Geothermal Vents

Post by Saccharin493 »

As we know, the team are busy trying to make the terrain more diverse. i think a suitable addition could be geothermal vents. largish "hole" where steam pours out. can be harnessed by a geothermal boiler. naturally aliens flock around and form nests near the vents. sulfur crystals precipitate near them as well, being mine able for sulfur.

LOVE this idea!!
Better forum search for modders: Enclose your search term in quotes, eg. "font_color" or "custom-input" - it prevents the forum search from splitting on hypens and underscores, resulting in much more accurate results.

Maybe give the Pumpjack an input for water?

I like this idea. Seems like a reasonable concept. With the addition of nuclear power, having an intermediate step between steam/solar and that seems like a good idea. It's also somewhat balanced by it being tied to a specific location.
