Does this work with 1.9?

Updated at https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1165847575

Seems to work great with 1.8.2

I can build it ,but it doesn't work.

Sadly it appears the author has no plans to update this or his other mods.

"12:30 PM - Yandersen: And I have no intentions to waste my time on that shitty game."

As for incorporating it he kseems to be fine with that:

12:29 PM - Yandersen: Feel free to take work on them.

If he doesn't do an upgrade for this, I may very well incorporate the idea into my mod. Or at least make a 1.8 version of post it with my other as an add-on.

Yea, but still works

its out dated for me

Works fine for me on 1.8

Yup, would love to see updates for 1.8. Thanks!

planning an update for 1.8?

Love this mod, just curious about the cost thought process. Why influence????? Influence doesn't show up anywhere else in regards to terraforming, so why here???

Let the text and a little but translated into Russian. If you need to contact us. I will send a link to the archive.

nvm, found my answer after looking at older comments a bit.

this seems incredibly useful, giving a purpose to these tiny 9 tile worlds. Just wondering though, does the AI make use of it as well? i don't want to give myself anything that the AI wouldn't be able to do.

I can't translate this mod. After modifying yml file, game can't concieve this yml file...

It's not burying the places where people already are, it's depositing it where people want to be. On the flip side, have you ever been on "Sand Sweeping Duty" at Las Vegas? It suuuuuucks.

I'll probably try this out anyway...but I'm not sure how I feel about "donating" mass from other planets to make another bigger, while people are living on it. I mean...that sort of requires burying everything you've already built...apparently repeatedly.

Mechanically I don't have a problem with it...but it's really...odd. But, I tend to play with the Rare Earth Hypothesis mod, and the Terraforming Candidates mod, so this one seems pretty essential, especially for big maps.

I don't have this problem. I may only guess some files lost that mysterious BOM encoding (whatever it is) during upload. To confirm that look into the error.log, find some lines that might be related and post them here. Or can u give a screenshot mb?..

Why the pop-up window of the event appears without a normal description text,, but with example: sm_terraforming ? why so bugged?

Maybe at first it takes 2 years for a tile and you can work it down to 1 year per tile something like that.So you really use it end game like.

Do you know where the tile grow starts? right down ore left up on the surface screen?
I am a littel bit confused....

Because you're researching ways to Terra form better.

I can't imagine reason why it should increase the rate of mass transfer.

What about it increases with the amount of the Terra forming techs you research? Like researching certain parts increases the amount of tiles per year? Like researching how to make Gaia worlds increases amount of tiles by one.

I do not plan to introduce any configuration options. It would basically mean one can configure the amount of cheating. No, the decision of what rate should be - must be chosen by a collective decision here by a majority.

@Yandersen
Can you make it to have a edict that gives the rate? so everybody can choose it.
like mods like pirate and monster wave?

I am a sad. Is there any way for you to customize or select how many tiles you want per year, on a scaling cost? Ex: You can have 2 tiles/year, but it won't be cheap. Or you could have 1 tile every 5 years, but it's basically free.

this is nice especially for those small planets vassals colonize

10/10, you sir deserve a medal.

In my own game, I changed to 1 tile every 5 years. It would be a huge undertaking for real, and would be harder then terraforming. Regardless, great mod.

Cheers

Alright, changed back to original 1 tile per year.

I would like this mod but 2 tiles per year is ridiculous. It's comparable to the rate at which you "grow" tiles by building megastructures but those have very significant costs in comparison:

- Massive mineral requirements and, in the case of the Ringworlds, many years of preparatory work.
- Research cost increase from having additional colonized "planets".
- Only available in the late-game.

I know that balance isn't actually that important but I would prefer higher mineral cost and 1 tile per year of growth (I think an even lower growth rate would be entirely tolerable but that's up for debate).

I would like 1 tile per year.

I wouldn't mind if you RAISED the rate.

I think the rate is fine.

Who else thinks that the growing rate is high? If more people would agree I will lower the rate.

Author, it it cheat. May be fix for real challenge? For example - one tile for ten\five years?
It is more chalengeable game!

OH.... I totally misread that... No wonder it started working and then stopped working, most of my mining stations are on gas giants, and I misread the descriptions. I'm a moron.

Idk about rollbacks, but my guess is that there will be no problems.

Mizat, "I've got plenty of planets within my space that have no mining stations..." - the donors MUST have mining stations.

Hey Yanderson, I'm running into a slight issue with the mod since the whole 1.7 update/rollback fiasco and I was wondering if you could provide some feedback.

I have 6 or 7 planets with terraformers that just aren't getting any bigger that have had the terraformers for over a decade and I don't know why nothing's happening. I've got plenty of planets within my space that have no mining stations, and I don't know what I might be doing wrong.

Does this still work after the rollback from 1.7.2 to 1.6.2?

Why do u think it is not compatible? It will work, np, whatever u colonize will grow. But the donor types will shrink if mined, but only until colonized. So do not build mining stations around bodies u plan to colonize, that is all. The AI does not use the Terraforming Modules, so no worries.

Hey! Wanted to say i'm loving the mod so far and also i have a question. Are there any plans to make this compatible with the brute force colonization mod? Thanks!

UPD: just did a little investigation. Came to the conclusion that AI does not build ANY non-vanilla spaceport modules. Seems like the building rules are hard-coded. If u know any mods introducing some new spaceport modules and u can confirm that AI does build them - let me know. I didn't figured out what causes the AI to choose which module to build and it seems like the same tricks that work with buildings can not be applied here.

Hi, Silver Knight!
The AI does not build terraformers as it was reported, since noone willing to give me a hint how to do so while I am lazy to figure this out myself. :)
The Gas Giants are not considered as donors. If colonized, could grow (colonized asteroids can grow too).

2 questions i read here that the ai has problems with it? is that still going on and how so?
Is it possible to have no donor planets like. With mods that allow you to live on gas giants. Terraform all other planets and colonize asteroids.That might happen in my game or at least early on when my territory isn't too big.How will this mod react?

Didn't tried that mod myself. Let me know if your guess is right. However, if any imbalance will happen, I think the change should rather be requested from the The Belt mod making adjustments in regard to possibility of the asteroids to be of large size.

@Yandersen
Yeah, that...that shouldn't be possible. At least in regards to sheer balance. I've got several asteroids in my empire with over 100% mineral modifiers, one being nearly 150%. By the time I'm done growing it, it'll be close to produce 1k in minerals itself.

I'm just letting you know for...reasons. I don't know. I just like posting unexpected stuff that crops up during modding.

Those asteroids will be a donor candidates if the mining station built upon them, but once colonized, they will not shrink. If spaceported and terramoduled - they will grow.
