Description

This mod is for anybody who enjoys suffering and crying in despair. Or science fanatics. Or both.

The whole idea is to keep the vanilla feeling as much as possible (no new fancy/huge buildings etc), but at the same time changing all items, fluids and recipes so that everything is much more complex and closer to the real world.

Changes

It is already mentioned in the mod description but I insist that this is still a work in progress, overhaul mods require a huge amount of work so it can't be done within a day. In short, expect balancing issues and a lot of missing icons, locale entries and any form of freeplay progress.

• Water now contains salt that must be got rid of to be used in most recipes, and electrolysis leads to the production of sodium, chlorine, oxygen, hydrogen and other stuff.
• Halogens, for now only chlorine and its various compounds (hydrogen chloride for example).
• Nitrogen is extracted from the atmosphere and turned into various chemicals like ammonia and nitric acid.
• Sulfur is extracted from waste hydrogen sulfide and is also turned into other stuff including sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid.
• Alkali metals have a lot of usage especially in their carbonate form.
• Oil refining has been made vastly more complicated, now turning clean crude oil into 8 fractions that must be hydrotreated to remove any nasty sulfur compounds and is then processed into a whole lot of organic chemicals.
• As for smelting and metallurgy, steel is now made from iron ore through various methods that have been used throughout human history, copper must be electrorefined before usage, elemental iron is only used for chemistry recipes as it is a pretty useless structural material and silicon is highly purified for solar grade electronics.
• Finally, all intermediates and final products will have their recipe changed to use all those brand new crazy materials, but only once the mod reaches a more advanced state of progress.
• New resources nodes will be available when creating a new game.
