Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Planet Search Overhaul (07/13/24)
Fix!THIS UPDATE WILL BREAK SAVES AND DA-DEPENDENT MODS UNTIL THEY GET UPDATED
disable ARC or dabbled avionics
So, what's your One Ship? What do I mean by One Ship? Well, I'm glad you asked (even if you didn't). Your One Ship is the ship you'll always go for. That, for whatever reason, you grab as soon as you can get it.
So what's yours!
Readable save is very useful for cutting out unwanted mods that can't otherwise be removed, if you're willing to invest the time. Also, SS doesn't use *that* much memory. It's usually happy with 4GB heap even with a ton of content mods.
I'm commissioned by one of the factions. I remember that in previous versions you could choose if you want to keep a planet/starbase for yourself, or give it to that faction after an invasion. Now it seems to go under the faction's banner by default. Am I missing something? How do I conquer "for myself"?
Is it possible to dissable all the terraforming stuff except for the stellar array and doomed city ? I like the idea of both but i don't want to use the rest of the terraforming. I could just choose to not use it but if there is an option to dissable terraforming without those two could be good
Dunno but you could console command them in with the console command mod. Commands should be something like: list ships [name] and addship [name], replace name with medusa if you want that one and so on, use "list ships" first because names of (mod) ships can be quite complicated like "skfp_deathbringer_p_base_section" or "edshipyard_bernese".

Also: help [command] and list commands or something like that, enjoy.
E: There is also the ship browser mod: https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=26261.0
So my issue with this mod is that Terraforming is outright useless.
I have this mod for a year now and i NEVER was able to use this feature the games Sector generator makes it sure that the planets allways have at least ONE planetary effect/modifier that cannot be modified/removed to allow for terraforming. every single time. there is ALLWAYS atleast 1 red i cant do anything about. the terraforming is asking for waaay to much to allow for terraforming.
Also improving resources is never allowed. even if the planets is sitting with a bunch of Poor resources.
I'm not sure what you're having a problem with here - terraforming is somewhat expensive and time consuming, but perfectly possible. Obviously you can't terraform molten worlds or gas giants, but pretty much any barren planet can be terraformed. You just need to normalize the atmosphere, have a stellar array (Stellar Shade for hot worlds, Stellar Mirror for cold ones) built, make sure there's some water available, then terraform away.
But let's go over the specific process with an example. Let's say you've decided to do like I always do in 90% of my runs and colonize Penelope's Star. You start by colonizing Ithaca, which you want to terraform into a Terran world - easily done. Ithaca always starts as Habitable, so all you need to do is build an Atmospherics Processor, Stellar Shade, and then have a colony with either Ismara's Sling (Ismara, obviously, is an excellent choice for this) or a station colony (astropolis, mining station, etc.) with Asteroid Processing. Then you just start the terraforming process and wait awhile. Once you're done you can either tear down the atmospherics processor to avoid the upkeep cost, or first prioritize maxing out relevant resource deposits and adding the Mild modifier.
But let's do a more complicated planet in the same system: Ogygia. I've never seen Ogygia spawn with an atmosphere, so first you'll need an Atmospherics Processor and have it do the project to normalize the planet's atmosphere. Then you'll need a Stellar Mirror to begin the terraforming process. You'll also need water, but if you've still got the Ismara's Sling/Asteroid Processor you used earlier then that's no problem. Terraform away and then bam, done.
As for resource improvements, certain planets have certain caps on resources. First off, you can never improve Ore or Rare Ore resources, only Food, Organics and Volatiles. For Food improvements the world needs to be Habitable and you need a water supply from an Ismara's Sling or Asteroid Processor. For Organics and Volatiles the world needs to be of a certain type, usually Terran, Jungle, Desert etc. and then you can improve the resources up to a certain level depending on the planet.
Did you make sure to enable the Ouyang Optimizer and Planet Cracker in the mod's settings file? Because those will always improve volatiles for gas giants (for Ouyang) and ore/rare ore for planets without tectonic/extreme tectonic activity (Planet cracker).
