General Idea
Just building towards phase 5. Building spread all over the map and building form over function, while keeping nature. Be as diverse as possible and look at building styles more than at productivity. Build semi-realistic, with no clipping. See it as Digital Lego. Use mods to enhance the experience, not to make it easier.
Mods That I have installed
| Boken Mods : Needed | Broken Mods : Wanted |
|---|---|
| Item Dispenser Looks and dispense nice More Swatch Slots for more color | Recipe Maker for those things we do not yet have Plant Safe Vehicles to please nature |
| Working Mods : Needed | Working mods : Nice To Have | Mods: To test |
|---|---|---|
| Halflings Half sized walls Hotterbars Using F1 – F10 Structural Solution Fences. And some more Sky UI Make nice screenshots More Decorations Making more details Small refineries Because they are small DI More Lights Having more lights Conveyer Wall Holes because it is missing Finer Foundation Rotation to get that right angle | No World Bounds to build outside the world Auto Copy And Paste Settings Easier to place signs All Poles With Indicator Lights Just looks nice Doors Anywhere Enter and leave where you want Halflings Small Rail Signals Smaller signals for stations Remove Empty Dimension Remove unwanted ones. More Sign Spots Difficulty Tuner Change the amount for Phases Build Menu Organiser Change the order you see things No Z-Fighting Stop infatuating location things should not be Translucent Belts Just makes it look interesting | Key Bind Chat Micro Manage Third Person View Sorting the Unsortable No Clearance |
Some mods I tested in U8 or 1.0 and get a hard no, because I did not like them personally. Smart Mod, Special Containers, X3-Signs, Moar Factories (Because it does not work), DI More Glass and Stuff, an many others.
Standard Iron Ore and Concrete Factory
Made from local materials Iron Ore and Limestone as they are plentiful. The recipe and the image. More info. These are build all over the map. You will need two miners, 13 constructors and 5 smelters and almost 70 MW. From an impure node you can make: 45 concrete, 45 iron rods, 40 iron plates, 30 cable and 20 wire.
Building rules
- Destruction is an essential part of the game.
- Build “backwards” with the general idea of Phase 5 having everything in storage.
- Build a general storage with Phase 5 in mind
- Have each factory a separate building.
- Reduce production over building.
- Use mods, but within reason
- Possibly no Blueprint usage.
- As little distraction, so no Space Elevator unless needed and a clean HUD
- HUB gets an inconvenient location. Like in the back of a VW.
- Loose everything when you die.
- Play in wussy mode.
- As little destruction as possible. Save the planet.
