Since this only adds modules, theoretically it should be compatible with pretty much everything, is this correct or me being stupid?

I currently have no plans to add new modules and I have no idea if the AI knows how to use them or not.

I am curious, do you plan to add research modules to increase research. As well as possibly doing something like Starbase Solar System Exploitation where the building slots enhance the resources modules to increase production of the entire solar system tied to the resources it enhances.

does AI also use these modules?

@Xyllisa Meem Paradox Station I don't think they do, good idea though, I'll consider that for the next update.

Do the industrial/foundry modules have flips for catalyic converter or whatever the food one is called?

Yea, looking through the code to check, this mod doesn't touch shipyards, I don't think it's an issue with it.

@John Helldiver It might be both of them are trying to overwrite the same file but I don't think that would cause shipyards to disappear, it does sounds like the sort of mod that might cause conflicts with this one though.

I am hoping to go through and clean up the code on this mod sometime though since it's rather old and a lot has changed since it was first written.

I don't know if it's this, or the combination of this and starbase extended 3.0, but Shipyards won't show up!

Sorry for the late communication. But here's the status:
- The mod still worked after the update
- Sidewinder Fang has made a proper update which I have just now uploaded. It updated jobs, housing and amenities values to match 4.0 amounts.

Thank you for your patience. The worm loves you!

Thank you for the update!

Is this mod still working fine with 4.0?

Is this still working with 3.14 ?

PLEASE UPDATE
THIS IS THE LAST STARBASE MOD THAT WORKS WITHOUT UI OVERHAUL, I CANT USE UI OVERHAUL

Is it possible to make a separate 3.6.1 legacy version?

This mod has been updated.

pls update

Please update to version 3.10. Thank you

does this modify orbital rings? I'm having an issue with ASPR and trying to troubleshoot the issue

I've just updated this mod to the 3.9 version of the game. I've boosted the science hubs to +5 science of all three types because it was a bit underwhelming before.

will this mod work with expanded starbases if i put it this one under it in the mod order? has anyone ever tested the two? I encountered a bug where multiple starbases are generated per star and i think its do to an old mod and the mod to replace it is expanded starbases

Would you be willing to look into buffing the research buildings somewhat? The forge module gives you 15 alloys, as much as 3 pops on metallurgy without buffs, but the research thingy only seems to give you half a pop's output, maybe one at max. They just feel kinda weirdly balanced like that.

Actually nevermind, I was missing the tech to build Forge-Decks. So it seems to work fine.

Using this mod on 3.7 with NSC seems to mostly work fine.
However the Foundry-Designation does not seem to work (Station with only Foundries is still designated as Mining)

Mid game or New Game?

This seems to be working just fine as of 3.6.1, excellent mod as always with just the observation that the Synthesis Arrays sometimes works and sometimes doesnt (as in it shows up as buildable in some playthroughs and doesnt in others)

my way of playing stellaris just isnt complete with this mod as it makes it more fun and easier to play it so i'll wait for this one to update

@MichaelMakesGames, That's a nice idea! It would have to be a habitat in orbit of the consecrated world. But those are starbases of sorts, so why not add those to the mod?

I'd probably add a few unique buildings for spiritualists like a "Pilgrimage Site" which creates some high priest jobs, provides extreme spiritualist attraction to the entire system and which adds a lot of trade value.

I have just updated the mod after completing the Orbital Prison Ring. It is designed to streamline housing by squeezing prisoners into cell blocks, freeing up spaces for you to build more mining/farming/energy disctricts for forced labor. There is also a special building to reward those who made it to Galactic Emperor status.

Another orbital ring idea: pilgramage buildings and modules to build around Holy/Consecrated Worlds. It would require a change to orbital rings since in vanilla you can only build them around colonized planets though

@ranma100 thats good, i love both mods which increase my immersion by a lot.
nsc with new ship classes and starbase is from here

This mod seems to work fine with NSC.

@PURUNGUI, I don't know any of those mods, but any mods that make changes to starbases in the games are highly likely to conflict with this one.

Has anyone ttried already how borked it becames with NSC or AA Starbase overhaul or Starbases Expanded?

@jcardii, Thanks for making me aware! I have updated the eight affected triggers. Let me know if you still get errors. In that case I might just remove the system types completely because the ones I added don't really affect any gameplay at present. I mostly created them with future development in mind.

Howdy,
Like this mod a lot.

I get error.log entries because system_types/starm_system_types.txt uses an old (2.*?) trigger "count_system_ships" in starm_system_type_research and starm_system_type_mining. That trigger is now "count_ships_in_system"

I don't see that you're using starm_system_type_research/_mining anywhere, so this is just log spam right now.

I am proud to present to you all the Orbital Resort Ring. This is the first of a planned series of special themed starbases. It increases the amount of housing on Resort Worlds by moving most of the tourism infrastructure into orbit, sparing the natural wonders of the planet from the worst effects of mass intergalactic tourism.

I'm open to suggestions for additional orbital rings. I'm currently working on a "Orbital Prison Ring" for Penal Worlds and a "Slave Ring" for Thrall Worlds. But I haven't decided on their stats yet.

@ranma100, Yes. I've followed the logic of the game where the modules do the same as a pop would on a planet. So a bureaucrat produces unity and a culture worker produces both unity and society research.

Seems like the Administrative starbase does the same thing as the Cultural starbase, except you don't get any society research.

@RedRover72, Thank you for helping me ponder how to handle the new admin mechanics. I'm pretty far into my first test game since 3.4 and it is becoming clear to me that both thematically and mechanically the role of bureaucrats has been completely revamped into pure unity spammers. So I've remade the administrative hub and data archive to reflect this. I'm currently playing around with the CommNet mod you linked, which I agree offers a very creative method to combat sprawl. But I will probably turn that into a separate mod after I had some time to fiddle with it. I know Paradox doesn't want us to overextend too much, but at the very least we should have more tools than just picking civics, ascension perks, etc. So hopefully there will be more to come!

@everyone, Sorry again for the long wait! I have now officially updated the mod. Now put those pencil pushers to work!

So, I looked into this and tried a few things. It's not just as simple as having a module reduce one of the new admin sprawl categories, doing so makes the building or module appear in the sprawl tooltip for each one built, which quickly fills up the sprawl tooltip.
At any rate, AlphaAsh came up with an interesting solution called CommNet that you might want to check out for inspiration.

Thank you Saxon, your whole collection is awesome!

@RedRover72 Thanks for the heads up and suggestions!

And sorry for the long silence, everyone. This mod is up next for a much needed update. It looks like I'll first have to dive into how admin cap works now.

Edit to my previous comment, it should probably reduce sprawl even less than 1%, else you could get negative sprawl, which would result in unlimited unity production when raising a planet's ascension tier. That would become a pretty major exploit.

This is a great mod, so are your others, and I thank you for sharing them. If you decide to update, may I suggest changing the administration hub to reduce empire pop or system sprawl by 1% or 2%, instead of adding admin capacity?
Adding admin cap since 3.3 breaks the new system paradox introduced. Not really breaks, but since it's supposed to be fixed at 100 now, it makes it very unbalanced.
Otherwise, it seems to work fine in 3.3.x and 3.4

Works great for me, only issue is that hivemind "Brood nest" modules still increase admin cap, which was removed as a mechanic in 3.3, and I think the Artisan Troupe specific module (art college?) boosts output for a culture module that doesn't exist, or at least isn't available to hiveminds.

Seems to work fine in 3.3

Hi, thank you for a great mod. Is this compatible with 3.3.1?

@SAXON, I see, thanks for the info !

@Shepard, Sorry for the confusion! The Synthesis Array requires a technology which is added by another one of my mods: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/1828891972/1639793203779686397/

The technology is called "Macro Synthesis"
