Hard Vulcanus
Difficulty tweaks for Vulcanus. Part of Space Age: Hard Mode, though this mod is standalone.
Certain dependencies of this mod are intended to be used by default, but are listed as optional for maximum customizability. To get the intended experience, enable this mod via the Space Age: Hard Mode modpack.
Tweaks
- If V/F/G Cargo Drops Require Research is installed, Foundry recipes beyond liquids and plate crafting are locked behind a new technology, 'Advanced casting'. As with other Hardcore planets, this incentivizes a small science build prior to launching a rocket.
- The territory of each demolisher is smaller (meaning more demolishers.)
- Demolishers move faster when disturbed (up to +50%).
- The Vulcanus starting area is much smaller.
- Rock yields are increased to compensate for fewer rocks in the starting area.
- The temperature of steam produced by acid neutralisation is reduced to 165 degrees (matching the temperature of steam produced by boilers), making energy more of a constraint.
- Coal liquefaction and Simple coal liquefaction are nerfed to produce less output and take longer.
And from subsidiary mods:
- Lava cannot be transported in pipes.
