Organized Solar System

Spatially organizes the positions of planets by 'tier', left-to-right across the screen, making it easier for modded planets to indicate where they fit in the Space Age gameplay progression.

The tier is a simple number, running from 0 (north of the star) anticlockwise to 6 (north-north-east). It is trivially easy for modders to set their planet’s tier by including a tier field on the planet prototype. Mods without a tier appear vertically below the star. We also maintain a list of tier fallbacks for mods that have not set a tier value.

This mod does not change the radial distance of planets, only their angle around the star.

Tier meanings

• Tier -1: Planet remains in its original location
• Tier 0: Pre-Nauvis
• Tier 1: Nauvis & friends
• Tier 2: First steps from Nauvis
• Tier 3: Intermediate planets that may reward preparation
• Tier 4: More involved planets that may depend on earlier progress
• Tier 5: Aquilo and the vanilla endgame
• Tier 6: Post-endgame planets and other oddities
