Solar System Glize


A mod for combining three planetary mods. The code was based on the Solar Systems mod by TheTwonky. The first planet is Moshine by snouz. The second planet is Corrundum by AnotherZach. The third planet, as a satellite, is Cerys by thesixthroc. For more information or to support the mods you are interested in, please visit their pages and, if possible, contribute financially.

i Distances and Misc.

I run with a lot of modded planets and things like Redrawn space connections. I'm curious what the intended distance from the Glize system back to the home system is supposed to be. Right now the longest leg of the journey, from my outermost planet (Maraxsis) to the edge of the glize system is about 1/4 the length to the shattered planet. Unsure if that is intended or not, I am aware I am running quite a lot of mods that might contribute to this. However it is not exactly a bad situation if I'm being honest. The long distance coupled with the manageable medium asteroid tier and density lends to build designs that are slightly different from some other routes I run. I found that the platform design I had been using quite handily for all my mid tier planet deliveries actually couldn't keep up ammo production over the long haul trip to glize. It was a fun situation to discover and manage that on the fly during the long but somewhat low stakes journey.

If the intended distance is not supposed to be that long though it might be worth considering going the route I've seen a few other solar system mods do where they create some sort of connection point stargate or something similar with fixed distances to a cousin stargate in the mod system. It would work but would remove some of the friction, for better or ill. You could even create some kind of compromise, with a manual long distance route is how you initially have to get to the system but with a later high tier discovery you find a wormhole or whatever kind of shortcut connection. Integrating that with Moshine's computer stuff might fit well.

Final thought is wondering if there is any info on the planet Cerys is orbiting? It's not one of the modded planets so I assume it's from this but nothing is mentioned on it.

While the planet around Cerys is still in development because it is currently a gas giant, but without landing, when the time comes, I will start developing a mod for a hyperdrive that will transport the platform into hyperspace, like in Stargate. It will accelerate the platform to 50,000 km/s and turn off asteroid spawning, but it consumes a large amount of energy and will not work without engines. It is possible that it will be like a thruster or entity.
