Originally a part of Dea Dia, provides a set of common tools and features for factories built on gas giants/high up in atmospheres.

The mechanics it provides:
- build a "cloudscape" based on Maraxsis' water overlay.
- a few built in deocratives
- a system to build floating platforms out of your own entities. (you only provide the entity that the platform has in the center, the rest is managed by this mod)
- a resource type of gaseous surfaces
- a system I dub "integration surface" inspired by freight forwarding dredgers to make building a little different here.

Available documentation in this mod's data.lua and lib.lua files.

Integration surface

Some machines can only be placed on tiles that are a part of larger structure (like a space platform). Designed for the platforms I'm adding to my gas giants, if there is a request I'm willing to make it work on its own.

The system gives you access to the size and center of the surface for a given position. You can build your own mechanics on top of that. It is safe to query the same surface again, the data is cached.
Also has collider rules to control entity placement.

Docs are in /script/integration-system.lua.
