ZARS Core
A lot of things got broke. It is unstable but playable once again.
NEW! – Small and Large Crystal Fusion Core generators for arctic conditions.
NEW! – Tiny Crystal Fire for that midstep into less tedious refueling in the arctic.
UPDATED! – Decrease cost to harvest pots, both slag and normal.
UPDATED! – Crystals are now worth 1/100th of their original value in an effort to reduce high threat raids due to overvalued base while having no means to defend it.
Want to survive in biomes that are basically a death spiral? This will do it with style. For way up north in the lonely cold or in the barren wastelands of extreme deserts. Cannibalism now optional, hard work required.
Tested from -86C to 92C. Every location, temperature, and precipitation is now survivable. The only enemies left are yourselves, the wildlife, oh and the normal animals too.
I have cleared out the errors, did a few house cleaning, and played a game in -121C winter and survived for at least a year. It was at that point I was having too much fun rather than tweaking what needs to be done, so this is now BETA as I still need to flesh out the 1.0 quirks.
Recommended for those familiar with Sky-Block or tedious-progression and low-resource scenarios. This mod was split into different feature sets. Fully tested during the course of the B19 development cycle, many revisions and lost sleep to keep it as vanilla as possible.
This mod also serves as a complimentary solution to common game-play where resources are abundant, as a need for emergency support. Its true purpose however, is for areas where resources do not exist; such as Sea Ice, Ice Sheet, and Extreme Desert biomes.
