i [Implemented] No setting to affect only planet orbits

6 days ago

It is not possible with the mod to remove asteroids from planet orbits, instead removing medium or large asteroids removes them entirely. I just want to make the planet orbit safe for a shipyard after the 2.1 changes.

That.. is a really good point. I originally made this super early during Space Age's release, where I just wanted the dangerous asteroids gone entirely, and then eventually stopped using it myself. I only cared about making sure that it worked when updating it to 2.1

It makes so much more sense to only affect planet orbits directly, and not the routes in between (though I left it in as a setting, in case anybody preferred it that way, disabled by default). Implemented in v1.3.1

thank you for the quick response and update! I looked at the previous changelogs and saw you made the choice to remove most customizations due to compatibility issues with planet mods, which is entirely reasonable but the mod description still says the options are still there, maybe you would wish to update it to reflect the current state as I was genuinely confused when I installed the mod and looked for the relevant settings.

Yeah, having settings for each planet on an individual level was just too time-consuming, and very quickly bloated the settings menu from my testing. Updated the mod description and info page on the mod portal to reflect the current settings (at least the one in-game had already been updated before)
