Stellar Energy (Utopia 1.5)

[Update: 21 June 2018]

Shuv1 has tested Stellar Energy, it's still working.

Did you ever find it annoying how stars and gas giants give you a pittance of energy, if that?

I did. Stars are giant balls of fusion, and gas giants are humongous sources of energy in their own right. That's why I made this mod (with a lot of help from AlphaAsh on the Stellaris forums who explained the deposits syntax to me.)

This mod makes stars and gas giants HUMONGOUS sources of energy! Stars will range from 5 energy (common drop for a Red Dwarf) to 14 (Rarest high drop for a B-type.) Gas giants (which the game does not give me sufficient granularity to seperate into Sub-Jovian, Jovian, and Superjovian,) will yield between 2 and 6 energy, heavily weighted towards 4.

This mod does not replace any files! As such, it should be fully compatible with anything else. However, because it does not replace 00_deposits.txt, there is a chance that the original deposits will come up instead of a Stellar Energy deposit. Just assume in such cases that environmental factors unique to the star in question either prevented energy harvesting, greatly cut down on energy harvesting, or made the science too good to pass up for mere energy harvesting.

Do beware: especially in the early game, it will be very easy to ignore ground-based energy collectors in favor of entirely relying on stellar energy. This is perfectly valid, right up until some mean old mother-hubbard sails into your space with a raiding fleet and starts blowing your massive solar panel networks out of stars' orbits. I leave it to you to decide how (or if) to protect your stellar energy resources.

In general:
EVERY Gas Giant now yields 1 Terraforming Gas.
Gas Giants which yield Lythuric gas are 1/2 as likely as a regular Stellar Energy Deposit, if you're in the Lythuric Cluster. Otherwise you won't get any.
Satramene deposits are 1/10th as likely as a normal gas giant if they're orbiting a Class G, K, or F star; otherwise, they are 1/40th as likely.
Zro deposits are 1//2 as likely as a regular Stellar Energy deposit, if you're in a Nebula. Otherwise, you won't get any.

Every Pulsar and Neutron Star yields Neutronium. Every Black Hole yields Dark Matter. (Pulsars are Neutron Stars that are just spinning with exceptional rapidity.)


READ BEFORE COMMENTING:
I will not be entertaining any suggestions to "tone down" or nerf this mod. I'm getting sick of seeing them, and sick of responding to them.

Such comments are subject to summary deletion without warning or explaination. This goes double for rude comments that just say "it's unbalanced" or "overpowered," or those which mention the thief's mod. If you think it's too much, feel free not to use it, or to come up with your own solution. I mod to please myself first and foremost. If you like my mod, well and good. If you don't, I'm sorry, but I made it for me, not you.

If you want to make your own along these lines, feel free to poke around in the mod file and figure out how I did what I did, but do not steal my mod to do so.

If you wish to open up my mod to see how I made my mod to get an idea for how to make yours, you are more than welcome to do so; reverse-engineering is a right enshrined in law.
