Default Re: Orbital Colonies

your LaGrange point could also go unstable and explode.

these could both be used in the grit-tech mod, though. I am thinking of disabling many of the features that would cause conflicts with this. imagine each planet having a LaGrange point in the same sector, and being able to create orbital colonies there. this would indeed ***-up stellar supply generation, though.. in a big way. maybe if each system had the same number of fixed LaGrange points in orbit of the star, that way supply generation would be constant, and components could just generate porportionatly less supplies. say, if each star had 3 (or is it 4? i forget) LaGrange points. and if 4 then solar pannels would have to generate 1/5 as much per star. binaries would have to have twice as many points.. i dont know if thats realistic, but its would be the only way to balance out the supply generation.

Imagine also, being able to construct asteroid bases by converting them into a special size of planet, as described. all asteroids would have to be the same, custom, size. im not sure how the variables on the planet creator component would handle a custom planet size, though.
