to get some stone

NEW Pollution type: Electromagnetic waves

Electromagnetic Waves are produced by every electric machine and most generators. Interestingly, burner and diesel machines are considered more ecological here. This pollution type is only present on Pelagos

Calciner

- A big fluid-powered furnace.
- Can and should be used like regular furnace.
- Provides an extra 50% productivity.
- Allows the high-temperature purification and transformation of raw materials into refined minerals.
- Should accept any fluid with "Fuel Value". Check fluids like light oil in game wiki

Diesel Machines

- Fuel-powered machines that run on liquid fuels instead of electricity.
- Allows off-grid automation but requires constant fuel supply.

Deep sea and wooden platform

The deep sea of Pelagos is a place where you can’t place landfill.
The good thing is that you can use something other than foundations.
Wooden platforms are modular surfaces that allow you to place selected machines and infrastructure on water.
You can use them to expand your factory into deep seas, lakes, rivers, or oceans, while keeping placement restricted to lightweight, stable structures.

Giving new life to vanilla mechanics

Fish are a good starting source of nutrients on Pelagos. They are also essential for progression. Fish breeding recipe. You can use the fish breeding recipe on Pelagos.
New recipes will also make wood more usefull than before, you can turn it into spoilage creating local source of nutrients, or use calciner to create coal

Integrations with other planets/mods:

Arig

• Landfill productivity also affects Sandstone foundation

Maraxsis

• Coconut Sealant can be turned into Super Sealant Substance if Maraxis is installed.
• Recipe enables itself when you research "Project Seadragon" just like regular Super Sealant Substance recipe
• Fluids used in pelagos diesel machines can also be used in diesel submarine

Cerys

• Pelagos Methane overrides Cerys Methane if Cerys is installed.
• Methane is essential resource on Pelagos and it is almost unused on Cerys (vented into atmosphere).
• With Pelagos you can now barrel up Methane and ship to other planets.

Boompuff Agriculture

• Puff Gas can be used as Calciner fuel

AAI Vechicles:Ironclad

• Ironclad is part of pelagos tech tree if both mods are present
• Adjusted Recipe to make it balanced around other ships

Wood themed mods

• In addition to coconuts, the coconut palm gives a small amount of wood.
• Calciner allows wood carbonization (turning wood into coal).
• Pelagos research allows wood spoiling in a biochamber (turning wood into spoilage).

colorfull_biochamber

• https://mods.factorio.com/mod/colorful_biochamber
• all pelagos recipes now have 4 tint colors, so they will work with colorfull biochamber

Great mods to install with pelagos:
