Compounds (Benzene Edition)

Haha, you thought the crystalline were hard to build with!

Introducing...


These guys are ridiculously enlarged molecular structures with enormous potential energy coiled up in their bonds.



--All atoms in this mod actually bond (normally) in the same ways (Oxygen has two ports, Hydrogen has 1, etc.).

--Yup, they look like very inaccurate images from a classic chemistry textbook. In reality, there are almost no right angles between atoms, and there are no sticks bonding atoms, and atoms are smaller than a wavelength of visible light, in other words are colorless.


--Double Bonds! Triple Bonds! ALL KINDS OF BONDS!

--Hexagon Base shape, allowing for much more realism.

--Oh, and now it is
--Remember to scale up atoms to change their port arrangements.


--Bond: Comes in three different shapes: Triple, Double, and Single. There is an explosovely reactive Triple bond, also (Thanks Margakis!).

--Carbon: Structural. 3 different port arrangements of 4 ports.

--Nitrogen: Structural. 4 different port arrangements of 3 ports.

--Oxygen: Structural. 3 different arrangements of 2 ports.

--Oxygen Ion: -1: This oxygen atom already has one of its ports taken up! It produces energy.

--Electronegative Hydrogen (Thanks Icemourn!): One port. Effective point defense that repels projectiles.

--Reactive Hydrogen: Command module. Comes with a high energy electron shell.

--Tritium: Hydrogen Isotope. Comes with a high energy electron shell.

--Mobile Oxygen/Hydrogen: Effective thrusters. 2 (Oxygen) and 1 (Hydrogen) port arrangements.

--Ionic Bonds: Attract Sodium, Potassium, or Francium and use them to deposit electrons and/or radiation on hostile ordinance!

--Iron: A basic transition metal. It is magnetic.

--Aluminum: A light, useful metal.

--Gold: The colors don't work right, so... But it is a very powerful Bolshevik-like weapon.

--Silicon: Make some computer chips with lasers!

--Tungsten: Strong, dense metal. Good for lightbulbs.

--Sulfur: A stinky atom that fires low velocity shots in great volumes.

--Lead: Poison some enemy ships from close range!

--Chlorine: Halogen. Useful for pools and stuff.

--Fluorine: Halogen. Fluorine + Glass = Fire.

--Phosphorous: "Phosphorous is powerful, and whether you use that power to grow plants or level a city is up to you."

--Copper: Useful for wire.

--Producto-bond: This strange version of an Ionic bond atrracts nearby hydrogen atoms, enlarges them, and ejects them off as Reactive Hydrogen.


I will be adding more ships and atoms to build with in the future.


I used WEAPON_OUT and IN ports to make the atoms attach how they do.

This is my third modded faction, and I couldn’t have made it without the Reassembly Discord (it is fun to lurk). If you want to join, here’s the link: https://discord.gg/BM4eeqS

A link to my other mod that is slightly less hard to build with: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1255302219

Credit to Theodore Gray for making three books (Elements, Molecules, and Reactions) that told me all about the atoms that make up this world. Without them, I wouldn’t have been able to make this mod well.

Thanks to Laps for letting me copy and put his Orion-Class Ferolder in this mod.

Yes, I know the molecules aren't named correctly.
Yes, that is an incorrect benzene molecule.
Yes, that is Owlfeathers's wonderful EAF faction that the Compounds are fighting in those pictures.
And yes, the colors are slightly off.

The Compounds have been dethroned from the most popular position, and I thank you all for subscribing and rating this mod, positively or negatively. Please continue to do so!

Don’t worry, the Compounds will rise again, after I get a couple more mods out. Stay tuned...

If you want the shapes.lua file for this mod, message me on discord (My name is Debris) and I will send it over. You may make a mod using it, but be sure to credit me in its discription. And yes, they can attach to normal blocks.

This would definitely be appreciated. Almost no one does it, only 19 people so far have, so please do it :P

If you don't like this mod because of its strange shapes, then please don't rate it badly. You will figure out that it will become easy after a while of practice, it did for me anyway. Just don't give up because it's too hard, because that's lame :P

The comments section is always open for constructive criticism, bug reports, suggestions, and other things.

If you have an idea for an atom, then post it in the comments section, and I just might add it!
