[Click here for Brutal mode (core)]

[Click here for Hard mode (modpack)]
[Click here for Brutal mode (modpack)] coming soon

Now compatible with Plant and Cook, Eat. Drink. Sleep. Repeat! and other mods that require getting organics from stone. You now must reprocess gravel to filter out organic particles.

This is the core of the Hard Mode Difficulty Mod. It will work as is but you should add other mods to compliment it.
Use this file to build your own modpack from scratch.
Or jump to the premade modpack here.
There is also a Brutal mode (comming soon).

This mod is intended to be played on, Custom game: Star System. although other game types probably work as the mod is very flexable.

• Major changes to oxygen balance increasing the value of oxygen and oxygen generation.
  
• Major rebalance to increase the value of hydrogen and put a bottle neck in the production system.
  
• Added variation in stone types. (Refined Stone - available as separate mod.)
  
• Altered yields of some ores and stone types.
  
• Custom ore maps including asteroids. (The Other Ore Mode TOOM - available as separate mod.)
  
• Reduced surface ore rock count
  
• Nerfed player jetpack.
  
• Tweaked overall power demand a little.
  
• Increased the need for more exploration and gave reason for space travel.
  
• More damage from not breathing.
  
• Tweaked meteors to give different options.
  
• Weather has been tweaked slightly to be a little more draining.
  
• Rebalanced lightning (annoying is not the same as difficult Keen). Small grid builds now viable in normal weather (in Hard Mode).
  
• Everyone now has the mass equal to that of a small lioness, do with this information as you will.
  
• Station prices tweaked.
  
• Added new weather.
  
• Added less common ‘deadly weathers’. These can hurt your small grids so protect them.
  
• Reduced mob drops (wuff and spider)
  
• Some components may cost a little more to make now.
  
• Interior turret got a tiny damage boost as the weapons 1 updated nerfed it just a hair too far for my liking. No other weapons changes have been made.
  
• Changes to planets all over.
  
• Changed progression tree to make decoys available without having to build turrets, cos lightning.
  
• Custom respawn ships/pods/rovers.
  
• Probably other stuff I forgot to note down \o.o/_,

All permissions were given for rebalancing/patching.

Thank you to the keen discord for their continued help with my endless mod problems.

An extra shout out to Chipstix213, Digi and Kreeg who were especially helpful in the discord many times over.

And a thank you to all the other mod creators who were happy for me to patch and or rebalance there mods to better fit with the difficulty level, providing a better experience for all.

Minor: Organics lacks an in world texture. This doesn’t not hinder game play at all.

For the mods or ‘parts of mods’ included in this mod pack that are from other creators, directly or as dependencies, please respect the copyrights and usage rights of the other mod authors and ask their permissions separately from mine. I do not own any content created by someone else including integrated balance patches, which are there for user convenience.

Any mod files, content, scripts or media I have created, are © copyright 2021 E. C. Plant. in order to protect their fair usage.

No profit is to be made from the use of any copyrighted content I have created. The content I have created is intended purely for free usage for all.

If you are simply someone wishing to modify this mod in a way you see fit, or use parts of it in your own mod, to play with your friends, or alone, or in a non-profitable way, go ahead!
I encourage mod makers of all levels to have fun and learn! The same goes for 0 profit servers that rely on donations to keep running.

The bottom line is keep it free and remember to link back to the original mod. =)

As a rule it’s far better to make a patch and link to the original mod as a dependency. Just re-uploading this mod is frowned upon and I reserve the right to ask for any related content to be removed at my discretion.

For clarity, a pay server may use this content and modify this content, but must make sure all versions of this content, modified or not, including patches for this content, are freely available to all users not just those on the pay server. The content must be available in a way that is not hidden behind a subscription, pay wall or additional sign up (for example discord) of any kind.
The steam workshop, is not considered an additional sign up as most users will likely be using this service already and it is where the original content was uploaded. Users must also be made aware that the mod content is freely available.

If there are any questions just ask.
Bottom line, its free content so let’s keep it that way.
Thank you.
