Compatibility

⚠️ Do not use this mod together with other mods that add or modify the same structures, as conflicts are likely to occur.

Industrial Expansion

Industrial Expansion is a collection of infrastructure and logistics additions designed to seamlessly expand the vanilla experience.

Logistics

Tier IV Conveyor Belts

The base game currently offers Tier III Flat and U-Shape Conveyors, while Pipes already extend to Tier IV. This mod fills that gap by adding:

• Tier IV Flat Conveyor

• Tier IV U-Shape Conveyor

  

The new conveyors are unlocked through research, with construction costs, electricity consumption, and maintenance balanced to match the existing progression.

To support the increased throughput, Transport Lifts and Sorters have been adjusted via Harmony patches to operate correctly with Tier IV conveyors.

Additional Balancers

Industrial Expansion adds new balancers for every transport type:

• Small Balancer

• Medium Balancer

• Large Balancer

• Long Balancer

These are available for:

• Flat Conveyors

• U-Shape Conveyors

• Pipes

  

The new balancers are unlocked through research immediately after the vanilla Transport Balancing technology.

Buildings

Cargo Depot V & VI

Expand your shipping capacity with two new cargo depot tiers:

• Cargo Depot V (10 modules)

• Cargo Depot VI (12 modules)

Both are unlocked through research and behave exactly like their vanilla counterparts.

Features include:

• Fully compatible with all ship fuel types

• Standard ship behavior

• Contracts interface expanded to support the larger depot sizes

Dry Cargo Dock

Build cargo ships locally instead of purchasing them through Quick Trade.

The Dry Cargo Dock introduces a new way to expand your shipping fleet by constructing cargo ships directly on your island using your own resources.

Features include:

• Construct Cargo Ships without relying on Quick Trade

  

Surfaces

If you've ever wanted darker industrial flooring, this module adds two new surface variants:

• Dark Concrete Surface

• Dark Reinforced Surface

(Vanilla vs Darker Variant)

These surfaces have the same construction costs as the vanilla versions and are unlocked immediately after researching their corresponding vanilla technologies.

Retaining Walls

Expand your landscaping options with a new medium retaining wall.

The Medium Retaining Wall bridges the gap between the existing wall sizes, making it easier to create clean slopes, terraces, and industrial platforms.

Features include:

• Medium Retaining Wall

• Matches the vanilla retaining wall style

• Uses the same construction materials and progression as the existing variants
