I haven't put I lot of thought into it, but this is what I'd personally like to see:

EDIT: Actually, a better way to do it would be for each to have conditions for it's transformation. So as you remove negatives it transforms based on what's there.

This is nice.
P. much the only issue I have with this is that your final stage is one of two cat3 types. And the other cat3 types are 'worth' less which runs contrary to the game itself.

Planet types in starsector don't follow the same 'standards' as any other game.
Deserts and volcanics can be hot or cold. (Unlike most other media where they are always hot.)
Frozen and cryo are always cold.
Tundra, Jungle, Arid, and Terran E are all equal in terms of habitability potential.

Water is the only oddball in cat3, as it always has the condition Water Covered Surface which gives it an extra 25% hazard over all the other cat3 types.
I could definitely see a water world come from a frozen one after having a couple of mirrors built. The hard bit would be figuring out where in the sequence to put them, and how many.
It might be the oddball path that needs 3 mirrors?
(1. remove extreme cold, 2. melt ice, 3. final conversion to other type/remove cold)

I can definitely get behind not having Terran as always being the end result though. Just remove the 'bad' conditions once you get to cat3.
If you go down this path, water worlds cannot be a 'final' type due to the above mentioned condition. You could remove it, but it would be silly to do so. Better to change it to a different type and sidestep the logical inconsistency of having a water world without a water covered surface.

Anyone else run in to the issue that even after complete terraforming in to a terran world, the planet type in the command tab is still the original planet?

The planet texture also remains the same as the old planet in the interactive menu.

For me it works like it should. Doy ou have other mods running? If yes which?

[red_rust]

Nexerelin and Vayra's Sector.

So everything else about the mod is fine, while in game the planet looks like a terran world, its just in the command tab, under conditions for the planet, its still the original planet type, so its got the picture of the terran world, but it says barren.

The picture for the planet in the interactive menu, the screen where you select to open comms, go to bar, or open up trade, is also the original planet, but once you open up trade, the planet in the background is correct.

You might think about having this terraforming mod add farmland as terraforming progresses. Poor Farmland at Terran Eccentric, and Adequate Farmland at Terran if the planet doesn't already have equivalent or better Farmland of some variety. It wouldn't be terribly imbalanced as food is pretty easy to come by, but it would be flavorful.

Hello First time posting so tell me if i'm doing it wrong

I just came from the Discord tech support

I got this error message which keeps crashing my game and I have not the knowledge to fix it
I was told I should Give this to langly in case he wants to fix it

oh well. Tell me if you need anything else from me

edit 1 - got told off for not giving you the mod list too

Spoiler

[close]

edit 2 - I think I figured out what was going wrong, I tried to build the terraforming industry on a space station i captured and the game was having none of it.

[Langly2]

Huh, Spacestations. That would make sense seeing how I retrieve the Planet in the Code.
I just never had a Spacestation for myself so I did not think of it

I should be able to fix that tomorrow, it should be easy.

Hopefully I also have some time to finally make the Terraforming progression configurable.
It has be somewhat hectic lately

[captinjoehenry]

Hi I have a bug report to submit.  If you terraform a gas giant it'll work which is fine.  The problem though is once terraformed the hyper space jump point no longer follows the no longer gas giant properly

Ah correction.  When a planet changes type their hyper space signature gets messed up.  I think what happens is that the hyper space marker (either latent or jump point ) gets frozen to where it was when you changed the planets type.

Love the mod though!  Easy simple straight forward and balanced feeling teraforming!  Look forward to it being improved even more

[Langly2]

Thank you for the report.

I you're right, I did not consider the jump points.

I got hit by a double whammy, had my HDD crash. Saved my data through.
Got send on a longer business trip too.

I'll be back to the mod in two or three weeks though.

Hang on everyone

[Hoakin Blackforge]

Hey, i just realized now ,but, what happens if you terraform a gas planet? does it turn into a more habitable world? i think it shoulndt be possible. I hope it doesnt corrupt my save

[Plasmatic]

I added your mod to my game, and started a new campaign, started building terraformers on my planets, and now my save is basically done for, at least till the next update.

First, you can Terraform Gas Giant. Only sideeffect is that the jump point loses connection to the Planet.

I have that fixed already but I want to test the next version a few more days.
Because it also makes it configurable how the Planets progress and what things you can remove and that needs a little testing.

Probably gonna upload the new version the day after tomorrow or on the first.
Don´t know yet because I currently have nno internet at my home and have to go to my parrents to leech there. Good thing I can play Starsector and my GoG libary offline

@Plasmatic can you upload the modlist?
Rochmaister already reported a Bug when he tried to terraform a Spacestation.

Either way, those bugs tell me that I need to take more care when I cast things and really check the types before casting instead of assuming people can only build stuff on planets.
Mods make sure that this is not the case

Thank you for trying the mod telling me.

It's basically Nexerelin with every faction mod i could find

[Langly2]

New version is up.
I think I mixed up the version numbers though.

Biggest change is that you can configure the terraforming process now.
Also you cant build the project on non planets anymore, no more class cast exceptions anymore I hope.

I did forget to add the line in that would prevent the game from crashing when you already did. Sorry Plasmatic.
I will do it in the next version though since it will increse stability should another mod change stuff while the project is building.

Also I think I mixed up the version numbers :p
