3.0.2:
Fixes intel crashes, use niko_MPC_convertObjectsToEnum command if updating from previous versions
Makes overgrown nanoforges a bit rarer
Overgrown nanoforges have 1 less intel tab
3.0.1:
Update to Starsector 0.97a
INCOMPATABLE WITH PREVIOUS SAVES
Update to Starsector 0.96a-RC10
New condition: Overgrown Nanoforge:
A old abandoned industial nanoforge, endlessly expanding in a grey-goo scenario.
Adds industry: Overgrown Nanoforge
Has a inherent costless and demandless output of goods
Will continuously generate structures that augment it's stats
Ex. A structure that increases the industry's supply output by 3, but increases upkeep by 2000 credits.
A structure that increases accessibility, but lowers fuel output by 1.
These structures do not instantly deconstruct, and the process of creation cannot be instantly stopped
It takes time and money to do so
Prior to construction, the effects of the structures become progressively more known as it nears the end
Encourages you to make early judgements on if you want to start destroying it before it's made, at less cost
The main industry is only destroyable once all connected structures are destroyed
Once destroyed, you receive a unique nanoforge item that massively increases commodity output of any structure it's inserted into,
but has various negative effects
If installed in heavy industry, increases faction-wide fleet size by 400% but reduces ship quality by 400% as well
The growths cease to grow and benefits are unapplied if the visible structure amount exceeds the vanilla cap
Sorry grand sector
At max structures (NOT ABOVE!), growths will begin to destroy and overtake existing structures
A really needy bonsai tree
Encourages you to stay on top of it
Always targets pop&infra last
If it is destroyed, the market decivs
Effects
Alter Supply: Increases/Decreases core industry output of a random commodity by x amount
Alter hazard: Increases hazard by x
Alter accessability: Decreases accessability by x
Alter stability: Decreases stability by x
Alter defense: Decreases ground defense by x
Spawn hostile fleets: Periodically spawns a friendly/hostile derelict fleet (no guardians) that patrols the system, up to x fp
This encourages you to treat this as a sort of bonsai tree, constantly minmaxing the effects, minimizing negatives, maximizing positives
Extremely rare - only 1-2 if any will spawn in a given game
Anti-Asteroid Satellites:
Bugfixes
Fixed a rare bug taht caused a crash in campaign due to ai
Num of satellites per planet reduced to 2
FAR less oppressive, now, yet still very helpful
Ships
Overclocked targetting (Frontal plate system) now 1. Overloads for far longer 2. Lasts for far less
Infinite range removed from core and connector, replaced with a long-lasting infintie range system that doesnt overload
Works on a cycle of, say, 23 secs of infinite range and 7 secs of normal
Gives you a bit of breathing room
Harpoon MRM small removed from most variants, as it was way too spammy
All weapons either now have secondary or primary PD capabilties
PD_ALSO and PD tags respectively
Variants
Standard
Rebalanced the frontal plates to be far more ballistics-focused
To compensate for the lost OP, the left plate now has harpoon doubles
Ordnance
Replaced annihilator pods with jackhammer/typhoon respectively
Variant weight drastically reduced
Beamer
Replaced most missiles with DEMs
Variant weight moderately reduced
Shielded
Connector module Locust replaced with hellbore to reduce spam
Variant weight slightly reduced
New:
Blaster
Overfluxed, overgunned
Energy focus
Plasma cannons, heavy blasters, and antimatter blasters
*** terrifying -- But with a very small variant spawn chance
Mining
About 20 mining blasters in total, is capable of stripping armor off anything
General mining theme
Pretty rare
Core
Do not fire through added - modules will no longer fire through the core, enhancing flank capabilities
Weapons adjusted in general
Core/Connector
Max recoil of weapons reduced to 10%
Sounds like a buff, but is actually a fat nerf as it makes it way easier to dodge projectiles
2.1.1a:
SAVE COMPATABLE
SOme misc balance changes, such as reducing the time the superheavy damper is active for, increasing targetting overclock cooldown, switching the ordnance locust to a hurricane
2.1.1:
SAVE COMPATABLE
Satellites significantly buffed: Heavy combat modules now have the system "Overclocked Targetting", which multiples weapon range by a factor of 100 for ~10 seconds, before overloading the module for 10 seconds. Has custom AI so that it doesn't activate when it's fighting a nearby ship. The satellites were a little sucky at their role as a long-ranged artillery platform, and this will significantly alleviate that flaw.
Core given "Superheavy damper field", a damepr field that reduces damage taken by 90% but only lasts for 2.5 seconds, has a 1 second cooldown, has 2 charges, and takes a while to recharge. The intent is to give cores a small amount of survivability against strike attacks, so you cant just rush in and burst it down. You're forced to at least hit it for 2.5 seconds, and at worst, 6 full seconds.
Heavy combat modules have been given armored weapon mounts.
Their beams are now modded weapons, that have instant travel time. This makes the beamer varient scary.
Raised DP/FP to 60.
Swarm variant is more common and now is composed almost entirely out of wasps.
Misc. cleanup
2.1.0a
Removes magiclib dependency
2.1.0
MAYBE SAVE COMPATABLE I DONT REMEMBER
Makes satellites work a bit more consistantly
Raesvelg now starts with satellites (You can generate satellites on planets via the config)
Hopefully fixed an edge case crash
2.0.0
NOT SAVE COMPATBLE

Laid very initial groundwork for next condition
Made a workaround for a bug that caused a crash when a game was loaded
1.0.4
INCOMPATABLE WITH PREVIOUS SAVES
Added a few config options for discovering every satellite at once
Added a stopgap for the satellite fleet drift issue by forcing the satellite fleet on fleets interacting with the planet to orbit the planet
Improved station digging code so that it almost always finds the satellite entity and returns important data, even if the entity we interact with isnt a station
Added a lot more debug code that should hopefully catch and resolve scenarios where entity is null apon application of the satellite condition
Improved code for fighting your own faction's satellites to use a better method
Increased satellite sensor profile to 3 from 1
Backend:
Documented campaignplugin heavily
Misc documentation and annotations
Misc nullchecks

Polished some things
Fixed the console command
1.1.0_beta:
Added a new console command, FindPlanetsWithConditionId (conditionId). Lists all planets in the game with a given condition. Syntax: FindPlanetsWithConditionId (conditionId)
1.0.0_beta:
Finishing up the beta stage. All major bugs seem to have vanished and functionality has never been better.
Added a new very rare swarm variant. This one will kick your ass.
0.0.6_beta:
Adds a bunch of questionably balanced variants. Fixes a few bugs. Reduces satellite DP to one to hopefully let their allies deploy more ships.
0.0.5_beta:
Reworked a lot of the backend. Improved a lot of ***, although in a way that makes me unhappy.
Next update will probably be a huge quality pass.
0.0.4_beta:
Fixed a few crashes.
Improved polish further.
Buffed satellites FP.
Buffed satellite range.
Nearly perfects fleet interception.
More misc changes. All in all, its way more playable now.

You can now fight your own colony's satellites.
Improved the description of the condition.
Added illustrations that arent placeholders.
Misc polish and ***.
0.0.2_beta:
Fixed a NPE when loading saves. Hopefully.
Please tell me if you get any strange crashes at random, I found a possible hole in the logic of my design (I am assuming many variables will not be null, they may be).
0.0.1_beta:
Satellite balance: Nerfed the range of the satellites, reduced the number of the satellites, reduced the amount of harpoons on the heavy combat modules, reduced the health/armor of the heavy combat modules. Satellites now start at 70% CR.
