Improved Playing Experience MOD

This mod introduces several changes to enhance your gameplay experience, particularly around water management and terrain modification.
By unlocking terraforming tools earlier, this mod offers greater flexibility and creative control.
I hope you like it. :D
Here are the changes made by this mod.

• Added a recipe for container ships for early-game use. (Hi-Tech Parts: 10, Steel: 20 -> Container Ship)
  
• Added a recipe to produce more container ships using Reinforced Steel. (Hi-Tech Parts: 10, Reinforced Steel: 10 -> Container Ship: 2. Requires half the Reinforced Steel for double the output.)

• Dynamite production is now 10 units, and it now produces 10 units of Pile of Dirt, which is needed for Terrain Tool. (Sulfur: 4, Oxygen: 1 -> Dynamite: 10, Pile of Dirt: 10)
  
• The early access to dynamite allows you to effectively use it for opening up mountain paths for railways and changing terrain for water management.

• You no longer have to search for a specific plot of land that is both rich in water and free from flooding. Now, rivers and oceans are your friends.

• You can use them for loading/unloading container ships or as a water storage for pumping stations.
  
• They can also be used as a simple, impromptu bridge.

• This was achieved by modifying an existing item, as a new item implementation caused crashes during my tests.
  
• I really wanted to implement it as an additional item unlocked in the late game.

• Improves visibility around the area by lowering the overall height compared to regular dams. It's best for use along rivers.
  
• Its function is the same as the Water Drain in Creative Mode.

Railways and roads stop functioning at depths greater than 50m. To make riverbeds shallower, use the Terraforming > Terrain Tool > "Level Terrain" > "Altitude offset" tool. While you're at it, consider widening the river as well.

When changing terrain height, adjust it in 10m increments and increase the Border Radius to prevent sharp mountain spikes from forming. (These spikes will appear on yellow hexagons). If you do get mountain spikes, you can clear them with the "Smooth Terrain" tool.

Since this mod makes Pile of Dirt easily obtainable, be sure to use the Terrain Tool as a viable option. Use container ships on the ocean, and try designing canals to use them on rivers too.


This mod makes various changes, so if you're interested in creating your own mods, feel free to refer to this mod's code.
Have a great terraforming life!

The embankment model was created using KayKit Medieval Hexagon Pack 1.0.
