This mod is a work of art. I find it incredible how you've put all this together. I adore the art style, the look of the housing, the recipes, the humor you put in. Very impressive. I was considering an "endless” railway in vanilla, thinking about what scenery I can put aside it. Now I have a ton of assets and whole villages I can create along my rail tracks, creating a living world. That is awesome!
One point for feedback: why did you put the Clockwork HQ at red + green science? It was very confusing to me when you say in the tips at the start that you will explain how you can make your first settlement when I research the Clockwork HQ. But to get there I have to research the Ember Caste and tons of other stuff that you only explain after I researched Clockwork HQ which comes much later? It seemed so illogical, like you accidently switched out Ember and Clockwork HQ's?
Are still working on it? I haven't come far yet down the line, but I saw some placeholders in the tech tree.
