A quick cross-compatibility addon meant for Aegis & Bellicos (A&B) and Metal and Stars (M&S), extended to work with other exoplanetary system mods.
It simply fuses the stargates near Calidus added by mods into a single one.
- If Aegis & Bellicos is present, it will use its Calidus stargate. If not, the mod will make its own version of it, which will unlock with other mods' research.
If a fork of Metal and Stars is present:
- The stargate near Calidus added by M&S (named "Senestella stargate") is hidden and its space connections are removed.
- The Calidus stargate added by A&B (or this mod) is connected to the Senestella stargate, allowing direct travel between the various systems from the same location near Nauvis. Its description is changed to reflect that.
- The Calidus stargate is also unlocked with Planet discovery shipyard (M&S), ensuring access to the Senestella planetary system when researched.
- Additionally, the stargate near Senestella is renamed "Senestella stargate". Its sprite and description are changed both to match the other stargates and avoid confusion.
If a fork of Dea Dia System is present:
- The Calidus stargate is connected to the Dea Dia system edge, allowing direct travel between the various systems from the same location near Nauvis. Its description is changed to reflect that.
- The Calidus stargate is also unlocked with Dea Dia system discovery (DD), ensuring access to the Dea Dia system when researched.
- Additionally, the "Dea Dia system edge" space location is renamed "Dea Dia stargate". Its sprite and description are changed both to match the other stargates and avoid confusion.
So far the mod is able to handle combinations of several mods. Current compatibility options include:
- Aegis & Bellicos
- Metal and Stars
- Dea Dia System
I plan on adding more compatibility options as requested, if other star system mods pop up with new stargates.
