Hypertraversal Manipulation 2

Description
Why expand your space when you can shape and extend it?

Stellaris Version Compatibility
Current version downloaded here works with Stellaris from version 3.8.1 to 4.0.11+. Archive versions (available on my workshop page) are created whenever a compatibility break occurs.

What it is
Hypertraversal Manipulation 2 adds the Hyperspace Augur, a new ship that manipulates the local hyperspace of a star. It can add and remove hyperlane connections as well as connect to undiscovered new systems, allowing you to sculpt the hyperlane network to your liking.

What it does
The Hyperspace Augur functions are:
  • Hyperspace Truncator - remove a hyperlane connection from a star to build a bottleneck or cut off your space entirely.
  • Hyperspace Connector - connect a nearby system to a star with a new hyperlane. Interconnect your systems better or connect to other empires more easily.
  • Hyperspace Dowser and Bore - discover systems not currently connected to the hyperlane network and connect them to a few nearby systems (Dowser) or only the one you're operating the Augur from (Bore). With the Advanced Bore, you can also specify the general direction the new system will appear in.
  • Hyperspace Isolator - cut off a system entirely from the hyperlane network. Worried about that silent L-Gate or annoyed by those newly ascended primitives? Cut them off!
  • Hyperspace Ripper - want to find something a little farther afield? With enough Energy Credits and technology you can now rip a wormhole connection to a distant, undiscovered star system with the Ripper. Because of the fragility of subspace, you can only have one wormhole per system, however.

How it advances
Beginning after the discovery of Subspace Sensors, eight new technologies will unlock the full functionality of the Augur, beginning with Hypertraversal Manipulation Fundamentals, that allows construction of the Augur and the Truncator and Connector functions. Additional technologies and their associated functions will unlock as your sensor and hyperdrive technologies improve.

As the Augur is a dedicated vessel with specialized equipment and crews, the number of Augurs you can build are limited. Initially an empire can build only 1, but this will expand to up to 3 based on your empire's fleet capacity (with each additional Augur coming at 500 and 750 fleet cap).

Technical Notes

Possible Crashes on Hyperlane Removal
If your game crashes following an Augur operation (most likely Truncator, Isolator, or Ripper operations), switch the game to DirectX 9 in the options and it should stop. This is a long-running problem with Stellaris that began back in 3.4 that can only be fixed by Paradox (and may have been at this point, even; it's not exactly the kind of fix that goes into patch notes).

Firing Message
The message when the Augur fires on a star shares the same message with the Star-Eater, which now warns of a local anomaly in hyperspace (and plays a loud klaxon). This is due to the Star-Eater's message code being tied to firing a colossus weapon at a star (which is how the Augur works) rather than something more specific and is not something I can alter otherwise.

Localization
Localization into other languages is by default in English (with actual translations for Simplified Chinese by MyresMkG and Russian by tzverg). If you would like to assist in adding an actually translated localization in your language, you are welcome to share it and I will add it to the mod.

Permissions
Permissions to make your own fork and do your own thing with this mod are wide open. If you do something cool with it, share it!

@Mecka Tinker

Upping it could be done again, but this shouldn't be a problem unless the galaxy is ultra-dense, provided Paradox didn't screw with the euclidean distances (and who knows, they might have, they never document that sort of thing so I don't know and I've been ill-inclined to bother checking given the absolute pile of broken promises 4.0.x has been).

Searching could be possible but it's beyond what I'm able to deal with (Stellaris UI modding is esoteric and complex at times). I won't say never, but it's beyond what I can do now.

Costs, creation distances, and the "wobble" of the Advanced Bore all have variables in \common\scripted_variables\htm_scripted_vars.txt. I'll make a note to see if I can use vars for the other stuff when next I'm tinkering (ship limits in particular are an odd bird), which will also include upping weapon priority since something in the ACOT ecosystem decided to be too low power to be a Colossus weapon and then slapped a huge priority on it.

Not a bad mod, but sadly has some problems / reliability issues as well as lacking a bit.
The Issues:
- When connecting I found the mod does not seem capable of actually detecting all of the plausible systems. Either the mod fails to detect all systems or it has a limit as to how many it can display. This became painfully obvious when systems that were visually half an inch away were not an option, yet systems 4-6 visual inches away were.
As for what it's lacking:
- When connecting systems the selection list can get crazy huge. Would a search bar be possible / out of the question?
- I feel a modifiable, simple and easily understood config file to adjust costs, charge times, number of ships allowed, etc would be useful. Doesn't even need to be configurable in game either, just a txt file or something.
Otherwise, great work and a fun addition. Hope the mod gets better over time.

@random2125879 yes, but it's incompatible with ACOT, loading it before or after acot causes the augur to be replaced with some other more advanced planet killer component (in my case it's the sigma devolutioner)

does this still work?

counterpoint?
i can now build the augur?
very weird, but i'll take it XD

Just loaded up my game to check, and im currently unable to build the Augur as a meatship user
though ofc, my metalship friend in the same game can still build theirs
Vauthil  [author] 6 May @ 9:42am 
Provisionally I think Biological Shipset empires can build the Augur now, albeit at a pure alloy cost for the hull because I am not breaking backwards compatibility on something I can't check myself right now. If somebody with the DLC can check and report back I'd appreciate it.

I did go back and make sure adding the toggle didn't break building the ship in old Stellaris, so for the moment we remain backwards compatible AND able to let the meatship people build Augurs.
