Features
Inspired by the original Asteroid Belt mod, using a completely rewritten implementation, heavily relying on the Factorio Standard Library and PlanetsLib, with several of the fixes from Redrawn Space Compatibility integrated.
Divides the inner and outer planets based on distance from the sun, using the asteroid belt graphic from Starmap Background as a dividing line. It removes any and all connections between the inner and outer planets, forcing all connections to route through the Asteroid Belt inner edge -> Asteroid Belt outer edge connection (a dangerous path which contains big, aquilo-tier asteroids)
Compatibility
It should work entirely standalone, without any other mods, but certain configurations cause issues that cannot be solved without Redrawn Space Compatibility to fix them (this is because it is allowed to run on top of most other mods).
Specific problematic situations generally involve Redrawn Space Connections, Outer Rim, and having some of the below settings enabled. It is generally recommended to use Redrawn Space Compatibility to fix all issues that may be discovered.
Settings
- Moves Maraxsis from the inner planets to the outer planets. Disabled by default.
Optionally nerfs solar power on Maraxsis. - Moves Cubium from the inner planets to the outer planets. Enabled by default.
Optionally sets Cubium to be a moon of Vesta.
Adds Orbital Catapult links when the mod is enabled
