Geothermal Fracking

Description
Frack the environment. This mod lets your pawns slowly and painfully hack away at the Earth's crust, forcibly creating new steam geysers—killing the planet, one crack at a time.

Allows additional steam geysers through geothermal fracking.



How To Use
  • Requires Geothermal Power research.
  • Found in the Power tab.
  • Labor & time intensive—any colonist can chip away at the earth to create a vent.
  • Must be placed on diggable terrain that supports heavy structures.
  • Costs nothing but time.
  • Can be buried (removed) if needed.



Thank you for supporting Geothermal Fracking! Feature suggestions and balance tweaks are always welcome.

A work around I've been using for fracking in mountains is using Map Edit Tools to remove the overhead mountain during the fracking and geothermal generator construction. Then replacing the overhead mountain again using Map Edit Tools. Kinda breaks immersion and is cheating but... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Every time I try to build one in my base dug out from a start in the hollow of a mountain, it decides it counts as indoors halfway through constructing it. Any chance the indoor requirement could be made into a toggle for edge cases like this?

This but helixien gas nodes would be amazing
Can you made a mod that allows you to remove pre-existing geothermal vents?

Hi!
Any plans for a sibling mod that does the same thing, but for Helixien gas nodes? It's okay if you don't want to!
I love this mod to pieces as it is right now and thank you for making it!

Dubs Bad Hygiene patch that makes this take an absurd amount of water (maybe draining the lake/river that supplies it) would rule
