Is there a setting or config file I can change somewhere to make Tundras count as water-rich worlds (can build Ismara's sling, can terraform to water world etc.)?

I MIGHT be mis-remembering, but isn't a tundra a cold desert?

There are a few different descriptions, and that's a valid one-- what matters is that as the tundra is depicted in the game, it's covered in ice and snow. I just want to be able to use it to send water to other bodies in-system for terraforming.

No, this can't be configured in the settings file. It would be necessary to edit the source code and rebuild TASC. Sorry!

Hello,
technical question here - does terraforming a planet into a different type "reset" some default hazard modifiers?
The example that interests me is: Cryovolcanic worlds have tectonic activity by default. If I finish terraforming it into a Tundra world will the tectonic activity disappear? Will it also change "Extreme cold" to just "Cold"?

Another thing: terraforming menu into the Terran type claims that its "starting resources" include "trace volatiles". Does this mean that trace volatiles get automatically added whenever terraforming finishes into the Terran type even if there were none before? Asking this because it's sub-optimal for Soil Nanites.

Just found out the hard way that this is the case in my most recent game. Since that particular world had heat, I ended up re-terraforming into a jungle world (same farming/organic output, no volatiles).

Tectonic activity will not be removed by terraforming. Planet temperatures don't change either as a result of terraforming, but can be suppressed by buildings like the stellar reflector array.

Yes, trace volatiles will be added to the planet even though it blocks soil nanites. This is intentional and there's some discussion about my reasoning earlier in this thread.

Can't seem to be able to build Aquaculture on my waterworld... weird.

What exactly are the requirements? I want to make sure I'm not missing something obvious first.

I assume you recently terraformed the planet into a water world? There's a bug (caused by core/vanilla) where this can sometimes happen - try saving and reloading your game. If that doesn't fix it, post a screenshot of the colony management screen so I can take a look.

No actually, no terraforming at all. I'm using Adversary's system creation function to create a water world. First time on the build screen it had Aquaculture showing up, but it said "farming required' to build it. So I restarted after putting 'Adequate Farmland' onto the planet... and it still says that I need farming to build it, but I can't build the farming industry, only Aquaculture which says I lack Farming.

Now I know this might be caused by it not being a "natural" system, but still kinda odd.

I don't think this is related to TASC in any way. The Aquaculture building requires the water_surface condition, not the water planet type.

I did think it was odd that Aquaculture would require "farming" in any way... given that it's the water world equivalent of that Industry.... think it might have something to do with Industrial Evolution?

I doubt it. I think the vanilla/core implementation of farming/aquaculture isn't designed to handle situations like terraforming or custom planets with impossible conditions.

Think I tracked it down, the "farming" requirement is dropped and it can be built as normal when I deactivate the 'Lobster Proliferation' mod.

... guess I know where my next stop is. 
Assuming that mod is still being maintained.... are there any substitutes for that if not?

TASC supports adding lobsters to water worlds. See the mod guide on the original post.

So, not sure if the problem is on your side, but Space Truckin' tends to have issues identifying commodities for shipment in stations founded by your mod, but it seems to not happen every time. Think you can look into it?

Sure, I can investigate. Thanks for letting me know about this!
