Description
Welcome,

This mod adds variety for the infinite chemreactors.

The production rate is directly proportional to the value generated by the original Infinite chemreactor, which was 17.25 silver per day.

List of resources:
  • Baby Food
  • Berries
  • Chemfuel
  • Cloth
  • Devilstrand
  • Gold
  • Granite
  • Hemogen Pack
  • Hyperweave
  • Insect Jelly
  • Jade
  • Limestone
  • Marble
  • Milk
  • Neutroamine
  • Nutrient Paste
  • Plasteel
  • Raw Fungus
  • Sandstone
  • Slate
  • Steel
  • Synthread
  • Uranium

There's too many items! But why? Baby food isn't quite useful, some food (berries, milk and insect jelly) can cause food poisoning, the only stone block you want is marble and granite, raw fungus or nutrient paste are annoying at ideology, etc.

The reason to have this variety is for balance. This will make harder to find the valuable items like Synthread, Hyperwave, Devilstrand, etc. and once you find them you must wait more than ten days to get the items! But once you have more than one the wait will be easier.

How much of these SynthReactors are you going to find?
How to get them?
Same as the vanilla infinite chemreactor: only obtainable via Quests. So go search for them!
Alternatively you could use Makeable Artifacts for Infinite SynthReactors and craft them.

Alright, I've posted my suggestions for fixed values in an appropriately labelled discussion. The fix should be as easy as copy/paste into the XML. (Would anything break if it's fixed mid save? Probably not?)

Objectively, reactors (including the vanilla chemreactor) are a REALLY bad deal... 1500 wealth plus 300 power (I assume 2 power per wealth so +150 wealth) for 17.25 silver a day is considerably worse than a ground penetrating scanner (655 wealth + 350 (700 power / 2)) and drill (290 wealth + 100 (200 power / 2).

That doesn't stop them from being irresistible collectibles. It's hard to ignore 'free' stuff even if it costs power and raid points.

The Hemogen Synthreactor isn't working as intended.

In game, the tooltips claim:
69 Hemogen packs produced at a time.
Once every 20 days.
That's 17.25 silver per day.
Enough for 6-7 sanguophages to survive on, fewer if abilities and buildings drain hemogen.

In practice, synthreactors can't exceed a single stack, and hemogen stacks at 10:
10 Hemogen packs produced at a time.
Once every 20 days.
That's 2.5 silver a day.
Barely enough to feed a single sanguophage, no additional hemogen is used.

Recomendation (and what I plan to do with a personal fork via XML):
10 hemogen packs produced at a time.
Once every 3 days.
That's 16.67 silver per day.
Enough for 6 sanguophages, with some to spare.

Hemogen is significantly more valuable than it's market value would suggest, so producing every 6 or 10 days would also be acceptable.

Would also love an option to modify the input. Much like the original chemreactor, these are neat ideas, but produce such trivial amounts of materials that they are kind of a waste of space. No insult meant to the creator, he was just following the balance of the original, but the original is a pretty cool idea very badly implemented.

@EnderNyktos Just to change the days and output for the different reactors.

Good point, I do that for many mods. But when an update is pushed it removes any changes made to the xml. QoL to have it be implemented with XML Extensions instead. But I understand that is more work.

@PearificPear Which kind of support? You can edit the xml
PearificPear 1 Jun, 2024 @ 5:54pm 
Came here from @kingallhobos video. I’d like to suggest implementing support for XML Extensions for customizability.

Love the idea, and will definitely be using this in a future playthrough.

@kingallhobos Thanks for the video, I have updated the description. There will be some changes, in some days.

Wondering if this mod will be a good addition to achieving balanced and fair infinite resources? Maybe... I have reviewed it to help you with your choice!

I think the concept of this mod is much needed in rimworld, honestly a good crack, check it out!

I try to imagine each one of these and some really make me chuckle.. like the Baby Food one ;)

The Hyperweave reactor however makes my pants fit tighter.
