Ability Types on constructed worlds?

The world is a GG/tiny/none. I hijacked this type because it is never used.

I believe the reason this combo is never used is that it's "illegal". Gas giants are hardcoded to be at least medium sized, and cannot have an atmosphere of None.

I do not think this will work, the hardcode for GG will prevent the game from adding these if I remember correctly.

Seems to work OK...
I'll probably still get arrested and beat up by the mod police for something though

i dont think that you can do it with a construction, but i do think that you can put ruins on asteroids so that the first person to turn them into a planet and then colonizes them will get the bonus. this way it does not unballance GG people.

that's a good idea!

it doesn't do exactly what I want though, but I'll bear that in mind as I continue to play.

i think you can change the planet type you already designed into a asteroid instead of a gg. that way it keeps the same concept, but adds an extra step for transforming the planet.

Actually, yes...
somehow though it seems less complicated and there's less to go wrong, which doesn't suit my modding style

EXCEPT of course, aha, that the world would be a real world afterwards, and actually useful for something. Bur I suppose that's not the end of the... well you get the idea

Anyway, got to get back to my pseudo-colonizable asteroids.
