[Request] Recycling Mod
Posted: Thu Mar 15, 2018 6:02 pm
Hi I have a cool idea for a Recycling Mod but with my programing skills/experience being next to zero I don’t think I can make it on my own. The idea is very simple every assembly machine produces not only the product that it is set to but also some waste. Waste can be used as a fuel source (burned) or recycled in a recycling plant. Recycling waste would give you resources back and decrease pollution.
You could also expand this concept to chemistry plants and liquid waste (toxic water), that then can be recycled into unusable chemicals.
There would also have to be some balancing, to not break the game. For example, the amount of resources you can gain from recycling or the how much recycling decreases the pollution. You would also have to look some of the crafting recipes behind technologies that have to be researched.
I think the biggest challenge in creating this mod would be changing the production buildings to producing waste and adjusting the pollution levels.
My question would be, is this mod possible to create? Is it even a good idea for mod?
