About this mod
Adds several upgraded versions of components to the game, unlockable via techs.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Donations
The new Improved Processing Tech allows you to build two new components in the Processing Plant. These require semiconductors to build and are designed for large, late-game colonies to reduce the required space for Processing Plants and raw material supplies:
The three new GM Techs allow you to build higher-yield versions of vegatable pads, similar to to the GM Tomato and Onion pads:
Tip - If you replace your existing processors and pads with the improved versions, you will quickly generate a surplus of Ore and Starch as your demand decreases and your supply increases.
Notes
Installation:
For Unity Mod Manager
For Patcher/Redirector

- Electrolytic Reduction Processor - an upgraded version of the Metal Processor. Produces two Metal per Ore at the cost of higher power requirements (2x), a small amount of water (0.5 units) and a slightly longer processing time (1.5x).
- High-Temperature Bulk Polymerizer - an upgraded version of the Bioplastic Processor. Produces two Bioplastic per Starch at the cost of much higher power requirements (3x) and a slightly longer processing time (1.5x).
The three new GM Techs allow you to build higher-yield versions of vegatable pads, similar to to the GM Tomato and Onion pads:
- GM Rice - Produces two Vegetable and 2 Starch with high maintenance requirements.
- GM Wheat - Produces two Vegetable and 2 Starch with average maintenance requirements.
- GM Medicinal Plants - Produces Medicinal Plants faster (1.5x) at the cost of higher water requirements (2x).
Tip - If you replace your existing processors and pads with the improved versions, you will quickly generate a surplus of Ore and Starch as your demand decreases and your supply increases.
Notes
- Much like the GM Tomato and Onion pads, the upgraded components reuse the existing models and icons.
- I've tried to balance the new components for late-game colony optimization so I don't believe they're particularly overpowered.
Installation:
For Unity Mod Manager
- Download and extract Unity Mod Manager.
- Within the extracted files, run UnityModManager.exe.
- Select Planetbase from the Game dropdown and ensure your installation of Planetbase is selected in the Folder field.
- Hit Install.
- Download ImprovedComponents.zip (Unity Mod Manager version).
- Open the Mods tab and drop in ImprovedComponents.zip (alternatively, add the contents of the zip file to a "\Mods\ImprovedComponents" folder in the game's install directory)
For Patcher/Redirector
- Ensure your game is Patched.
- Download ImprovedComponents.zip from Old Files
- Extract the file contents to "...\Documents\Planetbase\Mods". You should see an 'ImprovedComponents.dll' file.
Uninstall
Deleting this mod will break save files that have previously used it. In order to safely remove the mod, you must first:
- Remove ALL instances of the improved components within your base.
- In the save file in question ("...\Documents\Planetbase\Saves"), find the <techs> section and delete all rows with values TechImprovedProcessing, TechGmMedicinalPlants, TechGmRice or TechGmWheat.
