hey the mod was workin a while back but now when i crack a star game instantly crashes can you help ?

The mod doesn't seem to work. It does turn the stars into black holes and give me an opinion penalty, but no planets are cracked and I've only seen one of them getting any negative modifiers.

Updated for 3.2.*

@PookySmile Totally forgot about it for awhile there, sorry.

Oh, thats news to me. I'll take a look at it soon.

Any hopes for update? Because it doesn't seem to work now

I'm reasonably sure that due to how Stellaris handles DLC, just using the particle effects is fine and the mod would not need the DLC as a requirement. I'm trying to find a friend who doesn't have the DLC to confirm, but if someone else can confirm it for me in game I would be appreciative. I will revert it back if this is not the case.

>Colossus uses the star eater's fancy explosion effect

Prolly means you should require Nemesis DLC :-s

Updated for 3.0.*

Is this going to be updated?

IMO this is better a implementation than NEMESIS vanilla star eater that are leaps and bounds better than any colossus.

RIP....

rip mod

Pre-Nemesis collosus... fun

is... is this just the star eater in colossus form?

For some strange reason, using this planet killer / star killer the enemy doesn't get any war exhaustion and nobody dislikes me for removing 400 pops

Mod is very enjoyable, but came back to say that the 3.0 update may kill it.

Can you have a version of this cannon that turns the stars into a neutron star? I'm thinking of a book series called the Duchy of Terra. If you did, I'd really appreciate that.

This mod is good anyway through thank you.

@dankbonkripper Im not sure what problem you were having but I can confirm (tested it myself) that this mod is perfectly compatible with the "36 Building Slots" by Orrie. My mod doesn't make changes to vanilla files so it can only have soft incompatibility with mods that use the same naming convention as me, which is highly unlikely. My best guess is that you might have had some other issue with load order or an imcomplete download from steam servers. Try redownloading mods and try again.

for some reason this seems to be incompatable with 36 building slots. At least based on the fact that i went through my whole mod list trying to find the incompatabilty and deactivating this fixed it. just a heads up

Perfect for my black-hole worshipping purifiers!

I'm aware its old, but the reason I think they might finally fix it is because they are adding their own super weapon that turns stars into black holes. While the glitch was relatively minor before, with the inclusion of the star eaters, it will become a lot more common and prominent.

Ah - also yeah I wouldn't get your hopes up, given this glitch is ... literally years old

@FLSoz same glitch I believe, its just worse because its happening with stars instead of planets. The stars are much larger, brighter and are closer to the center of the galaxy. I imagine (hope) they will fix this glitch with the release of Nemesis.

Are the graphical glitches the standard ones that pop up when you exit a system before the terraforming animation has finished, or are they something else?

Now this looks eBic

They're an Eldar infiltrator, you lot. Get the Sisters of Silence!

holy shit you're psionic

I must admit I was a little surprised when I read the DLC announcement. When it releases I will probably either greatly reduce the odds of getting dark matter using this cannon or remove its ability to produce dark matter at all.

Seems you're a psychic or something considering how this appears to be similar in concept to that Sun Eater business in the new DLC coming out.

@Gaster, are you sure you got all three techs? It requires Dark Matter Drawing, Zero-Point Power, and Plasma Cannon.

I have the technology that unlocks the distortion cannon, but I can't use it in a colossus.

nice mod you got there, might give it a try to exterminate more living worlds

holy shit, you predicted nemesis

looks like this will be vanilla soon...

thanks for the info, this mod looks like it'll be a lot of fun when i i use it to destroy everyone who so much as looks at me funny

After the planet loses the Deterioration Planet Modifier it should be completely safe to construct whatever you want in its orbit.

sorry for all of the questions, i'm planning on tossing this into a super modded run and i need to make sure there aren't issues that could ruin it.

any issues if i add habitats(or other megas) to the system after the star has been destroyed?

@CrazyJ The star you target becomes the black hole, the other stars disappear and all planets in the system will deteriorate; unfortunately I could not figure out how to re-center the black hole (probable not possible), so the system will look a little strange. Small price to pay if you ask me.

also, how does the deterioration thing affect binary and trinary systems? especially the ones with each star having it's own mini-system

installing this now for my planned supermodded playthrough, this thing will be a massive boon for producing black holes for my gigastructures

Now this is epic!

@edey5000 Can you elaborate?

Can you do one for a neutron star?

just goes to war with a empire uses this and goes to peace wait 8 years and whatever system or systems you use this on are just practicly usless to the enemy (and if you have a mod to fix said planets you might be able to use the system your self)

No, I was dumb and hard coded each star type instead of using the is_star condition. I will update.

It seems that you cannot destroy the stars added by other mods (such as Real Space). Is this intended?
