Orbital Ring for Uninhabitable Planet

Description
Do you ever think about, you want to add something to your familiar planet, such as Luna, Europa, Ganymede, or Triton .etc, to represent Human had explored and get resources from them. You may want to have some modify and design can do on them, but not prefer to make all of them to a colony?

Now you can have one more choice.

This mod add ability to build Orbital Ring to uninhabitable planet. Instead of the one be built on a colony have habitable module, Orbital Ring built on uninhabitable planet will have "resource collector module" and "resource refinery module", which helps to get common resources or rare resources by automation task, and different uninhabitable planet type will get different resource type.

pc_barren
pc_barren_cold
pc_asteroid
trade_value_add = 10
(combine with The Giga-Mall will bonus trade value output)
alloys = 5
pc_molten
minerals = 8
(combine with Low Gravity Mega-Refiners will bonus minerals output)
volatile_motes = 2
pc_toxic
energy = 10
(combine with Stratospheric Ionization Elements will bonus energy output)
exotic_gases = 2

New feature in 1.1.0

Now you can build Habitation Modules on several Orbital Ring for Uninhabitable Planet, then use a Habitat in the same system to use the all districts they provide!!
(for ex., build Orbital Ring on Io, Europa, and Callisto, then just use a colony Jupiter Orbital Habitat to use all extra districts they provide, to avoid too many colonies exist in a system but still have the romance that your people live around whole system)

To achieve it, you just need to build a building "System Transit Center" (only can have one per system) on the habitat you want, then the Habitation Modules in the same system which is not belong to a colony will all count as the districts of this habitat.


--
When you think you don't need this Orbital Ring on uninhabitable planet anymore (for ex., you terraform the planet), you can use my mod Orbital Ring Destructor to help to remove the existing Orbital Ring.

My another mod Spaceport Building with Orbital Station provide an alternative option when you want add something to a planet

Now support English and Chinese language

By design, AI will not use content of this mod

Compatibility:

May some vanilla and mod Orbital Ring building and module take no effect when you build them on the one for Uninhabitable Planet (in general, the ones which is designed to function to a colony).

Orbitial Ring built on pc_asteroid or pc_ice_asteroid will not see Orbitial Ring model on it, maybe it is official restriction.

Why set auto build constructor ship and build orbital ring for all planet in system , instead of mining facilities ?

You can use it without start a new game.
After add some of them then remove this mod may cause unexpected behavior.

Is it possible to make a 3.6.1 version for this mod?

I miss this mod

Hi! Can you please add pc_machine_broken to the list of allowed planet classes ? ModJam2024 has a nice system with machine world and three pc_machine_broken moons.

sky_orbital_ring_uip.txt
Line 57
+ is_planet_class = pc_machine_broken

I can make a pull request if you have github repo :)

@The Worthless Gamer

It is possible, so I add the feature now.

But anyway, it seems official doesn't think we will try to add an orbital ring to asteroid, so it can't be displayed when built on asteroid (maybe the model is in the asteroid itself I guess). But you can still click it and has function correctly.

Or you can try my another mod

It will build a starbase instead and also have special function for it without model can't be seen issue.

is there a variant that allows orbital rings on asteroids?
