Military Station Return

Military Station Return add back Defense Station and Fortress that no longer available after 2.0

Free-placeable defensive platforms :
- You can now place military platforms everywhere and as many as you want!!!
- Unlock by research "Standalone defence platform"
- Build it by select them in megastructure construction menu


Tech :
- Deep Space Stations : available after research Starhold, unlock Defense Station
- Deep Space installations : available after research Star Fortress, unlock Fortress

Buildings :
- Defense Station : roughly 1k fleet power, 4 sections, same template choices as Defense Platform
- Fortress : around 4k fleet power, 8 sections (4*2), have more heavily armed templates but less choices available


- This mod should work with game version 2.7+ unless vanilla code structure is changed
- This mod does not modify any vanilla files even thought some parts of this mod can still be found in vanilla code
- This mod is not compatible with achievements
- Both Defense Station and Fortress have auto-generated design, however because they are features no longer present in vanilla game, they won't have any class-name attached and random class-name generation doesn't work on them unless you are running namelist mod that support older ship namings
- Due to how Stellaris game mechanism works, it's suggest to only have one design of each types of standalone defensive platform in existance, since it will randomly pick a design if more than one design exists
- Since Stellaris 2.0 we are no longer be able to place megastructures anywhere, I have settled for gateway-like placement+planetary placement for now

- Mods that add more military platform sections may not work with things other than vanilla defense platform, this includes all standalone platforms
- Even though you are not supposed to be able to move defense platform, AI seems to be able to move them somehow
- Some ship packs, especially those added after Stellaris 2.0, may not have proper model and texture for defense station and fortress, and some older ship packs that still have models may not load them, you may get a box with turrets sticking out of it, but if should still work

- Making your own design of standalone platforms and delete pre-generated ones have the problem of system generate another one everytime a new weapon/component is researched, you can edit "\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\281990\1459362790\common\ship_sizes\mil_stations.txt", replacing all "auto_upgrade = yes" with "auto_upgrade = no" if you find it annoying, however all standalone platforms may not able to upgrade with this change
