... all mutually comprehensible, but are nevertheless a consistent source of annoyance in mods that make use of words that differ between them (e.g. aluminium/aluminum, color/colour). An example where it might be helpful for an incomplete language to fall back on another might be Norwegian, which the ...

... for the low density structure is welcome for me.

About the recipe, the actual one is good for me : we cant have materials such as carbon fiber, aluminium, titanium or specific plactic like kevlar and others, so it doesnt need a change to my point of view (more plastic for less copper is the only ...

... like different rods being used by the electrolysis process. or the Liquid Florine electrolyte that you dissolve Alumina in to electrolyse into Aluminium, it would only use a small part, the rods are reusable and deteriorate over time, so a tool type item that takes durability (Like science and ...

I think it could be possible to kill several birds with one stone (pun-intended, as you will see), by giving a new recipe using Stone to produce Aluminium (which could be used for Low density structures, among other things) and Silica (which can be refined into Silicon for use in Processing units ...

... like a glimpse now).
Add several resource types. Their deposits should appear only far from starting position, and be less frequent on a map.
Aluminium (or bauxite). Use it after some refine/reprocess in 'low density structure' and some higher tier improvements for flying robots.
Some mineral ...

... um?

Really, if you would have pulled up any other example, it would have been a good one, most likely.
But it's aluminium.
It's an internationally standardised name for element 13, just like literally every other element on the periodic table.
-ium is a latin suffix ...

... Assign patrol warships to protect your cargo transports.

And let's not forget, water water everywhere... needs a good fleet of planes (hello aluminium) to keep out of sea monsters way.

And all these awesome stuff could be a natural expansion of boats!

Now given all these (boats, planes, etc ...

... 75% easily). There are also some disadvantages over electric. Pretty mus only two advantages of ICE as it is cheaper building material (steel or aluminium, instead of copper, steel and iron (ferromagnet) ) and fuel density (or weight of fuel cell required to generate same output power )

Also ...

... the game? It seems like a no brainer to me. I know you are going to yell PLASTIC or LDS! But what im talking about is adding CF as additional item, and using it for flying robots, space and satelites.

Anyway id like to know the reason why it hasnt been used yet.

same with Aluminium.

Thanks

bunce.

@ ssilk:

How comes that there is no thread linked about someone suggesting things like Bauxite ore for Aluminium being a thing... and Sand for Silicium?
Simple lazyness. :)

No, it's really hard to search such an topic for old posts. It's much easier the other way around and add links.

And for me ...

... to be used by something else too to increase the re-usability, otherwise a Chemplant would have to do, which would also be somewhat weird.

Real aluminium is produced by electrolysis. I thought also some kind of electrolysis device with huge energy consumption. But on the other hand, it would be ...

I have had aluminium in my mind. It would be more rare than iron and copper and used for robot frames, flying combat robots and low density structures. Maybe in processing units and higher tier armor equipment too. But I thought that it must have been been suggested about billion times.

There are various recipes that could profit from both new ores and their follow-up products and it would make a lot more sense too in certain cases ...

Zinc (used to galvanize steel; that is protect it from weathering).

As well as other metals like:
Aluminium (High-strength, low weight alloys, including magnets with nickel and cobalt)
Cobalt (used in high-strength steels, also part of aluminium nickel ...

I think this suggestion is not concrete enough.

New types of resources will come (Uranium? Aluminium?), but if new types of Intermediate products from the long existing current resources will come into vanilla...? Without a plan what to do with them surely not. :)

You can do this yourself: Create a ...

... d really like to see an alternative to normal Electric Poles, so that they can be made without Wood.

Other than that, *shrug*, no. Even if Sand, Aluminium and Uranium gets added to the game (and the devs seem to indicate that they will at most add Uranium). That still doesn't create a valid need for ...

I think it had more than just suggesting salt and alum individually here.
I thought only few more would sufficiently compliment the basic resource variety unlike other suggestion called for even more.
Anyway, if it wasn't enough to put a new post, I get it now.

Please search, before you post new suggestions:

Coal, iron, copper, oil, water, wood. Among those, coal, iron, copper, oil are the principle resources.
I think game could use few more basic raw resource type so resource gathering becomes little more challenging.
I think 2 more would suffice as dev seems to be adding more exotic material later ...
