A survival rebalance for Vulcanus. Sulfuric acid is drastically throttled, lava metallurgy consumes water, and coal liquefaction requires tungsten carbide tooling with a 15% chance of consumption. Adapt or parch.
Small changes concerning balance, gameplay, or graphics.
Version: 1.1.0
Date: 19. 07. 2026
Balancing:
- Tungsten carbide produced by coal liquefaction is no longer affected by productivity bonuses.
- Silicone lubricant now also requires 2 carbon per craft.
Changes:
- Silicone lubricant will use sand instead of stone as its filler ingredient if a "sand" item is present in the game (e.g. added by another mod).
- Added a carbon icon to the silicone lubricant recipe and technology.
Version: 1.0.0
Date: 12. 07. 2026
Features:
- Forked for Factorio 2.1
Balancing:
- Changed that for coal liquification there is a 85% chance that tungsten carbide is returned as its acting as a catalyst.
Version: 0.1.0
Date: 01. 12. 2024
Features:
- Initial Release
- Added Silicone Lubricant
Balancing:
- Sulfuric Acid yield on Vulcanus reduced by ~92.5% (but decay rate reduced by ~85%)
- Replaced Sulfuric Acid Neutralisation with Sulfuric Acid Reduction
- Metal-from-lava recipes now require water and output (165C) steam
- Removed Simple Coal Liquefaction
- Coal Liquefaction now requires Tungsten Carbide
