@Azona

There is a good reason to update this. Mods that add in other defense platforms are also kept alive in this mod. So for NSC2 the defense fortress will not be destroyed.

@Azona I would also like this mod to be updated. I like putting a few different defense platform designs around my starbases. If I try to rely on the policy, it will randomly build my 3-4 designs at random so I could end up with far fewer of some designs than I would like.

@Azona I think it would be nice to update this, as the mod mentions itself, it feels nice to not micromanage defense plattform replacements. It also doesn't feel too player sided, if the AI captures one of of your systems retaking it can be quite the hassle.
It's up to you, obviously.

I'm working on updating most of these mods.

Sins changes to game it self as mention before we got Eternal Vigilence now I wondering if this need to be updated and fixed or just let it die. half free platforms from Eternal Vigilence is already nice enough I think and I really do not see a point for this to be updated.

so yeah that's my opinion.

not updated since Sept 2023, no author comment since march 2023
this is a dead mod
will need an alternative

<Obligatory 4.* check>

Also maybe fix Eternal Vigilence....

This does still work in the newest update. Too well, in fact lmao with the new change to Eternal Vigilance, which spawns free platforms every month, lategame stations can be in the hundreds of thousands in EVERY system

anyone confirmed it still working?

Is it work on 4.0?

This seems to work for normal starbases, but if you have a mod that adds more tiers, they die when your starbase level is beyond the base game.

@Comrade Phoenix lmao preach

Pike, what's not working? Moonshine said its working. Are you just annoyed by a scary red triangle that doesn't actually mean anything, or do you have something more substantive to report?

Mod does not work for 3.14 FYI lets go get it updated

Mod 100% still works.

Anyone confirm that this works with 3.14?

This mod still works for 3.12, and it is fully compatible with NSC3's higher-tier defense platforms.

Just wanna say this mod still works.

Has this been abandoned? If not, will it need updating?

Aw. Was hoping for a mod with a series of techs that benefited platforms rather than new station levels (incompatible with shipsets) and boosting the defenses of the enemy (while resetting for a winning defense).

Don't like platforms sticking around. Oh well will try something else.

Does this series work in 3.10? Obviously not made for it but sitll wonder if it works with some quirks or just not at all.

will there be an update?

Can you make a legacy version for 3.6.1?

I am noticing that defense platforms won't stay disabled in a fight. I've watched several fights both with my platforms and AI platforms when they get disabled they'll say disabled for a second then get a few points of hull and armor healing and pop right back into the fight. I've actually lost a few close fights because my forces couldn't focus on the starbase long enough because they had to keep diverting firepower to the platforms that won't stay down.

Best mod for starbase defense platform module...

works with 3.8

Anyone know if it works with 3.8?

@LennyTheLing could you detail how you added the penalty, or to what file? I'm having the same issue and its a bit frustrating.

Not having to constantly rebuild platforms makes this mod too good not to run though.

This concept sounds amazing only just found this mod and have to try it out for sure

@Ambit - most appreciated!

does this work for the current version?

currently im not really playing Stellaris. I will keep adding the stuff u guys notice to a list and when i start playing Stellaris again im gonna go through the list.

I did a quick & dirty fix with applying a -1 hull/armor repair penalty to disabled platform, it seems to be fixing the issue.

There seems to be a bug where defensive platform with regenerative hull tissue instantly reactivate.

+1 to update
love this mod

update please

looks like your tech has some invalid modifiers:

update?...

edict is only for host. so only host decides

How does this mod interact with multiplayer if it's controlled through edicts? Is it basically each player can set things their own way, or will things start breaking?

should be fixed. sorry for that.

The edict to alter the mods setting is gone. idk what else it so i am leaving the mod till it gets fixed

the enigmatic fortress just never dies with this mod.

@Sjru What do you mean?

Stil having issues with this mod making getting the enigmatic fortress impossible for some reason.

Finally my starbases are good

Having read your comment in the file: Answer is yes.

U could use the restart failure feature in the edict Menu. @NCTribit

Is it possible to make sure that not all protective platforms are preserved, but about 30% of their number?

It seems that if an AI or player have a regen bonus significant enough it can just revive the platforms forever and since they don't get disabled it makes capping a starbase hard enough
