OK so this mod still works to protect planetary features when making archologies.

I''m happy.. but confused.

Well it works to preserve the "storm forged foundry

Yea it seems to work just fine

IIRC it should work fine if the code that handles the relevant edited terraforming hasn't changed at all, and is not incompatible with another mod's changes. Features/deposits added since 2.2 are obviously not included. Features that no longer exist will throw a harmless error.

Try it and report back?

Mod necro, but does this work for 3.5 due to its simplicity? Or will it break things?

About Spire: relic worlds are always build for science, not anything else. So I think + research should be preserved.

And this is compatipable with 2.8?

Does this work with Features added by Mods Such as PD, GPM, MEM?

I'd probably make sure the Central Spire is retained, since it provides a major source of researcher jobs, and you normally cannot get that off the Ecumenopolis as there's no research districts. Something you could do for the restored Ecumenopolis is make the old Reactor Pits/Solar Arrays produce energy passively once the city's restored, making the planet more self-sufficent.

@Vaeringjar how about restoring the "central spire"? Like once the arcology is restored, you can restore the spire, removing the bonuses, but creating free research jobs and some extra housing (as in clearing the fallen spire would probably free up some space nearby it). Could be a way to make the arcology a bit more interesting. Just a suggestion though, i got no experience modding at all lol

I'll be updating this at some point. I've been playing some and am noting down what I come across. For relic worlds I'll be making the "industrial sector" be retained, just not sure about the "central spire". I've noticed a bunch of GPM deposits are not being retained either.

If this does get updated, could relic world features be preserved when they're restored? Obviously max district slots wouldn't make sense, but perhaps they could add jobs?

Most recently I lost several bubbling swamp(exotic gas) on a basic terraforming.(Tropical to Ocean)

there is a chance, but idk what the timing will be like

in some stellaris version they changed this somewhat though, so if you have feedback on what deposits are disappearing and upon which terraforming it'd help

is there any chance this could get updated to the current version?

Seems like this mod will have to be revised for 2.3

"* Terraforming worlds no longer re-rolls districts, blockers, unique deposits"

The change doesn't affect hive/machine/ecumenopolis though.

@zulu9812
Can't think of any way this mod would be able to cause such an issue. This mod edits specific deposits, and the "clear_deposits" utility mod only touches the hive/machine terraforming event and arcology decision, and otherwise doesn't take effect unless a modder makes use of it.

What other mods are you using? Try looking for incompatibilities using SCModManager. Maybe one of the mods isn't compatible with 2.2?

This mod is safe to remove mid-game (though it may lead to some oddities, but won't cause technical issues), so try seeing if it still happens with this disabled.

I have a recurring bug and I think it might be to do with this mod. When I have primitive worlds in my empire and I've built outposts above them, sometimes the pops all disappear and the planet becomes terraformable (the outpost is still present and I can still select the different missions). When this happens, the planet in questions loses all of it's generator, mining and farming districts (i.e. all squares gone, can only build city districts). Could that be something to do with this mod?
