what if you could colonize cryosleepers ?
and it starts off with size 10 population but it could have recent unrest and "inefficient life support systems" because it was never meant to be a colony station but you can change that of course with enough money, and it would not provide the benefits to other nearby colonies
and it could be VERY expensive to colonize it

You were looking for ideas too buff the solar shades/reflectors when they get improved with a story point or an alpha core? why not, for example, have them deal with more colony conditions? like improvements on a solar shade now makes it deal with extreme weather, alpha core lets it deal with extreme heat and cold, etc.

Being able to tug the cryosleeper somewhere else with some structure would be a better idea. And cryosleeper also providing better benefits for colony it would orbit as result. So you could place it in orbit of your capital as an orbital station that provides population boost.

Hey Boggled, loving the 0.95 changes way more immersive and interesting

For the possible AI bonuses to the slings and the arrays I thought of something a bit weird but it'd be interesting

So arrays, could give a defense bonus on an alpha, lore wise you need the alpha's smarts to get the mirrors just right and melt through ships without damaging the array

For the slings and asteroids, they could give an accessibility bonus, you're already flinging asteroids and ice on very precise routes using magnets, why not also use them to move people around on special capsules

I think there's another mod which already lets the player tow cryosleepers around. I don't want to just outright copy that, and "colonizing" a cryosleeper isn't feasible to implement because I would need a new sprite for it.

Suppressing extreme weather is reasonable, but extreme heat and cold are generally caused by something that stellar reflectors can't address, like volcanism or lack of a star.

The "sun gun" idea has been posted before and I like it a lot. I don't think an accessibility bonus is a good idea since it's very powerful and I don't want the optimal setup to be having them on every single colony regardless of the temperatures.

I can't seem to get the control panel working on the latest release. It does not show up on my ability bar. Does changing the "boggledTerraformingContentEnabled" to true still work? Because I've always had it on true and it still does not show up. I've tried loading it alone and starting a new game and nothing, it still didn't show up. Did something change, or am I just missing something? Or is there something wrong?

It's now on colony interaction menu instead of ability bar I think, did you check that?

Colony interaction as in you go into a colony and a list of options show up? Ei. Comms directory, take a shuttle to the dockside bar? If yes, then no I don't see any special option or any terraforming option. The "Special Functions" is part of Nexerelin .

Is it this that I have to change to true?
"boggledEnableAllTerraformingProjects":false

I think you might need to build the project and install a EUTECK then. Sry I didn't try the new release yet and can't give a clear shot.

I feel like CHAMELEON is kinda.... underwhelming. I wish it would be more expensive to build, BUT also work system wide. Having it work only on one world feels kinda strange for a supercomputer with an alpha level AI core.

Yes, set that option to true and then interact with a colony. You should see the menu as one of the options.

This wouldn't work from a coding standpoint - I haven't been able to find a way to correctly influence the pather interest on a colony other than the one where the structure is built.

Aye, thank you boggled. It works now. I should have just tried setting everything to true till it worked  ;D ;D

Hey man, I'm working on a mod exactly like the Unknown skies mod have any idea how you made that compatible with this mod? Is it done on my side or as I assume from your side? Could you give some information on where your mod needs to be compatible with my planet types like one of mine is an Exotic World it is basically similar to Jungle worlds in all respects. With only a cosmetic difference.

I would have to add support for your planet types in my mod for them to work correctly. Just send me a list of the planet type IDs and what sort of planet they should be recognized as (ex. flacman_exotic is a jungle world) and I'll issue a patch to support them!
