Welcome to planet Virentis!!!
The planet of agriculturing, cooking, and trading.
Right here, you will achieve your dream of becoming a farmer in Factorio, it design to be mixture of Factorio + Stardew Valley.
This planet require to complete Gleba first. Easier than Aquilo, but harder than Gleba.
Concept is simple, you plant, you cook, and you trade for unique materials.
IMPORTANT
This mod is in beta state, which means it will have many bugs and unbalance, feel free to report them and suggest in the discussion tab.
Some items may not much useful, because it's plan to use in further update.
When a major update come, it has a very high chance that you need to regenerate the map.
I suggested you to play this mod again or wait for final version.

Decoration System
They act like a beacon, small benefit, but need no energy and seperate beacon count from normal beacon, so why not!
While adding aesthetics to the terrain. Now, your factory will look like a real city instead of just factory.
Reward
- Better nutrients production (also at Gleba)
- Living inserter: inserter without electric
- Eternal lantern: provide large area 50% efficiency (increase with quality)
- Tesla turret shooting speed
Main challenges
- Fertile soils and trader can't recreate or move, so you need to expand for more resource, forcing enormous usage of train. You may want to design your train system carefully, or you may regrets later.
- While enemies here is tougher with Behemoth tier, and higher evolution rate.
- Everything here is base on foods which are spoilable, if you hate Gleba, this mod is not for you.
- The default settings is pretty challenging, about average of one town every ~500-1000 block, that mean you have to clear ~10-20 enemy bases
Resource importing
- Biochamber is a must to start here
- Some basic stuff like Red chip, Sulfur, Plastic, etc, can't produce here. Eventhough it not use in the main production line, but it use to produce base-game high tier machines. So you may want to import basic machines like Assembling machine, Modules, Bots.
Todo list
- Fishing system
- Husbandry age
- More biomes and its production line: frozen, lava, mycelia
- More rewards (maybe unique turret)
- Another planet (maybe moon)
