Re: Colonizing Stars, Warp Points and Storms
I spent alot of time trying to mod in colonizeable asteroids - gave up gas giant colonization because i figured it would be a fair trade.. remote mine the gas giants and colonize the little rocks.
got everything working, except the asteroids show up with planet names and descriptions. i think the descriptions can be fixed, but anything you mod in will be stuck with planet names... wasnt worth it to me, so i threw out the plan.

Re: Colonizing Stars, Warp Points and Storms
Puke, make the colonizable asteroid a moon of a normal asteroid. That way, it will be named "SystemName Asterods V A" or some such.

Re: Colonizing Stars, Warp Points and Storms
yeah, but then asteroids are not generally colonizeable. thats not actually a bad idea though, but it would require a further re-write of the system types file, instead of just a find/replace.
that would actually fit in well with the no-mobile-construction idea: you would have to build a spaceyard and then launch a mining base from there, if you wanted to mine asteroids with a base.

Re: Colonizing Stars, Warp Points and Storms
I like the asteroid moon idea. I wonder if remote mining abilities would function in a modded facility...
