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 Maraxsis sand problem

a month ago
(updated a month ago)

Adding Vesta to the game changes the sand recycling recipe to produce stone instead of sand. Maraxsis requires upcycling sand to uncommon quality to produce glass. However, this is currently impossible without unlocking Vesta first to obtain the recipe that transforms stone into sand.

Proposed solution: Add this recipe when unlocking Maraxsis as well

You can use quality modules in the mining drills on the Maraxis surface. Since sand is unlimited there, getting rare sand that way is pretty feasible. Not sure if that's the intended method, though.

[p.s. edit: you can toss the unwanted sand off the trench entrance, btw]
