[MOD] (Alpha 3F) Industrial RIM (v.1.1.2)

Actually why don't (is coal becomes a bigger part) give it some downsides?
Maybe some 'bugs' dislike the possible pollution it gives
(inspired by Factorio)

Coal use is going to be dirty, waste and pollution are both planned parts

Wow this mod M8 it going to be massive

Haha, That's the aim M8

Only thing i'd say regarding coal as a heavy starting point (I voted yes for the record) is that it takes away from the typical solar problem of "no power at night", so there's gotta be a big "cost" to making it cheaper and easier to set up.

This might be a long-stretch, but what if there had to be someone MANNING the initial coal plants (until AI/Automated Power is researched), it would create new sets of problems.

Or at the very least, if it generated unhappiness to nearby colonists or damage over time, it might emulate the RL dangers of being a coal miner.

Having coal plants manned really changed the balance of things. Making coal your only power source early on already makes the game more of a challenge, having people manually mantle coal plants or burners etc... really made the game a struggle, even on Phoebe.

No kidding -_-
don't make it too easy, don't make it too hard that's my suggestion on how you should balance the game out

And that's how I plan on doing it . I've removed the legendary difficulty that came mandatory with industrial rim v1.1.2

Hello! You intend to create copper mines?

Hello! You intend to create copper mines?

I do.

Edit : I'm also making it harder to get, seeing as you could get 2000 copper and be fine the whole game.

My friend you are a gentleman and a sir.

This mod add so much to the game. I was kind of bored afther 1 run on vanilla, then I downloaded this... and I'm on my 4th run now and not even close to getting bored of it.

I do got a question though. What is "carbon" exactly?
I know it's just a game, but if you want it to be more realistic you could make the chains: "wood => charcoal" + "iron ore" => "metal" and/or "coal => cokes" + "iron ore" => "metal"
Also a converyor belt "combiner" would be nice, it would literaly combine 2 conveyor belts so you don't need 2 parallel belts going to the same thing.
Some other ideas regarding the industrial theme:
   -Foodsilos and other recource silos (or crates/boxes)
   -Automatic meal cooking system
   -Reinforced titanium doors
   -heavy duty spotlights (basicly directional lighting of some sort)
   -Crematorium (for dead body disposal)
   -Titanium defencive sturctures/walls (an upgrade for the sandbags)

1. Carbon has been removed for v1.2.0.
2. I like your idea there, I will look into it
3. Food silos are on my to do list, but not right now, as are crates and boxes
4. Automatic meal cooking system. I like it! It's straight on the near top of my to-do list.
5. Reinforced Titanium Doors is a no go, Titanium has been removed for v1.2.0
6. I like the idea of heavy duty spotlights, but making it only light up in 1 direction is harder than you'd think
7. Crematorium's are a no from me sorry.
8. Again Titanium stuff is a no-go, as Titanium has been removed in v1.2.0

I expected the lighting thing might not be that easy. As for the titanium ideas, regular metal could do the trick also, it's mainly the stronger doors and cover I wanted. As for the body disposal, I'll guess I'll have to keep torching those bodypiles with molotovs and frags then...
