Machine Shipset Add-on: Gigastructural Engineering Ringworlds – Standard
This is a compatibility patch between the Machine Shipset and Gigastructural Engineering & More (3.7) to allow regular ringworld sections to use the Machine Shipset graphics (including the Hive and Machine variants) for regular-sized ringworlds. This mod also ensures that the Machine Shipset ringworld segments are used for many gigastructures such as the Orbital Arcology and that the O-class Dyson Sphere also uses a matching model.
For larger flavors of ringworlds, you will need Machine Shipset Add-on: Gigastructural Engineering Ringworlds – Titanic, Behemoth, and Gargantuan which is a separate, optional mod due to the graphical oddities created by the unaltered Machine Shipset ringworld graphics being reused in unintended ways.
Combined with my other mods Ringworld Graphical Enhancements and Machine Shipset Add-on: Shattered Ring and Habitat Appearance, your Origin: Shattered Ring empires will again have the correct Machine Shipset graphics for their starting ringworlds.
Adds graphical entities for the Machine Shipset that are compatible with the ringworld changes from Gigastructural Engineering & More (3.7). Adds an event to assign the machine_01 graphical culture to ringworld megastructures if the constructing empire has that graphical culture.
Also replaces two megastructures from base Gigas – gigablackhole_ring_world_3 and interstellar_habitat_5 – to support having the Penrose Sphere and Interstellar Habitat ringworlds match the machine_01 graphical culture. Note that existing fully constructed ringworld segments are not affected, only segments that finish upgrading after enabling this mod will have the new appearance.
Same compatibility as Gigastructural Engineering & More (3.7).
Built for Stellaris version 3.7 "Canis Minor." Not compatible with achievements, but neither are the dependencies.
- Machine Shipset for the original graphics and other ship-related code
- Gigastructural Engineering & More (3.7) is the mod we’re making compatible
- Ringworld Graphical Enhancements to apply the owner’s graphical culture to the ringworld from Origin: Shattered Ring (my mod Subtle Polish is not recommended due to a high likelihood of conflicts with Gigas)
- Machine Shipset Add-on: Shattered Ring and Habitat Appearance ensures that the permanently-destroyed sections for Origin: Shattered Ring using the Machine Shipset properly display as that shipset (adds missing graphical definitions to the Machine Shipset)
- Machine Shipset Add-on: Gigastructural Engineering Ringworlds – Titanic, Behemoth, and Gargantuan to enable the Machine Shipset graphics for all three additional sizes of ringworlds added by Gigastructural Engineering – warning: the graphics were not edited to reduce curvature, so it produces fairly bendy-looking rings
This mod can be safely added after the game has started, but should not be removed from a game in-progress. It can theoretically be removed from a game in progress – any standard ringworlds should will likely revert to the fallback appearance for the Machine Shipset (mammalian_01), except for the special Origin: Shattered Ring starting section. Back up your savegame before attempting to remove a mod.
In order to ensure the Penrose Sphere and Interstellar Habitat ringworld segments look like the Machine Shipset when completed, it was necessary to override the final stage of the megastructures gigablackhole_ring_world_3 and interstellar_habitat_5. Expect to see two entries in the error.log like this:
