I'm sure you already saw this, but I might as well put it here, too. I'd like to request the optimal systems for the ice mining stations used by the Hydrocentric perk.

What parameters would you suggest for picking the best systems for ice mining? Is it just the total base value of every system mining deposit for the +15% output bonus, or does the number of icy planets/asteroids matter?

I'd say the total number of frozen worlds and asteroids is what matters to me. Frozen worlds give three planetary expansions each, and asteroids one, so I'd like the system to just tally up every frozen world and ice asteroid in a system and give me the one with the most 'ice points' (for lack of a better term)

thank you!

Counting up frozen planets and ice asteroids like that is simple enough, I'll add it to my to-do list!

I have already written in the comments, but since there is a topic of suggestions here, I will duplicate it.
I would like to suggest adding compatibility with the Real Space mod. It seems to be easy, just add checks:
is_binary = yes
is_trinary = yes
is_paired = yes
And in the Real Space mod itself there are expanded lists of new systems for these checks. I didn't check it completely, but I made similar checks in your mod and it seems to work.

Of course, I mean the compatibility of location searches for Dyson swarm. For other searches, such compatibility does not seem to be required.

I would love to be able to use this in my ironman saves, or maybe a branch of it specifically for achievement runs.

can you add this mod to the paradox mod hub?

I haven't used the Paradox mod hub before, so all I did was upload what I've already got with no changes. Hopefully that's all I needed to do.

It works, thank you for putting your mod on paradox's mod hub!

Hi. Could I ask you to add a search for the biggest planet? There are ?vanilla? and modded Events that let you convert a planet/gas giant to another type. I found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Stellaris/comments/f18ozf/how_do_i_know_what_size_an_uninhabitable_planet_is/ Hope it helps.

Ironman = Paradox checksums all .TXT files under Mod-Name\Common directory.
This mod MUST, in order to function, exist within \common\ directory, so sorry no.

+1 to request, that would be cool.

There is another mod, bit difficult to use, which adds a decision, to uninhabitable planets to show a dialog for their size.

Also with ACoT you can, eventually (lots of research), use the Emissary ship to "bless" any planet into a habitable one, and for some the bigger the better ;) (although it cannot convert Gas Giants, it can convert any non-gas)

My request is to make a slight change to your code for your option button

Gigastructural Engineering (one of the MOST popular ever mods) has some Kilostructure Megas that function, essentially, like Arc Furnace (adding deposits to system bodies)
Your Arc Furnace search button returns great/matching results for those also.
However it is disabled unless certain techs are known.

o I suggest you add an additional OR element for if GIGAS mod is loaded

@Benedictus
I'm not going to do a largest uninhabitable search, since there's no way for a player to know uninhabitable planet size in normal gameplay

I'll add checks to unlock the decision and Arc Furnace search if the gigastructures flag is present next update.
