2.2 Stellar energy

****Made some changes after having done a full playthrough. New values at the bottom.****

First of all, shout out to ShadowDragon8685 who created the original Stellar Energy mod which very obviously inspired this one.

Now, since that mod no longer works and Shadow said he doesn't play anymore, I've looked around trying to make a new ish version of it. So here it is.

To me, it makes perfect sense that a spacefaring empire should know the ins and outs of solar panels. So, now all stars (probably) will give out energy to various degrees.

Stars will give out anywhere between 2 to 5 energy. 2 being way more likely than 5. Example, out of 10 systems i surveyed, including a trinary star system, I got one that had 4 energy, three that had 3 energy and the rest had two. 5 is very lucky so you won't see it often. If my math is right, 5 is 50 times less likely to happen than 2.

Now, this is generated at the start of the game, if i'm not mistaken, so a new game is necessary. And since it's the stars that are modded, the AI empires get the extra energy too.

Be aware that I haven't played a full game with this mod so I have no idea if it's unbalanced or not. I would guess that early game it helps a lot more than late game, but I'm not 100% sure.

Feel free to leave comments on what you think about this tiny mod.

And I've no idea how to make this compatible with mods like Real Space or such. So if anyone wants to make compatibility versions, go ahead.

P.S: I play on 2.2.3 but I don't think it will cause a problem for anyone not on the beta. Mod is very simple.

P.S.S: I'm a trucker, so if you ask a question, be patient as I'm gone multiple days per week.

New Values as of Jan 14:
K-M-M giant stars can have 2 or 3 energy. They are the dimmest types of stars of the bunch.
F-G stars can have 3 or 4 energy. The sun is a G star so bright but not the brightest.
A-B stars can have 4 or 5 energy. They can be upwards of 20000 times more luminous than the sun. So yeah, energy aplenty.
T stars are new stars that emit more light now than when they'll stabilize into their main sequence, if I understood what I read right. So I put them like the A-B stars, so 4 or 5 energy too.
