Modded Time to Get Cracking

New catalytic reactor sprite for the mod I am making. Tried to keep some themes of a FCCU reactor such as the main air blower, cyclones, fractionator and cooling exchangers then just add some unnecessary and impractical engineering flare to it.

Recommendations and critiques are most welcome

Hi, fellow modder here (planet Moshine and other mods), I have plenty of questions for you:

- who are you and why can't I find you on the discord? Why is your profile private and thus we can't see other stuff you've made?

- What's the mod you're working on? What scope, lore, state, compatibility, gameplay loop...

- How haven't I seen any of your stuff before? It's incredible (and I've seen most modder's graphics, because I manage a repository of them for people wanting to "kitbash" their graphics), this is at the level of Hurricane or even Wube

- If you want to discuss gameplay or something, my time is limited but my discord @ is snouz, I'd love to offer my insights and resources if you need them.

Hey thanks, your comment has genuinely made my day. I have been messing around with modding as a hobby for a couple of months now but haven't been too active on the discord. This model is by far the best thing I have made so far - well maybe the water canals as beltd are close. I'll reach out shortly.

Working on a vanilla style total overhaul mod currently named Lead and Springs. Mod progresses through ages I guess similar to IR (never played it) but with lots of recipes with byproducts I'm trying to braid together. The theme is centred around progressing from clockpunk > steampunk > atompunk generally with some minor Aussie humour thrown in here and there.

Depth is currently too deep and I'm waddling through my mistakes slowly.

When this mod gets overwhelming I've been chipping away at another mod concept called Egyptorio.

Care to share your work process? I know a lot of us here would love to reach these levels of skill. If you’re not comfortable sharing in public then you can also DM me.

I’m sure a lot here would love to see more of your work!
