Re: Tailings ponds can overflow?

Well, you can just use one of the many Py tanks instead if you don't want to deal with that behaviour... Well look at you Mr "I have so much duralumin that I don't hesitate to use actual storage tanks" ... I hate this type of "If you don't like it, then do something else" respon...

Re: Tailings ponds can overflow?

Overflowing tailing ponds is probably the feature I liked most. Keep them managed and you won't heavily pollute the land, just like the real deal. It's neat and all, but kind-of bogus without a warning. Every other storage system in every mod I've ever played just stops flow when it fills. It's not...

Re: Tailings ponds can overflow?

Farm like structures eat pollution. A lot of it. Although if they aren't placed in the right spot the pollution will still spread out from the buildings in all directions If by "a lot of it" you mean more than is emitted by 400 of Py's other buildings combined? Because pretty much every P...

Re: Tailings ponds can overflow?

Also, is there a bug with how the Py buildings express pollution? Looking at my production tab, it's showing pollution consumption being like 5 times as high as pollution generation for the whole game (where is this extra coming from?), and on the map it shows lots of pollution spreading from my fac...

but it is free landfill and it can catch fire
It can catch fire? How long does it burn for? Does it change after burning? Also, how is it affected by laying bricks on top of it?

Tailings ponds can overflow?

I had a tailings pond for tar that was getting full, then next thing I know, it's half empty and the ground for like 6 tiles in each direction is black and slow to walk on...

Is this just what happens if you let them get too full? Does the spill eventually clear up?

Re: Am I missing something or does the full PyMods mean an absurdly slow start?

Oh yeah, dealing with biters can be painful : I finally managed to muddle through in my 0.16 Death World game to Iron processing 2, which cuts down the cost of steel from the starting 80 ore / beam to iron1 33.33 ore/beam down to a tiny 1.39 ore/beam (less than vanilla, especially considering that ...

Re: Am I missing something or does the full PyMods mean an absurdly slow start?

For the record, things just doubled in speed when I switched over to combustion mixture power and electric miners. I hadn't realized how much more pollution burner miners made than electric, especially when using the powerhouse/turbine. Getting 'clean' power going will be a priority for any future r...

Anyone know where the tech is that unlocks the Mk2 Fawogae plantation? I've got the full Py mods and some QoL stuff, but my "what's it used for" mod isn't showing any tech or crafting recipie for the MK2 Fawogae plantation (or any of the later ones)...?

Re: Am I missing something or does the full PyMods mean an absurdly slow start?

IMO small and efficient is not possible with Pyanodon, it's all about long complex chains and huge machines in huge numbers. I've always been able to go much smaller-scale than most other runs I've seen, but maybe PyMods are different. I'll post back when I get to the mid game. One of the things yo...

Re: Am I missing something or does the full PyMods mean an absurdly slow start?

It's part of Py Petroleum Handling. I don't recall when you first get access to it, but the recipes are done in the Advanced Foundry, which makes them a bit impractical to rush for because those are somewhat expensive buildings. Ah, I never installed petroleum handling because I thought it was just...

Re: Am I missing something or does the full PyMods mean an absurdly slow start?

For the record, I'm an hour and a half into a new save and managed to pocket-craft my first research. The only way I was able to survive that long was to re-roll maps until I spawned in some grass/woods, which soaks up enough pollution to get the basics made. For the record, the early-game with this...

I'm new to Pymods, but an old hand at Bob's and Angel's. In my new run I'm only using PyMods, I'm and hour in and have yet to get even close to being able to research anything.

That may be true for the first stage, but nuclear rockets would be AMAZING for second stages. With a nuclear second stage, you wouldn't need a third stage.
