Is there a way to get acetone acid ?

Like using sugar to create it ?

Using green catalyst are too expensive for making bio plastic.

Hi Angel,

I like playing on marathon mode. I have always wondered why on marathon mode casting alloys have different ratio that casting pure metals:

50 Molten Iron -> 4 Iron plate
but
40 Molten Bronze -> 4 Bronze plate

Is there some logic behind it or it is just an oversight?

Thanks.

Hi there, Angel!

Your modes are really nice, but I have a question: do you post changelogs for alpha/beta versions? I can see the mod can be updated, but cannot see what has changed.

I'm making bio-plastic by turning almost anything into a nutrient mush, and refining that into acetone. It's working a treat!

There's a second pathway producing acetic acid from a fermentation base (eg: corn), but I haven't started on that yet.

any guide on that ?

acetone require green metal catalyst

This mod will help you find all the recipes to create the selected item.
As I understand

you wanted something like that. If you wanted something else you may want to rephrase it or explain it better or wait for someone who understands what you wanted.

Just wanted to say that after a long break I've been playing with the new Bio Industries mod and it's been *fantastic*. Through a bit of exploring I got some bio-plastic running, which gave me just enough to plastic to make a handful of circuits, which in turn meant I could construct some logistic train stations.

The balance feels really good. Exploration is rewarded. Bio-tech provides modest returns at first, but doesn't require a giant petrochem setup, and just having started my third farm I can see how it can grow nicely as more seeds are collected. That feels like it fills a really good niche: small-scale production at the start, scalable production if you work with it.

My only gotcha has been I got lucky with one of the plants that provides crystal dust, but I'm still on my first two science packs, so I'm not anywhere near along enough to be able to use it. Have you considered adding a recipe to turn crystal dust into mineralised water? This would mean I could use it for algae growth or even just void it, rather than having it accumulate until my sulphuric acid chain is running.

Many thanks again for all the amazing work you do!

Well, why don't you have a sulfuric acid chain? That's easy tech. Or do you mean you don't have enough sulfuric acid?

Sulfur are the hardest to get in early game.

If you didnt have lead

And you only need a little bit of sulfur to start the slag to ore loop and then you have a sulfur breeder.

Sulfur is super easy to get, no idea how people can have problems with it, unless playing seablock or something and then its really not Angels fault-

Then tell us how. Washing coal isn't enough here.

Wash all the coal you use for power, do sorting for chunks, put prod moduls in the washing,... there are a lot of ways to get more yellow waste water.
