So, there's an issue with this mod when trying to use it to purchase uninhabitable planets. You can set any size you want and pay for it, but your chosen size never gets applied. And somehow, when trying to fix this, I created one hell of a bug that transcends time and space. I'm getting a blank event popup. No title, no description, just the box that lets me press "ok". Which if I press it, it just comes right back up. according to the debug tooltips. It says "planet_builders.104" is the event when I hover on "ok". I have tried replacing the file I edited with a clean copy, I've tried deleting and reinstalling the mod, I've done all that while loading a save file from before I ever changed the file, and it STILL somehow broke. (This is with me playing on version 3.4.5 so I don't think it's an issue with the mod being out of date)

just reposting a newer version of this comment please update this great mod as sadly it outright causes the game to crash on start as of 3.9

Thought would give this a go....but no planet is popping up?

Is it usable on 3.6 or needs to be update for it?

Would you be able to make this independent of the planet builder enclave?

I have a situation with planetbuilders not spawning. Have a debugtool so its not a problem.My empire starts with 5k+ energy income and rarely goes below,playthroughs generally last only 100 years.If you will have an idea what to try for me to reproduce it ill test stuff around.TY for the mod :3

Ooo, neat! :D
Imma give it a try then <3

@Awindai they appear at a random date once an empire reaches more than 1000 energy income or a 30.000 Stockpile. You can also just spawn them with the debugtool (a decision called "smitheis mods Debugmenu")

Hello! Is there a way to make the planetbuilders appear if I want to install this mod on a late save?

Love the mod, but there's a graphical issue with golden planets. The UVs has a visible seam and the normal/bump map has broken as seen in the screenshot below

Does the Mod still work on 3.3?

Ty for the update!

Nice

So, the mod has been updated to the latest version 3.2.*!

@Scott2277 I don't think there is a way of doing that with the current scripting tools provided. I can spawn planets, but not moons. I also can't change which star they orbit.
@Kangarus Done.

I know they are Planet Builders but i wish i could get them to make me moons too.

Planet Builders are good. Is it possible to upgrade to version 3.2

Will this be patched for 3.1? Seems like an interesting mod but I'm holding off until if/when it gets an update.

Any chance you can do asteroid construction too? No real reason... *hides my Gigastructures asteroid cannons*

Thanks for updating!

alright, this mod now works with 3.0. no empty pop ups anymore

oh wow, this is amazing

@ranma100 Thats because I did not update it to 3.0 yet... I will do that eventually

Looks like this mod is causing blank popups with 3.01

Nice.

They mention building a planet in a certain sector of space... no mention of mice though

Amazing. Also: Do they ever mention earth being ordered by mice?

@Phantomcreator42 I mean, not specifically. You can build a new planet and call it earth though.

Question: Is there an option to rebuild earth after using a planet cracker on it? (Since in both the books and the movie earth gets rebuilt)

@rotrules1234 not sure how stable that would be, but I will keep that Suggestion in mind once the next big update hits and i update my mods.

The mod would be much more interesting if there's the option to build a size 1,000 planet. A planet so massive that it could theoretically hold the population of the entire galaxy.

TBH I just think it'll be hillarious when the poor SOB then has to come up with natives for the blueberry planet. Not really expecting you to do it, just was playing the mod and it reminded me of that. Thought it was an interesting analysis when I first read it. No biggie! Thanks for listening to me ramble. Sorry.

P.S. Great mod.

This mod already has a cookie planet, so it feels kinda redundant to add more food planets. The question of how the atmosphere and of a planet like that would look like is a really interesting thought experiment through. I love it when people take dumb questions like that and do some actual scientific theory on it. I will consider it :)

So this is really stupid, but they did an analysis once on what would happen if you made a planet out of blueberries. I'm serious.

...just...

Something to consider.

yeah, the workshop search engine is kinda trash. "planetbuilder" shows up for me, "planet builder" does not lol

i don't know why this mod doesn't come up in the search field when you just type in planetbuilder

That was a minor bug I did not catch, thanks for the report :)

I'm not sure where else to leave this and forgive me if this has already been shared, but I got this from Irony Mod Manager

Error at line: 658 column: 23 file: common\section_templates\section_templates_pb.txt.

I didn't know if this was important or not for y'all, please forgive my ignorance if it's not. Take care!

Right, thanks.

Interesting mod. It seems you've lost the description.

you can go into the edicts tab and select the "smithies debug menu". There you can select the planetbuilders mod and force them to spawn in your empire.

Would there be any sort of console command that can cause this enclave to appear early/ascention perk to let you create your own planets on your own?

@Lord Strahil It will

will this work with 2.7.2 version?

@Terra_1125 do you mean building megastruczures on the built planet? If so, it should work. Maybe I forgot to remove some planetflag, I will take a look at it.

I've been having issues with making size 25 barren world made by this mod work with Giga-stuctures is this intended?

I am not sure if that is possible, but I might take a look at it.

I apologize for my English, this is not my native language.

I love this mod. And I also like symmetry. Please add the ability to launch the construction of several planets in one orbit.

Мне нравится этот мод. И ещё мне нравится симметрия. Пожалуйста добавьте возможность запускать постройку нескольких планет на одной орбите.

I build a gold planet before I realised that you could build planets bigger than 5. I am pretty late in the game so is there a way to replace a gold planet?

@Festivity Alright, I will have to take a look at that then

Even the special planets, like the techno-organic world? I was playing with it last night and didn't get anything besides those three categories you listed.
