Outpost Power

• Includes a map generation preset, not using it makes this mod less
  

relevant.

• Coal and water should be far apart, use the burner pump to
  

package and carry water to kick start a compressed air power plant.

• Loop turbines and Loop heaters usually output some amount of their input, use Bottleneck to help fine tune your setup.
• Copper may be far away, mine chalcopyrite rocks for copper ore until you can build vehicles
• Craft power cells in your main base and move them to a distant outpost to power it for a long time
• Some mid to late game options provide power generation setups that are between steam and nuclear in terms of power level.
• If you're clever and patient enough, you can find a way to make free energy
• This mod is about new challenges, not OP power generation
  

This mod is part of a series called Exploration Mode

• Outpost Power
• Alternative Oil Processing
• Basic Robotics
• Vehicle Balancing
• Turbo bike
• Technology Specialization
  

It can be used on its own, but the mods all work together to build an interesting gameplay variation.
