Been a few years but is there a up to date version of the mod?

Do you think you'll have to spin this off into a completly new thing?

I'm not sure how it'll end up happening. It's definitely new projects all around though. There seems to be a lot of grumbling on reddit about the new update, so if nothing else having a 2.1 version left up indefinitely is the way to go.

I'm assuming it will take time to get this mod to work with the new building system.

Hrm. Did the vanilla game do away with it?

In 2.0-2.1, I seem to have lost any kind of penalty for terraforming occupied worlds regardless of these techs/buildings. This and other SE mods are all I have related to terraforming.

(Note that this may be listed compatible somewhere, but I'm asking this question on every mod I have because screw 2.0)
Is this mod compatible with V1.9? Or is there a seperate version, possibly?

Despite researching xenobiology which claims to give access to the phytogenic infusion reactor I am still unable to build it.

I'm using 2.0.1. I did have 2.0.2 for a while, but then I downgraded back to the released version.

Did they just update to 2.0.2 or something, because the "this" block was specifically added to fix an error, which it did.

This mod is throwing an error.

[14:18:11][trigger_impl.cpp:793]: Script Error: Invalid context switch[this], file: common/buildings/cofh_se_geo_buildings.txt line: 218, Scope:

[14:18:11][trigger_impl.cpp:794]: type=planet

random={ 0 0 }

I don't know enough about stellaris's coding to figure out the root cause. I guess maybe "this" is no longer a valid conditional.

Thanks for updating this mod!

Hey, King Lemming? I'm using this mod with a lot of other mods, but I've never even once been able to build the buildings added by this. Not even a single time. I get the research, sure, but the buildings don't show up. Do you have any idea what could be the cause?

I like it as it is.

I think that it's a bit OP that that one building negates the entire -20% Happiness penalty from an on-going terraforming. The building already gives lots of other very nice bonuses. I really think you'd do well to lower the effect, so that the building gives only a +15% Happiness bonus during terraforming, negating most but not all of the effect. In particular when it comes to Gaiaforming a colony. That's a long time. With your mod as it is now, opting to Gaiaform is a no-brainer if you can effort the Energy cost. With my small proposed change, the player will actually have to decide whether it's worthwhile to accept years and years of -5% Happiness.

"Applied Geophysics" oh you :)

You can already terraform via a vanilla tech, that's why this changed. ;) Now it's provides a bit of boosts to terraforming and planetary specialization.

oright thank you an that means ill be able to terraform the world to the biomes added by planetary diversity

There's no need for a patch anymore. The mod functions in a different manner now and should be compatible with everything out of the box.

hey is your mod compatible with planet diversity i know a guy made a patch for it for version 1.5 but im wondering if you fixed that yourself

Sort of? It looks to me like you have some sort of compatibility patch installed. That is an old reference that no longer exists in this mod, so something else is adding it.

This tech/building is from your mod, right? The geo reactor?

Cool

Another update, another technology: Applied Geophysics!

+25% Terraforming Speed and Research gained whenever terraforming a planet or clearing a tile blocker. It's a fun little addition.

ah yeah.
No worries.

Actually I'd rather the mod didn't require the dlcs.
That way more people can use it!

They do not add Unity, no.

I considered having something like that, with the right Ascension Perks, but the UI isn't really made to display a single building generating more than 3 different resources.

I'm pondering another tech and possibly an ascension perk though for a way to gain unity and society research.

More buildings are always good, especially if they add unity!

Updated again. Reactors have returned in a slightly different form!

I considered adding planet modifiers, but frankly that's just a lot of extra code for the same effect, and I worry that the game would process it in a less than optimal fashion.

It just wouldn't be Stellar Expansion without 86 sub-mods on the market at once! :p

*gives thumbs up*

Updated for 1.6! I'll be adding more stuff to it. But at the moment, it actually serves to augment the Ecological Adaptation tech nicely. :)

I agree, that would be really nice and a reason to keep this mod in my active game list.

@Pode - Yeah, that's one of the ideas I'm kicking around.

Suggestion: repurpose this mod to increase the size / number of tiles on a world as Tile Terraforming once did. Represent terraforming the less hospitable parts of a world's surface into something useable.

Well, if this mod is no longer need, I just wanna say thank you for this mod. It filled an empty gap that has enriched my gameplay experience for a long time! <3

Honestly, it probably still works. The only change required should probably be a version update.

However, the mod no longer NEEDS to work. Paradox added a technology which allows you to terraform inhabited worlds.

I'll be looking to either repurposing this or just discontinuing it. But as it stands, it doesn't serve any real use.

With the new update this mods doesn't work anymore

good work

Is today the day that I finally give thanks for this great mod and award it a thumbs up?
It is! Thanks for the work you put into it.

I appreciate the work that you've put into this mod! Kudos to you implementing this feature before the devs did. I continue to enjoy all your other fantastic mods!

thanks you for fullfilling the need while paradox didn't, now i will unsubscribe for the greatest good, i hope you will get others great idea

Thanks for fulfilling this need with your great mod during the time Paradox didnt =)

One of your other mods has empire-wide effect buildings for certain strategic resrouces - perhaps have them be unique buildings that have modest empire-wide effects each? Seems a shame to just scrap the idea entirely and these buildings are quite useful in certain situations x3 Or perhaps just make them all tie in to habitability or have other modest effects for a planet.

I'm probably going to keep the Terraforming mod as *just* terraforming. I could reasonably add the institute to Stellar Expansion though.

Well, that sounds like a good effect for an empire-unique building then. :)

"Geological Institute", perhaps. Maybe include it in the Terraforming mod, if you have no other ideas?

That would actually be a super great use for it, but unfortunately it's an empire-wide modifier.

Is it possible to just have the buildings reduce terraforming time or cost on that specific planet?

Okay, so as it stands right now, I'll be shelving this temporarily when the update hits. It's going to take a LOT of rewriting to turn it into something else.

Right now, I have a lot of other mods and mod ideas that are going to take priority, though I imagine this will make a resurgence in the 1.6 timeframe.

Any mod exist for generate planet modicator. I think that could give a second life to this one when the 1.6 will be here.

As I sad 18 days ago, build the other stuff into your Terraforming mod and then you'll have fewer mods to keep updated, which can only be good for your loyal patrons. :)
