Project: Toxic Wasteland (废土计划)

by zhe-yan

Dedicated to the core Factorio spirit: Automation, Logic, and Absolute 'Realism' . As a developer, I am not a designer of "difficulty," but a porter of industrial reality. I believe the complexity of real-world industry provides the most compelling gameplay.

  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.
1. Realistic Chemical Processes
Complex Chains: Moving beyond simple recipes to implement integrated industrial chains like Chlor-Alkali and Zeolite synthesis.

  1. Environmental Waste Recycling
    Pollution Management: Tackle the consequences of expansion using Large Air Purifiers and Samplers.
    Closed-Loop Systems: Waste no longer vanishes; it must be managed through Waste Outfalls or chemical neutralization.

  2. Genetic Engineering
    Bio-Industrialization: Analyze Biter DNA and mutation patterns to unlock biological production tiers.
    Ecological Feedback: Environmental quality directly influences mutation paths, making you the architect of the planet's ecosystem.

  3. Wasteland Aesthetics
    2.0 Rendering: All assets are optimized for the 2.0 engine, utilizing advanced tinting and coordinate shifting for a seamless industrial look.
    Smart Automation: Features like "Smart Standby" allow your factory to "breathe" based on environmental conditions.
