Ideas for a more interesting gameplay

[rancid gazelle]

This mod adds some very complex formulas and recipes, but adding some variety to the way items and chemicals can be obtained is crucial for the average player to have fun.
Ideas for obtaining resources and chemicals.

1. Obtaining rare gases by absorbing gas at great heights with a pump.
2. Solutions as a result of a reaction can crystallise into blocks similar to snow layers at the bottom of the fluid, that needs to be collected with drills.
3. Oil. I know you guys are planning to add this as an addon for this mod, but I think adding it to the base mod might be a better idea, since creating plastics or polymers from base elements will be very hard

Interesting idea about the pipe extraction really high up

[marsh herald]

For number one

I prefer realism

Because pipe very high might be annoying

Did minecraft slice chunks with height?

For number two

Like u say

Example

Sodium hydroxide

Doesn’t crystallize I think

As it dissolve

Making it layer doesn’t make sense

Imagine

U throw salt into water

U get sodium chloride solution

Imagine it drop to bottom

For number 3

I mean

Adding oil drill to chemistry mod

Is sounding weird

As people usually doesn’t think oil is apart of chemistry

Like other mod use it for powering

As petroleum chemistry is not a big part of chemistry

@rancid gazelle

As u also need fractional distillation for oil

One block just for one usage and not the main idea of the mod doesn’t sound right

Although plastic is still kinda hard with petroleum btw

[shy ledge]

I mean

It is quite big

But too big for a small group of dev to code that in

[marsh herald]

welp kinda

🤷‍♂️
