This is a simple mod intended to allow the crafting of alien artifacts from other components. You should be able to completely eliminate aliens from the game now if you'd like to just make factories.

Showcase


Features

• Generate Alien Artifacts with sulfuric acid and oil in a chemical plant.
• Discover a new technology that allows for the crafting.
• Allows you to live in any world without aliens, while still crafting anything in the game.

good mod!
but it seems too easy, then there may be better to use expensive standard components?

I agree it seems cheap! I'm totally willing to change it, but I'm simply awful at balancing. I couldn't come up with a good recipe so I decided to go for novel. Any ideas?

A previous mod used like.. 14 red/10green/6blue (an example, cant remember) to make a purple science pack

I would increase the time on the research, and add blue in it.
I also think you should add an physical item into the mix, maybe a smart inserter or something.
Or you could make it so you have to automate something most people don't set up in their "assembly line", like an assembling machine. (i end automate it!)

you do not mind if the author I can help you with recipes? I suppose I could make more difficult the production of ordinary things with other modes. if you do not mind can combine. I made for myself. if you like to lay out all

A good way to balance is user feedback. If you get U. feedback, that it's too hard to make, then make it easier, and if U. feedback that it's too easy, make it harder. Simple as that, although you might want to seriously use some later game stuff to craft, and DEFINATELY blue in the research.

Add some purple chips in and everything is fine, like 10 per artefact. It's an artefact at all!

Thank you for making this! I tweaked it a bit (only for my own use) so it uses light oil, sulfuric acid, blue processing units and landmines and set it to require a metric boat-load of red, green and blue potions. I also made a png for the research icon although the sprite based art style is something of a challenge! No idea about the balance aspect; clearly I shall have to play it a lot to see how it shakes out!

any chance you could update this mod to run on 0.13 or tell me how to do it myself?

I have a fashion but there is need of fashion from the bean and from Yuki, where I added a few recipes I can throw but version 13 does not plow
