Vanilla Recipes: Extended
Extending Vanilla Items with more, thematic and balanced, Alternate Recipies
Description
Satisfactory Mod: Vanilla Recipes: Extended
This mod aims to add additional recipes to Satisfactory, using only vanilla items, and doing so in a way that is balanced with existing recipes. Currently they are unlocked by Hub Milestones, but plans in the future include moving some into Hard Drive unlocks, some into MAM research, and others remain in the HUB
None of the recipes added in this mod are able to be hand crafted. The goal of all recipes in this mod is to add interesting and varied new production chains using machines and paths that may not at first glance seem usual.
I am one person with mediocre math skills. While with the help of some programming and google sheets I can muddle my way through balancing these recipes, please do not hesitate to share your feed back. Contact me @lynkfox#4882 on the Satisfactory Modding Discord to share your thoughts or give bug reports! Just @ me in the #help-using-mods channel
Recipes added by this mod:
Total New Recipes: 20
Total New Milestones: 3

Upcoming:
More Recipes!
Pay for the Skip Use lower tier machines to produce higher tier materials, at a cost of higher input materials and slightly lower outputs (but saving a lot of power)
The Project Use Space Elevator Project Parts for production of Medium to High tier items
Horizons Use SAM Ore, Sommersloops, Mercer Spheres, Slugs, and Alien Protein for production (along with recipes to "produce" said items)
Move these alts into Hard-drives to be more vanilla.
Since the number of hard-drives is limited and there are not that many extra over alts, either add a HD recipe or find a way to add more HDs to the game...
Add MAM tree nodes for certain recipes (Horizons mostly)
* Balancing - always balancing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Vanilla Recipes: Extended not working after update β what to do?
After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether Vanilla Recipes: Extended 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.
Vanilla Recipes: Extended causing crashes in multiplayer β 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 Vanilla Recipes: Extended v1.2.1 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.
Is Vanilla Recipes: Extended compatible with other Satisfactory mods?
Vanilla Recipes: Extended 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.
