Ahhh, I see. Thanks for the help!

Also, in some mods, sphereworlds have more of a point (mods that have population modifiers high enough for sphereworlds to use effectively).

P&N (Pirates and Nomads) is a good one for this. With a Temporal / Advanced Storage race, I was able to get a 77B population on one sphereworld ... and SpaceYard rates of 117K/117K/117K ... !!

On a semirelated topic ... as far as modding planet sizes, does anyone know the theoretical maximum number of facilities a given world, ringworld, or sphereworld could be assigned ... ?

Possibly 999. That, or 256^2-1. Or, so completely random arbitrary number.

So you could build a sun destroyer in like one turn?

Or a fully armed Battlemoon in about three,
and about a zillion fighters.

Yes, just think, It'd be like Trantor of Foundation fame, it woudl require 20+ worlds to support its voracious appetite for resources (if you ignore the fact it doesn't produce resources).

Now there's an idea, how about making a sphereworld that doesn't produce resources, it has like 10 slots or so, so its only useful as a shipyard with 64 B people. By the way, growing that many people is truly heinous

I'll be adding spaceyard expansion projects...

Then you could have the Sphereworld filled up with 200 spaceyards, and be getting 25-50 times more build rate instead of resource production facilities.
