Growing Planets
For Stellaris: 1.9.X
Mod Version: 2.0
Ever think your planets are too small??
Well, make them bigger with this mod!!
This mod adds a spaceport module: "Terraforming Station" (unlockable by Terrestrial Sculpting technology). Upon installing this moudles on your Spaceport, the planet grows in size at a mean rate of 2 tiles per year. Once the planet reaches maximum size (25 tiles) the Terraforming Station get disbanded automatically.
The construction cost for the module is: 400 minerals, 50 influence, 360 days; the maintenance is 10 energy. When planet reaches the 25 tile size the module destroyed, but no resources returned. Constructing it again is possible, but senseless.
Seeing how the planet’s model also does increase in size (it’s how the game is coded) this mod contains coding to ensure that you have a "donor planet" within your borders and it actually reduces the size of that planet at the same rate the main planet is increased.
To ensure that there is at least one planet of donor type that may support a mining station, a random planet (inside the empire borders) which is of donor type and carries no any deposits get +1 to minerals granted so that a mining station can be built upon it. And then your little guys can start strip mining it for precious soils to send back home!

Growing Planets mod orginally by Yandersen they were no longer interested in updating the mod, so I took it on. Would not be possible without them.
