Brilliant, much appreciated. Feels tons better to me personally than using dev mode.

Personally I find Gravships as a solution to the situation where "Oh shit there's a cool quest, but it's on the other side of the map and it's going to take five years for my caravans to get there, never mind" and you just ignore everything else.

theres a reason this is a mod plus debug mode exists

Does the Grav Anchor have any impact on the game?
Perhaps the excessive cost was introduced to discourage players from building anchors on every map they visit.
After all, all the buildings, farms, etc. that they created would have to be stored and possibly calculated until the end of the run.

In any case, I think this mod is great, and I will restrain myself from littering the world with anchors.

To be fair if your running the grav ship you do get more advance components than the norm

I was thinking the design was to force you to be purely nomadic instead of setting up little farming/resource generation colonies and jumping between them. Which is a valid playstyle, but sometimes you want your gravship to be more of a glorified shuttle/assault aircraft than a colony-in-a-ship.

I think the idea behind it was that, similar to ideology's archonexus quest and the ending of anomaly, the dlcs have major defining events that essentially either mechanically or thematically start a 'new game plus' kind of situation. i think thats what they were trying to do with grav ships but they understandably added the anchor since there's no real 'payoff' for losing a colony like the archonexus quest.

To be fair, gravships are kinda OP if you think about it. They run on chemfuel and can hop from tile to tile like a frog. So, it makes sense if we'd want to have a permament base with a gravship acting like a multi-use drop pod.

It kinna dumb tbh, why these anchor so expensive? It only save a map, nothing else, maybe dev want us to keep hoping around like nomad, but i call it bull to make such thing so expensive, W mod
