Boundless Space Stations

Description
This WILL NOT change your existing stations, sorry!
Increases possible build room on player stations by increasing the world size.
No more need to compromise station design to fit within such a limited grid.
No need to consider space efficiency.

Width
Height
Vanilla
1650
500
Boundless Space Stations
64,000
64,000

So how limited is vanilla anyhow?
Think in terms of tiles. Where as a wooden door is 5 tiles tall. The starting station area is 35 tiles tall including the walls.

If you use something like long shafts (the ones conveniently pre-setup with rails) which are 3 grids tall, you'll run out of room fast. Likewise the large cores will rapidly deplete you of room.

In vanilla you can only place 1 long shaft going up(from the starting grid) and that leaves you 2 grids above that to use. And 2 long shafts down from the starting grid, leaving 1 grid below to use. So I guess that's a mere 13 grids tall top-to-bottom. Quick calculation says that world height in theory should support a little more, but their starting height seems to prevent full use of one grid area. And I don't think you can use the area right at the very top/bottom anyhow.

I don't see the point of such limitations - no benefit at all. Space is unimaginably large, so why be limited to such small stations?

Notes
This mod can work with "Disable Tile Protection on Space Stations", "Custom Space Station Rooms - Freely Buildable Expansion Areas", etc, and probably every other mod. You really don't need to ask.

This mod can be uninstalled safely. In which case the station "worlds" you generated with this mod will retain their size for the same reason the ones you generated prior to installing will retain their small vanilla size. Such parameters are determined at generation time and will remain.

If you want to start a new station, you can just spawn another transponder.
/admin spawnitem stationtransponder 1 /admin

It seems to be unlimited towards the right but not towards the left (left of original mech bay). I just figured that out

Mod doesnt seem to be working for me, tried wiping station. Tried unsubbing from all other mods, still nothing after 2 rooms up and then 2 rooms to the left the station doesnt allow me to expand further

Now if you had something like FU, or BYOS Standalone - THEN it would definitely be a priority that /everyone/ have the mod BEFORE joining the server.

That being said, considering you can only load player ships and not entire stations into the game world - it will /probably/ be ok to move the data between compatible/incompatible worlds.

@ALEX2014, There's a reason most mods say "All Players Must INstall this mod for the server to function". If there's a mod-mismatch and it's not a client-sided mod (which I use very few of and usually are specifically indicated as such), it will likely crash because of the mismatch at some point.

What about multiplayer? How it affects me/other vanilla players if i use it on my world/someone else world?

@Nysch bk3k time is very limited so I took the chance and posted to the comments section in Hope's he wouldn't mind.

@Nysch
I'll verify it though, since I did upload something there. An unfinished/unpolished mod - hence why I never really uploaded it elsewhere. I figured it would be a decent little discord extra or something.

Weapon vending machines - mostly random generated weapons that get generated every time you open the interface. But one of the machines has some random boss drops if you want stuff without killing the boss 200 times or whatever the RNG gods demand of you.

Carl - I would trust that link more if two things weren't true: 1. I just came out of Grey Hack to this comment 2. bk3000 didn't post it himself.
