Any chance of an update?

Here is the code it is executing:

'dome_comfort', 30000,
'service_comfort', 100000,
'comfort_increase', 15000,

Oh it "works" but if you read the description, Social is not listed in the needs fulfilled. Just mouseover one then the other I think? Not playing atm.

I built one and it works perfectly. How do you know it is not meeting it?

Not sure if its intentional but the Social need isn't being met by this building as compared to the actual spire.

Upgraded this so that it must be researched first and so that the icons show up.

I did start on a new dome that has all utilities built in but would only support a certain number of people before running out of air or power.

BarbieGirl, have you ever considered building Domes? new fun shapes, like an S dome, with two spire slots. maybe adding in a built in oxygen system like the geo dome, or not. Or an X dome?? again this one would have just one spire, but plenty of space to put your non spired buildings?

I have now updated this and my other mods to only be available after the proper research is done.

@Juha and @BarbieGirl... Strangely I play like that too! I want to have over 1000 colonists by Sol 100, have a stable and sustainable colony, and have answers for any threats that might arise. Then I can take my hard hat and move on to a new area chosen from the Mars globe at large without guilt as to the lives of the people I leave behind in the previous settlement. Oh... and I also want to have a score over 200,000. Without mods none of this is possible, the game becomes dreary and long, and I don't feel "rewarded" for playing it.

As I see it, the game ends on year 100, and anything past that is sandbox. The challenge is, how much you get done before that.

Well to tell you the truth I have played many, many hours and basically once I have beat the resource issue, the real problem is growing the colony and having something for the people to do. Once I get the wonders that reduces work and wonders that supply unlimited resources the game is then done. I don't see a need for people any longer.

I think, the game is all about resources, not about space. Bigger building is more expensive, so its still balanced. Phew, I feel better now.

Thats the whole conflict... Dont know if cheaty or just freeing from stupid restrictions.
I mean, if it makes things "easier", its cheat, but if it keeps things balanced, its not. Its not really about what others think is acceptable, after all its a single player game, and its ok if its different. I just dont want the game to be easier comparable to other people playing vanilla. Is it easier? Same? Just different?

The way I look at it is this...Everyone has their own gameplay style. If you like a particular mod download it and use it. If you think it is "cheaty" and not your style, don't download it.

@Juha39... I dunno. Devs write games with what I believe is sometimes overly restricted tech in the name of "balance" or some such. You are on Mars. If it fits in the dome you should be able to build it to use its benefits. Sooo... I am unconflicted entirely as to using these "spires" anywhere they will fit. That's the whole point of mods to me. To allow me to play the way I want, unrestricted by the vision of others as to what is "acceptable". No offense as to your perception of what is right for you, or any player for that matter, but since these spires grant benefits to the dome, I see these as a choice as to how any of us would play the game or try to live on Mars in the best, most comfortable way possible.

Feeling conflicted... These are meant to be limited and in spire form... Then again, why would they be limited? Just build more...

@BarbieGirl... Annnnd... continuing with the theme. All of these will find uses I'm sure.
