Planet Vesta


A gas giant in the distance. There appears to be a lone chunks of rock spread about in the almost concerningly thick atmosphere. Vesta is the gas world, and all about gases. There are quite a few ways to play the mod: Easy Mode, which features a reduced recipe chain. Less intermediates, less structures. Platform Mode, which removes the rock formations and places you on a lone platform. Realistic Gases Mode, which replaces all the icons and world generation with more realistic colors.

g Lithium brine question

25 days ago

In the patch notes for version 2.1.9, it is recommended to import lithium brine to Vesta from Aquilo to account for the nerfed recipe. How are you supposed to do that? Unless I am mistaken, lithium brine isn't a valid ingredient for barrelling. Hopefully I am just missing something obvious.

Version: 2.1.9
Date: 1.17.2026
Bugfixes:
- Easy Mode: Massively nerfed the "lithium-brine" recipe. Recipe now has a surface restriction to only allow usage on Vesta's surface. Crafting time has been increased from 0.5 seconds to 15 seconds, and output per craft has been reduced from 10 to 5. You are now incentivized to import Lithium Brine from Aquilo to Vesta. I believe this is a reasonable nerf to the recipe.

I forgot you couldn't barrel it (which is an odd design decision mind you)
Either way, just make more buildings or use Legendary structures.

Got it. I will do just that.
