Gaz Planet and more gaz mechanic
Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2025 1:04 pm
TL;DR : The idea would be to implement more gaz substance as it rather lacks in the game, it would also add a gazeous planet to the star system as IRL star system generaly posses more gazeous planets than telluric planets and i thnk adding atleast 1 would benefit greatly.
WHAT : the idea i had was ot add an air/atmosphere collector that will collect gaz in the planets and put them in a pipeline (basically an "air" drill) and to add a air/atmosphere purifier/sorter that would separate the air/atmosphere into different component (with a similar idea to Fulgora's debris having different probability of being obtained) which would then be usable by the Chemical Plant to make diverse crafts (including a oxygen + hydrogen = water craft)
Secondly, a gazeous planet with rare/unique gaz in it's atmopshere, to get there you will first need to craft a Low Weight Platform to float ontop of the gaz, made with LDS (Low Density Structure), Helium (or another light gaz) and
Fying Robot Frame (or a new item that will serve the purpose of propeller) it would act as a space platform, needing to add more platform to build more structure as the planet doesn't have ore the players will need to have a space "mining" platform to mine asteriod and either drop them to the planet or extract the ores then drop to the planet, that would add more utility to the space platforms and asteriod (maybe an asteriod ring around the planet or just normal space asteriod like in orbit of other planets than Nauvis.
those new/rare/unique ressources will be able to make new material (i'm still unsure of what exactly), a new science pack and new plants to upgrade the factories (just like al lthe other planets have each a science pack and each a new type of plant (Electromagnetic for Fulgora, Foundry for Volcanus, etc). Those new gazeous ressources can be put inside Barrels using the Cryogenic Plant (cooling a gaz down will liquify it).
WHY ? : T think factorio is a great game with the space extension, but i think more planets would be even better as the space map can feel a bit empty sometime (especially the left part), IRL star system usually have more gazeous planest than telluric planets, so i think adding atleast 1 gazeous planets would greatly improve the game, this new planet and it's difficulties will force players to think differently on how to make a factory (just like other planets : agriculture with Gleba, foundry with Volcanus, going back in the item with Fulgora, needing ot heat with Aquillo) and it will also add a new way to use the space platforms to mine ressources in space to send them down to the planets, forcing players to rethink and make new discoveries and new methods.
Thank you for reading my suggestion and i hope you will have a good day, evening or night
