Guys, I’ve added a public kanban [tree.taiga.io] board with my and your ideas for my mods. You can use it to track what’s currently in progress. I’m working on this in my free time.

A rare single-use item (like a scroll) that instantly drills a geyser would be rad for medieval playthroughs

@Firestorm I’ll get to it as soon as I finish my next mod. Or I’ll do it in between

would it be possible to have it drill a gas geyser from the vanilla helixien gas mod?

@UltraEmailMan Yeah, let’s leave them in — it’s a very rare scenario anyway, considering the amount of energy and resources required to build one. It’s unlikely anyone would dare attempt it, especially with the risk of raids in space.

Ah, cool. And it does kinda make sense to have geysers on asteroids, since they can have ice that would sublimate at the low pressure and heat from sunlight/human activities, creating steam.

Although said steam would still likely below the common freezing point of water, so you wouldn't really be able to get heat or power from it, but it still makes some sense at the very least, unlike having a geyser on a spaceship.

@UltraEmailMan Yes, there was a bug — it was possible to build one, and then the gravship would have its own geyser! Of course, you can’t place a geothermal generator on it, but it would still heat the ship, which is relevant in cold biomes. For now, it’s still possible to place a drilling platform on a meteorite in space, but honestly, I’m not sure if that should be forbidden — after all, you can encounter an “ancient drilling platform” there. And yes, I fixed the bug — now it’s no longer possible to build a geyser drill on the ship.

lmao that's what I was thinking. I just don't wanna waste that much gametime for it to not work.

Hey! Gravships! I didn’t think of that! Gotta check — it’ll be hilarious if you can place a geyser on the ship.

Question, before I go take the hour or two (yes, my game is slow) to test it myself... Does this work on gravships? I know spawned in steam geysers do.

All right! That’s awesome thanks for all you do for the community!

@WcWalrus So, you’re not the first one wanting a drill for Helixien Gas. You’ve convinced me — I’ll get to it as soon as I finish my next mod. Or I’ll do it in between
WcWalrus 21 Jul @ 5:34pm 
This is awesome! Maybe you could add support for Vanilla Helixien Gas Expanded. If not that’s fine too! I love this mod and your other mods!

Oh! Happens to everyone 🙂 This week, two more of my mods will also get a dependency on it and some special effects from it. Plus, I’m planning to add a couple of new events to them. And I’ve got a few more ideas — working on it!

Turned out somehow i didnt download the ggerom framework >.>
ggerom  [author] 20 Jul @ 11:32pm 
@Tony, I’ve uploaded a screenshot for you in the mod description — take a look.
If the building isn’t showing up, please send me the logs here or in a private message.
It should be working — maybe there’s a conflict with another mod.

What's the 'price' you are talking about?
-FF- Grif 19 Jul @ 11:06pm 
honestly better than having to god mode in a steam geyser
