Space Age Overhaul – Maraxsis Compatibility
A small compatibility patch between Space Age Overhaul and the Maraxsis planet mod.
The problem
Space Age Overhaul locks several foundry casting recipes behind a pressure requirement, effectively making them Vulcanus-only. On Maraxsis (and its deep-sea trench), the pressure is completely different, so these recipes become unavailable even though you have a working foundry down there.
What this mod does
It re-enables the full casting recipe set on both Maraxsis and the Maraxsis trench, while keeping the recipes limited to casting-enabled planets only (they will not become craftable everywhere):
- Casting: Iron
- Casting: Steel
- Casting: Iron gear wheel
- Casting: Iron stick
- Casting: Pipe
- Casting: Pipe to ground
- Casting: Copper
- Casting: Copper cable
- Casting: Low density structure
- Concrete from molten iron
- Molten iron from lava
- Molten copper from lava
This is done via a binary allows-casting surface property (0 = no casting, 1 = casting enabled), so the restriction stays clean and shows up nicely in the recipe tooltip (localized in English and Japanese).
Works alongside sao-moshine-compat
Both this mod and sao-moshine-compat share the same allows-casting property and apply the identical common recipe set, so every casting-enabled planet — Vulcanus, Maraxsis, the Maraxsis trench and Moshine — behaves the same way. The property is defined defensively, so the two compat mods can be installed together in any load order without conflict.
Requirements
This mod does nothing on its own — it only takes effect when both Space Age Overhaul and Maraxsis are installed.
