VSSTO - Dome of the Rock

Asteroids have been opened for colonization, and the roughnecks of your planets sign up in droves to delve their untold riches. Scientific communities also make plans for Zero G research stations free of your oversight. But at what cost? How will you feed them, how will you balance the increased demand for spaceport resources, already driving up costs. The choice is yours.

This mod enables asteroid colonization in a very simple way, and should be compatible with most other mods. They are available for colonization at the very beginning, and require no special infrastructure or technologies. This effectively increases `'tall play' options, but of course this comes at a cost.

• Asteroid Base Habitability of 40.
  
• Asteroids cannot feed themselves, and you will have to generate extra food on your planets to offset them.
  
• Spaceports are much more expensive to maintain, so you will have to pick and choose where you want them.
  
• Asteroids provide large bonuses for mineral and research output, but they are also more likely to experience ethics drift.

• Integrates nicely with the VSSTO Base mod. :)
  
• Due to the increased number of moon and asteroid spawns, turning down habitability is recommended.(0.75 is nice)
  
• Not yet designed for play with fallen empires/crises.

Please refer to the VSSTO Base Mod, all sub mods imply complete compatibility with the main package.

This mod changes the following base files:

• misc_solar_system_initializors

• FF Atredes and his "The Belt" mod, from which I have borrowed to tile blocker images and planet environments.

Also if you like it, don't forget to (please and thank you :)
