Toxic Wasteland is a true overhaul mod. Our mission is to push the engine to its limits, exploring the pinnacle of realism and challenge.
This is a completely overhauled mod from the ground up, including various original, realistic mechanics. This means it may not be compatible with any other major overhauls or mods that make content modifications somewhere.
In the current version, the full scope of this vision may not yet be fully apparent. It is currently recommended only for early-game exploration in Sandbox or Freeplay modes. This mod is designed for veteran players with at least 200+ hours of experience who are familiar with other complex overhaul mods.
Regarding language packs, currently only English translations are supported in real time, which is more beneficial for development. Other language packs will be added after the game is fully developed.
Currently, there's even a lack of annotations and narrative structure regarding items, technology, recipes, and game progression. If you find the content confusing, that's perfectly normal, even for a seasoned player.
Milestone: Aiming for full core framework completion by Version 1.0.0.
Vision: The final evolution of this project will introduce a Narrative-Driven Experience, turning automation into an industrial saga.
Commitment: Continuous updates,
This mod breaks linear progression by introducing physical and chemical laws to reshape the planetary resource cycle.
