So I think it is not a very good idea to let the situation become more and more complex when an implement request is just because "I don't need so many slots, just increase a little from XX is fine".

About change slot to 16, 36 or other slots which I don't do,

The first reason is ,it is not only a define change, it related to divide the building area to X * Y, and the position count here is not support exact float number by official GUI implement, so you will see the building icon is not exact alignment to each other, which may cause a not so good looking.

The second reason is, you can see each building slot have a land background for it, so when you want to implement something like 16 slots (8*2), you need to re-do all of the background piece to let them fit the same area as 6*2 before (so each piece have 3/4 width and the same height compare with original one). Official Stellaris have 24 inhabitable planet types so you need to do the action 24 times (and each of the type have 8 land background piece) and join them together to an new image; if you want to support more (like New Frontiers planet types) then you need to do the action more and more times.

Hi Rotiti!

Thank you for your hard work on this, WP's mod is beautiful and this really helps it so much. Others have asked for it, and I was wondering if you've chosen to try and make a version of this which supports 16 building slots instead of 24?

If not... is there any way you would recommend going about trying to edit a portion of the mod to allow for this?

Do you create a new game to test? all building slot mod need a new game for it to work.

I don't know if its just me but seems i can only build 12 buildings, the 48 building slot mods of yours works though?

i would like too the 16 buildigs slot, great work thanks

just wondering would you be able to do the 16 building slots one as i find playing with alot more tends to you know make late game a nightmare haha

Haha, my OCD will never allow this. I just might play with 24 for this alone. XD

@Flying_Squid_999

You can play with this mod but keep the 20 slots define.
Just the last four ones will never open for build.

As you said, to make more and more compatibility patch is not a very good idea :P

I wonder if it's possible to have support for 20 building slots, which is the default in ACoT defines, thus the intended number for playing with ACoT. And wow, this is a compatch rabbit hole.

Backgrounds is come from original mod auther WP, the selection and createion of him all is amazing

I completely understand and I appreciate the response! It's not the biggest issue in the world, but your backgrounds are so beautiful I had to ask!

People who like more and more planets all like New Frontiers, Planetary Stations, Planetary Diversity, and New worlds, but to make them work together (perfectly) is always not an easy thing.

So it may be, but not currently, it may not a good idea to wait (it from my side) :D

I'm surprised no one has mentioned anything, but have you consider any patches for Planetary Diversity? Obviously there isn't any images for the left side with new planets like Cave Worlds, so there is just a star background. Just curious if that was something you planned on doing - I hope so!

@MothXia

48 building slots version
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3345446271

honestly i love the third option, cant wait for somehow someone makes PR and dark blue ui patch and add this to my modpack

@MothXia

As my known it is not possible to do it by scroll solution, which need change a lot of UI to make it not look so beautiful anymore, the reason I already wrote in the discussion

Another way is scale down the building slot more, the original mod is 6x2, 24 slots is 8x3, so we may do it as 12x4 which is 48 slots.

It will look like this

or this which in vertical way

or this which remove the green box to notice you it is press-able, but looks better

I think the building icon is become too small and not so easy to use, but if you think it is acceptable, I can also provide this version (anyway, as the screenshot show, without change building slot background, I think four buildings in same slot background not looking so bad)

is there any way to make more slots?
i love the ui but it feels lacking to have less than 40 slots for my mega modded runs

@SOPHIA

WP's design have a good fallback preparation so I think modded planet will still work normally, just lack beautiful picture for them, so this should be just a beautify action.

I am also still working on add New Frontier and Planetary Station support (but slowly), WP's design is doing very well so I think it should be not too hard to add more patch for it, just....


to add more patch for it I am wondering the Load Order List will be very horrible :D

Howdy. I'm wondering if it woudl be possible at all for support to be added for certain modded in planets. (mainly wondering about ACOT or GIGA's.) if need be I can attempt to help where I can for ACOT at the very least. as I am trying. (very poorly.) to make a patch myself for it.

update 1.1.0

With some (code) magic now this mod use less file size (75MB->10MB) but support WP's New Worlds now!!

As WP's New Worlds have so many planet type so if you meet some issue feel free to let me know.

@Plerion

Just a cosmetic bug, all feature will work fine.

Would you recommend turning off WP's New World while using this for the time being? or is it just a cosmetic bug?

@uwot

No, this mod just let it can have fixed value up to 24 slots.

I will add the tech reason to a discussion to let someone interest about this to know the situation, maybe someone in the future have better idea to do this and can avoid some unnecessary test steps.

Awesome! Is this mod dynamic? Can I increase the building slots anytime? For example, could I edit the file to increase it to 36 or 80+ slots?

Awesome again! I'm not currently modding so this is AMAZING news to hear someone made a patch, thank you!
