A collection of mods that make the game differ from the original experience, but mostly tweaks existing values or add new encounters without changing the gameplay all that much.

The mod can be safely added / removed without losing blocks.
Intended to be used together with Chocolate, but can stand on its own as well.

Main features are:
Smoothing out terrain to make driving easier and more viable.
Changing the effective hydrogen capacity of tanks (reduces hydrogen consumption while increasing hydrogen production cost / time).
Adding NPCs and modular encounters.
Increasing the speed limit.
Reducing stone yield.
Increasing production block power consumption.
Increases solar power production heavily to keep bases being viable in space and where wind is not available.
Increases wind power production slightly to make early game less painful.
Increasing hydrogen engine power production. This compensates the power requirement of production early, and buffs hydrogen.
Making ore veins deeper, scarcer and bigger.
Increasing ore detection range to compensate for the ore distribution changes.
Adding weapon core.
Adding new respawn ships that make the start easier (though arguably starting out is harder than vanilla due to the stone yield changes).
