Have you ever thought that Aquilo was too easy once you understood the mechanics of freezing?
Do you think that endgame technologies don't cost enough science packs?
Would you like to spice up your next visit to Aquilo without adding new items or technologies?

In that case, this mod is for you!


Better Aquilo:

This mod add a little extra challenge by making some recipes more complex and a bit more expensive.
At this stage, you already have a base on the other four planets, and scaling up to succeed on Aquilo is entirely feasible.

  • Now you'll need a petrochemical setup on Aquilo to make light oil for fluoroketone. Enjoy pipes madness.

  • Fluoroketone need ice to be cooled. This makes it a little less easy to obtain ‘free energy’ from fusion. Space and Fulgora have ice, but Nauvis, Vulcanus and Gleba have other energy sources, so why replace them with fusion?

  • Fusion Cell no longer consume holium plates, but requires holium as a catalyst, like Kovarex enrichment.

  • Science packs cost slightly more and output an additional byproduct fluid to manage.

  • Last but not least, quantum processors actually are an endgame advanced technology that is difficult to master. They are slow to manufacture and now cost a quality module.

In addition:

  • Some technologies are more expensive.

  • Robots are not welcome, but to avoid nerfing construction via personal robots, it is the roboports that consume more heat instead.

  • Rail supports cannot be built directly into the deep ammonia ocean, but can still be built on the ice platform. (This is mostly for common sense reasons, as the FFF-432 said the ammonia ocean "it's at least 200km deep")


Most changes can be customised in the settings !


This is my first mod, I hope you like it :)
