Hey Tai, I've been doing some deep modding with some friends. We grabbed your mod and had some unique experience. Energy and food dynamics were a struggle for us in a way we were not accustomed too... we disabled giga diversity and everything generally went back to normal. I play a bio-hive, friends play some other dynamics, but all of us suffered the issue with energy and food generation... I have had some modding experience with Rimworld and some other games and I haven't dug into this issue but wanted to alert you to this regardless...

@Jetharius I will have look into this. What other mods are you using?

Origin Suggestions:

"Sanctuary Interloper" - The Great Ring, except it's full of primitives and you start on a PD Rogue World orbiting the black hole.

"Doom-ish" - Doomsday except you also have a bunch of Planetary Habitats so it's not going to destroy your everything even if you somehow fail to expand.

"Topiary" - You must start out on a Rare world. All the various Rare world types exist as small-ish moons around a few gas giants in your home system. There's also an abandoned orbital ecosystem and an abandoned orbital habitat with clues about your creator. Lower population to start due to smaller planet size, but you ought to be able to rapidly expand to a couple of other planets or at least the habitat.

@doctornull Some if not all of these are feasible. I really like the sanctuary interloper idea.

"Abandoned Shipyard" - Start on an Equatorial Shipyard with a Mining barren planetary habitat and a Hydroponics frozen planetary habitat. Unlike the vanilla Equatorial Shipyard start, no special buildings or deposits. You get energy from the capital's generator districts, food from the hydroponics hab, and minerals from the mine hab. Habitat preference (but no productivity bonus and no growth malus traits).

Thank you tai_mao2 for leading me here :D

As commanded, I suggest a compatibility patch for the Megaflora terraforming issue: a Megaflora Hive can't terraform any planet because it does to passively by colonizing. There are however "valuable worlds" added by Guilli's PM, which cannot be colonized and are therefore locked out from play for Megaflora (and infested world) Hives.

In the other place I found your comment I forgot to ask if you use the mod Gigastructural Engineering. That will help me plan

I am indeed using it. Load order (with Guilli's PM) is according to your mod description. The only PD Submod I'm using is Unique Worlds.

Could you add APSR to this?

Hi, looking at how you handle capital building triggers for habitats, I suggest that you check them by district types as you'll catch more edge cases that way.
Here's how they're checked in the Merger:
OR = {
is_planet_class = pc_habitat
# Workaround for special habitats
uses_district_set = habitat
# Planetary Diversity
uses_district_set = pdplanethab
}

I'll difinitely look into it. Just be mindful I piggyback on a lot of the changes to triggers that PD, GE, and GPM make. I think the section you are talking about is from PD Planetary Habitats. It might be helpful for the PD maker to see this too

Not sure, but I will look into what that is to see if it fits my theme

hmm. could you add a thing where the Planetary Habitats count towards / are affected by the "Habitats & Orbital Elysium" limit in Gigastructures's game-initial settings?

I have added that feature after sorting out how to add it into the decisions that PD has to destroy the planetary habitats and also for terraforming connections that also reduce the number of habitats

um... i'm not entirely sure what you mean by that... but a brief playtest (with Gigastructures, Planetary Habitats, and this mod) reveals that it is still possible to build planetary habitats ad infinitum, and that the Gigastructures setting has no effect on it.
