!!(Yet Another Reworked Planet Diversity)
This is my own take of Reworked Planet Diversity (which itself is a merge of Reworked Planets and Planet Diversity) that I created for my own use but decided to share anyway. Instead of being an outright merge of the two mods like RPD is, this is instead an addon for PD, and requires it.
- sorts the planets into a grid along axes of temprature and relative humidity, ranging from Hot and Parched to Cold and Drowned, similar to how Reworked Planets does it (and prettymuch how RPD did it, though I use a different arrangement)
- gives each planet type a set of relative habitability data for each other that is based on grid proximity. In general, compared to regular PD you’ll find more worlds to be a little easier to colonise without being super overpowered. In return, you get less worlds with high habitability – related to this, ‘center’ (non edge, non corner) home planet types only start with 70% habitability. This is not a nerf as homeworlds themselves still sit at 100% from this.
- COMING IN A FUTURE UPDATE – terraforming time and cost also follows the grid, and terraforming along a particular axis requires certain technologys: Terrestrial Sculpting for humidity, Atmospheric Manipulation for temperature, much like RPD.
Unlike the old RPD this mod is a spiritual successor of, YARPD makes no changes to names, spawning rates, etc. It is simply habitability and (soon to be) terraforming changes, to fit PD into a grid nicely.
In descending order of importance:
- implement lPD trait tooltip changes
- implement terraforming changes based on Reworked Planets/RPD’s changes in a future update
I’ve made a patch for the New Worlds module by LexPeregrine, which is a pretty cool PD addon I’d recommend. The patch can be found here.
As of 9th May, 2019, the YARPD-New Worlds patch is no longer required. They should work together nicely out-of-te-box, so I’ve deprecated the patch.
For patching with Real Space, brucethemoose has made a compatibility file found here.
– Gatekeeper, author of Planetary Diversity, and an all-round cool human being. Assets used in PD – and by extention, YARPD – belong to Gatekeeper.
– Tommy2Shoes, for Reworked Planets, of which many changes in this mod are inspired by.
– SoulDoubt, who created the original Reworked Planetary Diversity, of which this mod is a spiritual successor.
-Norremitore, who got Prairie worlds suggested into PD, which helped a lot with reaching a state with this mod I’m happy(er) with.
