Key Features
Custom Science Pack Reskin
Fully reskins all vanilla, Space Age and modded science packs / tech cards. Every research item gets a unique new look, solving the problem of identical science icons in late-game.
Planet Icon Overlay
Automatically adds corresponding planet badges on all matched science packs. You can instantly tell which planet a science pack is produced on. Overlays apply to items, recipes and tech tree icons with adaptive scaling.
Tech Tree Icon Sync
All tech icons and infinite productivity tech icons are updated to match the new reskinned style, keeping your research menu consistent and clean.
Configurable Science Recipe Overhaul
Adds a startup option to enable enhanced science pack crafting difficulty. This system appends extra thematic ingredients to all vanilla, Space Age and K2 science recipes, scaling progression difficulty for mid and late-game multi-planet playthroughs.
This feature is toggleable via startup setting and purely additive. It never overwrites or removes vanilla/modded recipe ingredients, ensuring full mod compatibility and save safety.
- Vanilla / Space Age Mode: Adds simple, logical late-game components (modules, tanks, circuits, engines) to raise baseline science crafting difficulty
- Krastorio2 Mode: Overhauls science progression with industrial ingredients, special fluids, K2 rare metals and advanced machinery for a harder, more immersive endgame grind
- Planet-Specific Thematic Recipes: Matches unique ingredients to each planet’s environment (fluids for Aquilo, industrial materials for Vulcanus, bio-components for Gleba, etc.)
Only appends ingredients, no original recipe data is erased or overwritten.
Dedicated Science Category
Creates an independent science item tab. All science packs and lab-related items are automatically sorted into this group, cleaning up your crafting menu.
