Void-bound industry (from a small personal mod that isn't released. Or ever will be.)


Numbers can be adjusted. But basically a module that adds a small amount of energy and minerals.
Boosted by various buildings that are unlocked at different points in the game.
To truly get a lot from it, you need all 6 modules filled with this, and all three buildings stacked. (I.e. dedicate the starbase to industry.)
Higher bonus buildings require lower level ones, so you HAVE to specialise the starbase in order to get good return.

Very nice one bro, however considering the fact that there are trading hub and nebula refinery in game already, I assume that few would choose those buildings anyway. I will still try to absorb your idea, anyway, and see what kind of improvement I can do upon it.

Hi, don't know if this is possible in coding, but I always hated that there is literally no possibility to train your Admirals/Generals until you are thrown into war.
I mean, what are all the troops and shipcrews doing while waiting for some action.
It just sucks to send a 1Star Admiral against a 5Star enemy, only to see him dying from old age before the war is over.

Station modul:
- Tactical training school
- - +1 EP/day for all ships / Admirals in Orbit
- - Limit is 100 EP / 2 Stars
- - inactive while enemy in System/Empire

- Space warfare academy
- - +2-3 EP/day
- - Limit is 1000 EP / 4 Stars
- - also not during enemy encounter ;)
- - limited to high level space station (e.g. fortress)
- - not cumulative with training shool

Planetary building:
- Training grounds (or maybe already part of the bunker)
- - same as the space modul, just for ground troops/Generals

upgrade building should be limited to large planets (e.g. T3 capital)

Do you think something like that would be possible to implement?

The current layout for starbases in 2.0.1 is asymmetrical and looks incomplete.

Without altering the outliners or interface in any way, there is room to insert 2 modules and 4 buildings.

For the 2 extra modules, they can be broken up into the star fortress and citadel upgrades. So that each upgrade unlocks 2 modules instead of 1.

For the 4 buildings, there are 4 starbase upgrades. So each starbase upgrade would unlock 2 building slots instead of 1.

I hope it's not too impractical a request.

As a follow on from the previous request. There is a matter fabricator that converts energy into minerals. Maybe a starbase version of this would be good? Maybe also minerals/food into energy.

EDIT: Sorry, my understanding was off. 1080p plus overhaul had changed the contents of the outliners. Making the starbase modules and building arrangement assymetrical.
Request stands though :) Just not as simple as I originally believed if you will make the mod with or without compatibility to 1080p plus overhaul.

For better or worse, NSC has released with a requirement for 1080p interface, and has given starbases extra module and building slots. So for those of us who use NSC, we have that now.
However that might introduce issues if 2 different mods both try to add slots to starbases. Something to be aware of.

How about a promanade that produces energy credits, Increases migration attraction, and Lowers commodities cost slightly {Maybe 15%}.
