First off, thank you for making this mod. I was very sad to see mining habitats go away.

Would it be at all possible to allow the construction of Mining Habitats over regular planets with Mineral Deposits? Possibly with some kind of debuff to overall efficiency (to avoid becoming OP, and represent the inefficiencies of extracting minerals out of a planet-sized Gravity Well)? Because I don't know if it's bad luck on my part or what, but I generally don't get a lot of asteroids with mineral deposits in my games: they tend to provide trade value instead (grr), with Barren/toxic/frozen worlds providing most of the space minerals.

Heya

Thanks for the complement, it's funny, I have literally just had a similar problem in a recent game and was wondering if I just got unlucky or if they have changed the deposit distribution probabilities.

That combined with another, more ambitious mod idea has me leaning towards implementing mining habitats on planets with mineral deposits. So will probably have a look at that in the coming days.

Done, latest version will allow building around mineral rich planets. Should be totally save compatabile, you'll just get the ability to build them.

The deposit still says asteroid surface, but those get viewed rarely enough that I will wait until doing a big fix to change it.

Thank you for that the speedy replies/changes, but I think your adjustment may have had unintended side-effects: in my new games, I'm able to build mining habitats without having the Voidborne perk, which is probably not intended. No other megastructure-related mods.

Also, for balance reasons, it might be worth it to make it so that mining habitats over planets don't get the +25% minerals that asteroids do. With the number of 8 mineral planets in 2.2.6, mineral income could get insane.

! Bugger, I took voidborn out so I could test them! Will put that back.
Any mining hab on a planet should get a -15% modifier, if it gets the +25 thats definately a bug. (And i tested that last night, they definately didn't)
