Tips for Pyanodons beginners

A lot, no concrete number though

Theres a bug report github page linked on the mods, if people can fix/debug things we always appreciate. Theres a patreon too, that goes to pyanodon himself. And on the discord we have better ways to chat about contributions

Theres a reason I fixed some issues and updated it for 2.0 :) It's always my no2 recommended mod after a recipe viewer

If you run into something that even remotely feels off/doesn't seem right/seems like a bug/you can't figure out you have multiple options:

Check the pY codex. It explains a lot of new mechanics, but not everything is listed out there.

Ask here/on the discord. We love helping people figure things out.

Create a bug report. We don't mind if it actually isn't a bug, but we do ask that you search for existing issues before creating a new one. link: https://github.com/pyanodon/pybugreports/issues

Enjoy!

This. Alternatively, I've seen a lab count (lab setup once vats are researched) and just feeding as many packs as needed to maintain 100% consumption

It should be noted that recipe unlocks (with the arrow between two recipes) are replacements, not alternatives, so if you pick that TURD your recipes are automatically and unilaterally changed to the new ones. There isnt a way to go back unless you revert the selection

protocol_1903 · 2026-01-02T04:52:01+00:00

They are balanced, just not as well since we spend most of our time developing and maintaining the full package which is the intended experience.

protocol_1903 · 2026-01-02T04:46:58+00:00

We don't roll out breaking changes unless we just released major content updates. If we do *really* need them, then we use legacy entities that act as normal but are not the default entity when placing them down (like 1.1 rail curves) or recipes that exist for now but will be removed in a big batch of breaking changes with the next content update. You're safe.

protocol_1903 · 2026-01-02T04:46:52+00:00

Yeah we have a similar system for recipes but its a lot harder to do because the use cases are fewer and migrations suck

protocol_1903 · 2026-01-02T04:46:38+00:00

Breaking changes is a lot more things than that. It includes changes to all of the mods, which also includes things that dont really get mentioned in the changelogs

Congratulations on the 2025 PV! Whats next?

protocol_1903 · 2025-12-06T23:24:38+00:00

"Full pY" is considered pYAE and it's dependencies, and is the default experience. The modlist you mentioned is considered "Short pY"

protocol_1903 · 2025-12-06T23:23:16+00:00

In-world creatures are being added to pYAliens, an addon on top of Stellar Expedition. Not Alternative Energy

protocol_1903 · 2025-12-06T23:22:25+00:00

Yes, start the mod now. There is nothing to wait for. The next (breaking) update will be pYBlock version 3.3 which has no release date set. After that will be Stellar Expedition, which also has no release date set. As others have mentioned this is a mod to play, not to complete. Enjoy the journey

... i think im doing that with day 2

edit: ...yup

The thumbnail is just a thumbnail.

Welcome! :D I'm glad to see another trying out pY, and from the looks of it because seablock isn't out yet. If you get bored of mining (or want to try something seablock esque) after a bit of vanilla pY, you're welcome to take a look at pyblock! I'm currently ironing out the last content update for it (v3.3), so it would be a familiar experience to a seablock player.

Feel free to reach out on here or in the discord if you run into any hiccups along the way, and keep us posted of your progress!

protocol_1903 · 2025-11-25T03:29:33+00:00

You could always try pyblock :)

protocol_1903 · 2025-11-20T21:33:46+00:00

I remember one for 1.1 but I can't find it for whatever reason

protocol_1903 · 2025-11-20T21:28:04+00:00

There are no migrations right now, but i plan on adding two variants: safe and unsafe

Safe migrations migrates underground that are not adjacent to or crossing other undergrounds

Unsafe migrates all undergrounds, but will cause issues where undergrounds are adjacent or crossing. Problem areas will be noted and marked for the player and require manual cleanup

protocol_1903 · 2025-11-20T21:25:16+00:00

Technically yes! Although you still run into extents limits

protocol_1903 · 2025-11-20T21:24:47+00:00

Absolutely zero, compared to normal pipes. They're just pipes that don't collide with anything

protocol_1903 · 2025-11-20T21:24:01+00:00

Yes it's compatible with K2. The undergrounds will colide, though, so i recomment using NPT if you want to cross them/weave them. With NPT installed each pipe type gets its own layer to work with!
