Research Institute seems to be outdated. I ended up deleting the building folder entirely like was suggested below.

All that needs to be changed is the descriptor file and maybe some of the icons. I also tweaked the Microgravity Lab to give the same output/similar upkeep to normal, machine and hive empires, but you can revert that if you don't agree with the change. I also added a line to make the Refinery Hub add food upkeep for catalytic empires.

I'd definitely suggest for you to look over it again just in case I overlooked something or made some sort of error.

Yeah if you want to do that i didn't think this would break as fast as it did lol

The mod is currently mostly broken. Modules and the Surveillance still work perfectly fine, but every other starbase building as well as the Research Institute don't work. The buildings folder can be completely removed since the vanilla Research Institute already does the same job does the same now (unless you want the bonus to be increased on ringworlds). Other than that the main issue are the Microgravity Research Labs and the Strategic Resource Depot, the other buildings would work fine without them.

I tried to fix it myself and it seems to be working just fine, so if you want I would be happy to send you the changed files so you can update the mod.

eh I'll just remove it for simplicity

This mod has a file in common/ship_sizes/00_orbital_rings, and that file is not up to date when compared to vanilla. If no overwrite is intended, you should probably remove the file from this mod. Otherwise it will override the vanilla version.

This mod doesn't add the orbital rings either only buildings and modules for them if the rings don't have triggers for bio ship empires thats on paradox

im going to be honest i forgot Wilderness empires are even a thing lmfao

At least Institute and Supercomputer are missing triggers related to Wilderness empires. Some economic categories have outdated code, for example biotrophies, chemists and refiners hacing incorrect parent. Orbital rings have no triggers for bioship empires.

This mod is currently not up to date at all.

Done and done

Same, this really enhance the experience

yeah, me, too

Hello, I love your mod and would like to ask for an update

<Obligatory 4.* check>

Thanks for the work maintaining this mod, I'm the author of the original and I'm glad to see that people still use it!

Thanks @Aurelias, this mod looks to be great for the build game play. If you do re-visit this mod, I hope that 3.14 doesn't get in the way!

Hey does anyone know if this works with the v3.14.15?

Alright, thanks for letting us know and also for updating the mod in the future

i don't see why it wouldn't, but yes the comments do suggest there are a few things up with the mod and like i said within a previous comment its due for a revisit and an update which i will be working on after i finish one for another mod.

Does this work on 3.12? Comments are kinda ambiguous about it

As for the different Versions I'm assuming you mean checksums that is interesting I'll take a close look at that.

This mod is due for a visit anyway, that issue does seem like more of a steam detection issue like how they don't automatically update sometimes i'll see if anything in the mod is actually causing this but i do doubt it is. Could be a bugged steam ID?

Hi, I'm having problems updating the mod (and so are my friends). When we unsubscribe, the mod is not removed from the hard disk, and when we re-subscribe (after manually deleting the mod from the hard disk) it is not re-downloaded. There are 6 of us in total and we all have this problem - we noticed it because we always had different versions of the game with this mod.

Alright i'll take a look at it.

I don't have any modules in build list on 3.12.2. Tested this by running this mod standalone

Haven't checked up on this one, most likely if i was to guess

does this still work in 3.12?

hahaha, it's hilarious to see the joke descriptions for the modules I wrote have made it all the way to this point. Thanks dude. I've always wondered if anyone picked up on the blatant reference I made on the orbital surveillance hub.

Alright that's odd I'll take a look at it tonight.

I did some testing and the version of this mod marked as [OBSOLETE] does in fact work perfectly fine.

I don't think I have any other mods that alter orbital buildings. The only thing I can think of that *might* affect it is additional vanilla buildings. But I made sure to put this mod below that one.

Where is it in your load order?
if you have anything else that edits orbital rings then its going to have issues

This mod is broken, it doesn't add any orbital ring buildings at all.

Would you mind also adopting my or creating your own compatibility patch for stellaris evolved - alpha? The only incompatibility is that both this mod and that one override the research insitute, so there isn't a lot of code the patch would need to contain

Actually, it works now! Nice mod

This is a very lite mod there actually not a lot involved in it so it can be hard to notice, I'm planning on adding more defining buildings for it.

Interesting do you happen to have any other mods that interact with Orbital rings before this one in the load order?

Hey, I love the idea of this mod, but it doesn't seem to do anything for me. I put it on the bottom of the load order to be safe, but yeah. no extra orbital ring buildings at all.

(original mod author here) Yes, it should be safe to switch mid-game. Thank you, Aurealis, may this mod prosper in your hands

If I am using the original version, can I switch to this version mid-game? Thanks.
