Description
This mod let you control the L-Cluster access by open / close and build L-Gates, if you are the ruler of Terminal Egress. This is a addon and stand-alone mod from A Deadly Tempest.



Once you researched the “L-Cluster Access Control” technology, you will get a unique decision and an artifact action, that allows you to close or open the access to the L-Cluster. However in order to set the actions, you must be in control of Terminal Egress (the only L-Cluster gateway, if also having the common Gateway Activation technology, you need also nanites and not an ongoing Tempest crisis). The decisions are at your capital.


Buildable L-Gates:
In order to build L-Gates, you must have the “L-Gate Construction” technology (with prerequisite of the common Gateway Construction) and be in control of Terminal Egress too. However, the L-Gates must be built at a black hole that does not already have an L-Gate built. The visual representation of the two states is now conspicuous like normal gateways. (In fact the vanilla game has already unused/inactive entries for this, as I see now this was used in the first release of 2.1 Niven, if you see old release pictures with blue gates.)

On the plus side, if there is ever a crisis you cannot beat, you now have a safe retreat while the galaxy burns behind you. (I recommend getting the Gigastructural Engineering mod to build all that population space you're going to need for all those refugees or just your pops one or the other.)

For Nanite technologies, weapons, ships, bombing, terraforming and of course a more dangerous Gray Tempest, subscribe to A Deadly Tempest.


This mod should be savegame compatible.
Currently, if you remove this mod on an ongoing game with this mod started – before the L-Cluster was opened – this can lead to inoperable deactivated L-Gates (if you don't use A Deadly Tempest instead). Maybe I'll fix this.
⠀● Inbuilt compatibility for L-Cluster Plus

Questionable Planning
⠀● L-Gate Construction not only on black holes?
⠀● Casus Belli for controlling all L-Gates (L-Cluster closed) (done)
⠀● Removing the features in the main mod A Deadly Tempest, so this should be a fully separated addon?

The main credit goes to Spartan878, who initiated this mod (and I updated it with permission).
If you want an earlier legacy version: L-Cluster Access 2.3

i tried using this and l cluster+ and annexed the empire that spawned in the cluster, now i have the gateway activation and l cluster access techs but it says "cant set l cluster policy" and wont let me close them

Fixed! (until update of the Merger of Rules, it can't be used)

@FirePrince: Yeah, tested it just now and the result is the same.

I have activated the L-gates prior to getting this mod. I can't close them. I control the entire L gate cluster. so I am not sure what I am doing wrong. No decision can be seen in my capital. or anywhere else for that matter.

@Ravielsk: THX for report, can you try the Merger of Rules!?

For some reason this mod in combination with Gigastructural engineering causes the AI to stop surveying. This seems to happen regardless of load order.

naught me
it costs minor artifacts to close and open so its a option in the relics tab

Question on how do you close the L cluster gate. I researched the tech yet no where is it showing I can close it just the normal L gate gui. Am i stupid because it is somewhere else or is it a glitch

This is always a necessary mod for my list.

I have run into one issue, using Giga and the EHOF, I had two blackholes spawn in the cohesive cluster with deactivated l-gates that cannot be activated. I had already opened and colonized the cluster. I tried removing the l-gates [effect remove_megastructure = this] so I could rebuild them, but I can't seem to remove whatever flag is keeping me from doing so. The black holes don't have the "has_megastructure" flag, they have a "cant_build_here" flag which I am assuming is from Gigastructures? Not the end of the world, I figure it might be due to how the spawning works for the cohesive worlds, but if you have any ideas, I'm all ears.
