Features

Adds settings for each asteroid size, reducing its size to the user-specified level. This maximum size reduction applies before Asteroid Frequency Multiplier, so that the size-based scaling factor applies to the modified asteroid sizes.

Optional Settings

  • Override Existing Asteroid Spawns: Overrides the size of harmful asteroids to the new user-specified size, allowing for size increases instead of just decreases. Disabled by default.
  • Override Asteroids in Space Connections: Additionally reduces the size of harmful asteroids in the routes between affected planets. Interplanetary routes will only be modified if both endpoints of that route have been modified, reducing the asteroid size on that route to the larger of the two endpoints. Disabled by default.

Planet Mod Compatibility

  • As of v1.2.0, should be compatible with any and all planet mods containing asteroids in the format of size-type-asteroid or type-asteroid-chunk
  • As of v1.2.6, should be compatible with any and all planet mods; asteroids that do not match the above format are simply logged and ignored.

Asteroid Mod Compatibility

Tested compatible with the following asteroid mods:

  • Cupric Asteroids - Adds copper asteroids that can also be processed into tungsten and holmium.
  • More Asteroids - Add various asteroids related to planetary resources (uranium around nauvis, tungsten around vulcanus, scrap around fulgora, etc)
  • Asteroid Frequency Multiplier - Add settings to increases/decreases the spawn rate of harmless and harmful asteroids.
    See FAQ's for more detailed info as to how these two mods interact.
