Hey,
Love your mod,
playing with rural and lightning setting

Power is a non issue - solar at day, lightning at night.
Growing everything is fun challenge to get it rolling. Think i have a expandable setup for later (just got to violet/yellow sience)

But since with lightning on nauvis i have a suggestion:
Is it possible to make lightning only "random" and night - maybe intervals between 1 and 3 nights - sometimes there is a storm, sometimes there isnt.

Also i had to add a mod (surface restrictions? never heard of them.) because i couldnt build lightning towers on nauvis.
Though if it works with only your mod active - i have a mod compatibility issue on my end.

Also what happens if i still add a mod that adds other planets later on - would that allow me to build spaceships again? would be cool if i could.

Thanks for the kind reply!

If you start a new game with stormy setting, 2 techs are added for collectors, the first one is available after medium power poles unlock. You also start with 50 in your inventory. If that isn't happening, it is another mod changing something.

I never understood how the lightning actually works, I just copied Fulgora's lightning properties. I tried to figure it out, but to no avail. I wanted it to increase damage with evolution.

The rocket that SiF uses, is the old rocket that doesn't send player/cargo up to space. Space is sort of locked out in this mod.

If you enjoy rural mode though, I built an entire planet around plants, "Foliax". It is part of the space ecosystem but has the SiF rural mode kicked up to 100.

Thanks,

will do after I had my share of rural nauvis only.

Though at night (since lightning hits and kills biters, too) my ups are getting tanked (seems to need a lot of performance - though mostly i run at 120 ups, droppping to ~100 at night with noticeable lag)

Yea, I noticed that too. The lightning strikes anything that is in a generated chunk. The price of free power on a planet with enemies and lightning!
