Terraforming Planet Killers

This mod adds three new Planet-Killer Weapon options.

For empires with the Post-Apocalyptic civic, the new Biosphere Shredder weapon becomes available. This weapon utterly destroys the biosphere of the targeted planet, turning it into a Tomb World - perfect for your hardy species to colonise.

For machine empires, the new Nanitic Conversion Ray weapon becomes available. This weapon releases a cloud of nanites that converts the planet into a Machine World - utterly inhospitable for pesky organics, but ideal for your mechanical drones to exploit.

For hive minds, the new Psionic Assimilation Wave weapon becomes available. This weapon emits a concentrated psionic waveform that assimilates the planet into your gestalt consciousness as a Hive World - an environment that is actively hostile to populations other than your hive drones.

Obviously, this mod is not compatible with achievements. Apparently it's not fully compatible with the Planetary Diversity mod either - using these TPKs on planets from that mod will just result in Neutron Sweep behaviour (thanks to nosiwaste for pointing this out).

PS: If you find any bugs with this mod, let me know in the comments and I'll try and fix them. If anyone wants to modify or extend this mod, you are welcome to do so (just credit me as the original author of Terraforming Planet Killers).

Update (2018.12.10): Updated for v2.2.1 (Le Guin). Ecumenopolis and Hive worlds are now valid targets for the Biosphere Shredder and the Nanitic Conversion Ray. A future update will include an equivalent to the Nanitic Conversion Ray for making Hive Worlds.

Update (2019.02.01): Added the Psionic Assimilation Wave.
