07/29/2025 Update:

Mod Settings added. You can change them mid game too, just click the Apply Settings button. There is a Apply Defaults button too if you want to go back to the values I've balanced the mod around. You can use the slider or the text input box.

I am now working on mod options for this. We'll have the ability to control # of deepchem input per cycle, ticks per cycle, and output per cycle.

Yeah it's an issue with the code inside of Vanilla Expanded Framework, I believe they are aware of it.

Just one extra thing i've noticed whilst it is doing this, it says "Cant refine: Tanks full" but the connected neutroamine tank is definitely not full

One thing I've noticed is if the deepchem tank is empty but slowly filling, using the Deepchem to Neutroamine will constantly sap a the small amounts of deepchem without producing any neutroamine, never letting the tanks actually fill. Swapping back to deepchem to chemfuel solves this. If I allow the deepchem tanks to go over 750 and then use neutroamine, it will produce a batch but then go back to the constant sapping issue. Is this some weird mod conflict ive introduced?

@irrelevantredundancy Yes edit the 1.6 folder file if you're in 1.6, etc.

If I wanted to edit the values in the .xml do I only need to edit VCEDeepChemRefinery.xml in the most recent game version folder or does every version need to be changed?

Updated for 1.6

love the mod, really do and seeing your reasons for making the way it is (750 deepchem -> 25 neutroamine). cant wait till we can tweak the values in mod options, it just get little tedious with the cost imo.

Light and powerful addition, great mod, thanks to the author!

I'm a fan of solving problems with electricity, just making it expensive to do so (Oxygen Not Included does this often). Glad you're enjoying the mod.

thank you very much for the mod, I used to think that adding a mod that makes vanilla uncraftable things craftable was unbalanced but playing on "New utopia" from Vanilla Races Android, I started to suffer... haha

Sorry I've got no appreciable art skills, that'll have to be done by someone else.

we need deep chem trucks with vehicle framework just take a mule and stick a deep chem tank on the back of it

Phenomenal work!

Yes in the xml file, no mod options unfortunately since this just a single xml file mod.

is there a way to manually change the values for neutroamine crafting?

5/6/2023 Added support for Vanilla Races Expanded - Android:

The deepchem refinery will now attempt to output to a connected Neutroamine pipe network if one is connected.

I have a patch ready to go for the upcoming Vanilla Races Expanded - Androids. It will allow the Deepchem Refinery to output Neutroamine directly to the new Neutroamine pipe system in that mod. I'll update this mod once that mod releases.

4/30/2023 Added Combat Extended patch:

Added recipe to the Deepchem Refinery that turns 30 Deepcheem into 10 FSX for Combat Extended, takes 6 hours to complete.

Not at all. Thank you for the very swift update!

@Velxra updated to 1.4 ! Apologies for the delay.

I'll work on recompiling for 1.4 today.

Please update to 1.4

Nice mod, a reason to replace Rimefeller with VCA+this mod. BUT well a strange statement about balance... 750*4=3000 silver. ~7*25=175 silver for neutroamine. Extremely inefficient(175/3000=0,0583(3)).

Ah thanks for the infomation, I'll work around that spot then :)

@VonArens yeah it is fixed in the bottom left corner and I haven't been able to change it without more extensive C# knowledge unfortunately.

Is there a fixed output spot for the refinery when making neutroamine? It will output stuff if the south/bottom part of it is 'free' but not when there is a wall or something similar.

Good catch @Sato Monster! Thank you. Glad you both like it.

I agree, also in the first paragraph, I believe you meant 1 deepchem - 3 chemfuel.

Thanks for this
