** Alpha Release ** Wood becomes part of industry: plywood, boards and boxes of screws go into most buildings, sawn by hand or in a Sawmill, pressed in a Glue Press, grown in a Greenhouse or gathered with the Harvester. New intermediates (steel frames, copper housings, concrete structures, explosive dust) and a new ore, magnesite, smelted into magnesium. New power, new lamps, new buildings! Works with or without Space Age.
Mods introducing new content into the game.
Version: 0.1.43
Date: 2026-10-26
Info:
- First public alpha. Recipes, costs and balance will still change, and saves may need care
between versions.
Features:
- Wood processing: plywood, boards and sawdust, sawn by hand or in batches in the Sawmill, and
pressed back from sawdust in the Glue Press with glue made from heavy oil.
- Boxes of screws on every recipe that uses wood, or a glued variant that needs no screws.
- Wood supply: the Greenhouse grows wood from water and power, and the Harvester, a tree-clearing
vehicle, collects whatever it drives through.
- Sawdust as fuel (wood pellets and briquettes), as landfill and as a floor tile.
- New intermediates: steel frames, copper housings, concrete structures, explosive dust and
hover frames, used across vanilla recipes for buildings, ammunition, science and robots.
- Magnesite ore, smelted into magnesium plates, with patches on Nauvis, Vulcanus and Gleba and
from crushing carbonic asteroids.
- Hydrogen gas and hydrogen fuel cells.
- Operations: buildings that hold up to 50 machines and run as all of them together, for mining
drills, furnaces, assemblers, chemical plants, labs, boilers and steam engines. They can be
filled by hand or by construction robots, and blueprints keep their contents.
- Power: windmills, Solar, Accumulator and Advanced Solar Arrays, with circuit outputs.
- Atmospheric Water Generator, for water without an offshore pump.
- Conveyors: wide loaders for moving items between machines and belts, in four tiers.
- Storehouses and logistic storehouses, and the Large Wooden Chest.
- Steel, concrete and tungsten walls, the Lamp Post and the Light Tower.
- Expanded Toolbelt research, and 10 extra inventory slots by default (a startup setting).
- Space Age: Foundry casting for magnesium plates, copper housings and steel frames; explosive
dust and repair packs from carbon; magnesium platform foundation; Fulgora's scrap yields
boards, plywood and magnesium plates, and superconductors take a magnesium plate.
Known issues:
- The Assembly and Chemical Processing Operations draw power in bursts when fed slowly.
- A Sawmill facing east or west shows its saw blade edge-on.
