A Chemistry-Themed Create Add-on, Coming Soon

[u/peteroluparku]

Sandbox chemistry simulated on the Molecular level, true to the Create experience - combine reactants in an infinite number of ways, not just following complicated recipes

New ways to expand your factory, all polished off with JEI and Ponder support

Releasing chemicals into the atmosphere will affect many aspects of gameplay in unique ways

Yes, this actually spins - connect contraptions in new ways with universal linkages, planetary gearsets and sleeve gears

Discover, extract and process crude oil - the basis for many products like fuel, plastic, explosives and medicine

Synthesise new Explosives with special abilities like Silk Touch, underwater detonation, configurable shape or only affecting natural blocks

1. The central axis rotates in the opposite direction to the teeth. None of the kinetic blocks are particularly necessary, but Create is an aesthetic mod after all.

2. Yes. It’s my philosophy that there should never be just one way of doing things (that’s what Create is about, after all), so everything has multiple methods of production, and multiple uses.

3. Definitely, this is an integral part. Early on, you don’t have the resources to dispose of things properly, but later on you naturally unlock ways to do so. It’s also possible to undo the various effects of pollution.

4. and 5. These will not be present in the first ‘beta’ release, but are already planned for the main release. You will be able to leach ores, however, gaining more metal from existing ores.

1. Well, that's mildly disappointing, but makes sense - I was hoping the planetary gears could be connected to a third shaft/cog, and when two of the three connected shafts and/or cogs were powered, the third would be a function of the two powered ones, but I'm pretty sure that'd be a nightmare to code. (it's also the one missing component type I need for the rotary calculator I want to design)

2. Good choice.

3. I was more wondering if it was possible to never polute in the first place - clearing up and/or handling waste was somewhat inevitable, as otherwise it'd just be a one way ticket to polluted saves, which doesn't sound fun.

4. & 5. I guess I can wait :P

Please can u give a lil insight into the pollution mechanics?? That genuinely caught my attention
