Description

In the base game, Nitric Acid is unlocked with Tier 8 Milestone 5: Particle Enrichment.
However, other than this unlock, you have everything you need to produce Nitric Acid as soon as you unlock Nitrogen in Tier 8 Milestone 3: Advanced Aluminum Production.

This mod moves the Nitric Acid unlocks to Tier 8 Milestone 3, enabling you to produce Nitric Acid as soon as you unlock Nitrogen. It also changes the Heat-Fused Frame alternate's unlock requirement to Tier 8 Milestone 3.
This means you can set up a Rocket Fuel, Heat-Fused Frame, or Quartz Purification plant without setting up a robust Turbo Motor, Fused Modular Frame, and Cooling System factory first to supply the Milestone 5 requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

HNO3 Ain't Particle Science not working after update – what to do?

After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether HNO3 Ain't Particle Science has been updated for the new game version. With Mado Hosting: open the mod manager and click "Update All". If the mod hasn't been updated yet, temporarily remove it so the server starts.

HNO3 Ain't Particle Science causing crashes in multiplayer – solution

Most common cause: all players must have exactly the same mod version installed. Check server logs for "ModMismatch" or "Version Conflict". Ensure all players use HNO3 Ain't Particle Science v1.0.1 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.

Is HNO3 Ain't Particle Science compatible with other Satisfactory mods?

HNO3 Ain't Particle Science uses the Satisfactory Mod Loader (SML). Generally, SML-based mods are cross-compatible, but mods modifying the same game systems can cause conflicts. Test new mod combinations on a backup save. The Mado dashboard automatically detects known conflicts and warns you.
