Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Save/Load UI, Autosave, Intel Map Markers, and More (04/10/24)
Looks interesting. May I also interest you in this mod?

Hey Atopo, your save file has a .inprogress save file and I think that was exactly the information I needed!
Looks like I was unintentionally serializing the entire InteractionDialogAPI object into the save file...oops.
Does this solve the issue?

Minor bug. Active gates don't have icons on the Intel map, it just shows as a white circle.
Does using this version fix it? It's a stab in the dark, as I couldn't reproduce the bug.
https://github.com/davidwhitman/Gates-Awakened/releases/tag/2.0.3-rc1Unsure why, but upon interacting with the second bar event and gaining the location of the gate code cache, my save game seems to be corrupted(cannot save after that, gives a 'fatal null' error, but thankfully I can reload and simply avoid that bar event)
This leaves me rather unable to actually play through the rest of the mod. Currently using nexrelin, varya's sector, and every 9.1 faction mod.
Edit: This 'fatal null' error still occurs if I just open the bar(don't have to click on the event). Also if I go and fly to the cache after accepting the mission (and not saving), and pick up the gate codes, afterwards I can save as normal. Weird.
I poked through my code, but I'll basically need your starsector.log file to debug this. I was able do the second quest while saving and reloading at every point during it.
Yep, as long as you can keep accessibility at or above 100% your colonies in other system will be able to provide their full import capacity. The distance does matter a bit but you have a lot of ways to boost accessibility. Megaport 30%, Admin Skill 30%, Waystation 10%, Core boost 20%, increased colony size.0 food and +1 organic is not bad. Sure it's not +2 and +2, but it's enough to sustain you and all other colonies.
Now the volatile, rare ore and ores is needed at +1 for best results. max 2,3,3 respectively. When you supply your own imports it reduces the upkeep of all buildings.
While low hazard is nice, it's the least important unless you just need a planet strictly for defense, heavy industry, light and fuel. These don't require resources on a planet to build.
It works well enough to be a starting system. If nothing else just get the farm world started, it's easy money and pulls little attention. This way you get to become more familiar with Colony setup and have some income while searching for the "awesome" system. Which should be fairly easy now since all you would need is +1 Ore, Rare Ore and Volatile. These are often found together so even better. You're at a great start.
Final note: Does it have a stable point? Not the end of the world but would be a lot nicer if it has at least 1 or maybe a Comm Station but those are so rare I don't even consider them when looking for a location.
Thanks for the quick answer, DDwarrirofire! That helps me a lot already.
If I would use the close terran world as an industrial world, could I supply it with ressources from other worlds in other systems? Does it matter how much the supplier-colonies are away from the industry planet?
Obviously the higher the better since that is essentially free money but bare minimum if it's 100, you're ok.
Forgot to mention, if you ever feel like your system can't defend it'self well enough, use that 2nd planet. This is also why good Gas Giants are so coveted if they have good planets around them. Multiple colonies in the same system are already tough but stacked on top of each other with the gas giant 2-4 plus their orbital stations are practically unbreakable since the patrols from each protect each other. Plus gas giants are warp points so you can jump right on top of your colonies.
