DESCRIPTION UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Ribbonia

Ribbonia is a pre-Aquilo ribbonworld with the main themes of fluid crafting, spatial reasoning and fun integration of Renai Transportation. It is my love letter to the game Factorio once was and the game it now is as well as its awesome modding community.

On Ribbonia you will

• Learn how to handle and craft with fusion plasma, using plasma ducts, specialised plasma pumps and train wagons as well as recipes inspired by real world industrial plasma usage.

• Unlock and master the ways of Renai Transportation, throw items using thrower inserters, let your trains jump across gaps using train ramps and much more!

• Let C.H.A.R.L.E.S. show you the way of Fulgora and tell you about the ancient Fulgorans, their rise and downfall as well as their crippling gambling addiction.

• Ribbonia has a completely variable width, if you'd like a challenge you can make the Ribbonworld as small as 9 tiles. If spatial challenges aren't your thing you can make it as wide as you'd like! The standard is 32 tiles and there is a hall of fame for everyone beating it on 9 tiles.

• Learn the way of fluid recycling using the pneumatic press: Squeeze the fluids out of batteries, fish, eggs and everything else that requires fluid to craft.

• Miniaturise trains, splitters and other contraptions using the pneumatic press: Unlock mini trains, lane splitters and tiny solar panels.

• Much like molten ore, learn how to mould bars, circuits and even cannon shells out of molten plastic!

• Unlock the mighty casting plant, perfect for fluid casting on Ribbonia and anywhere else!

Mod compat

This mod has explicit compat patches with dozens of other planets, standalone mods and overhauls. To list a few:

• Unlock ways to locally produce molten plastic on over 15 different modded planets, planned with their mod authors.

• Unlock local usage of the pneumatic press, squeeze liquid ingredients out of items, press sand into stone or squeeze the oil out of coconuts.

• Unlock plasma handling for dozens of modded machines, melt down gold and aluminum and unleash hell upon your enemies using plasma weaponry.

• Let the casting plant handle any modded recipes using molten ingredients, including molten tungsten and alternative casting recipes.

• Various compat patches with Crushing Industry, Age of Industry, Scrappy Industry, Lunar Panels, Solar panel tiers and many other content mods!

Music

Ribbonia uses the nostalgic Factorio music pre .12, remastered by the fantastic ruhroh! As well as some fan favourite Nauvis tracks and transitions.
