Re: Orbital Colonies
Well, I think I figured out a couple of ways to mod this.
1. Mod a new constructed planet size called a space colony. Then make a star that's all black (or has some representational marker on it) and call it a Lagrange Point. Then add Lagrange Points to your existing maps in the same "rings" as the planets, or mod the systems file. Then mod a large component that can create the space colony constructed planet (ala ringworld generator).
Now start the game, build a ship with a space colony component, fly out to a Lagrange Point and "construct." You can even build sphereworlds and ringworlds on them if you want to.
Only problems are they affect solar supply gen, solar resource gen, planets can be created there with Lagrange Points in the system and no star, and Lagrange Points can be destroyed by star killers.
OR
2. Mod a super tiny planet size called a "space colony." Then mod a planet generator component that can only create those super tiny planets (space colonies). Fire up the game, build the right ship, find some asteroids, and "generate."
Only problems is space colonies can only be built in asteroid sectors.
