📋 About This Mod
This companion mod for PlanetsLib assigns 'tier values' to planets — rough indicators of where the planet fits in a vanilla-style game of Space Age — for other mods that wish to use this information. PlanetsLib: Tiers is separate to PlanetsLib so that it can be updated independently. You can hold the version of this mod fixed to avoid tier values changing (unless another external mod changes them).
PlanetsLib: Tiers is a companion mod for PlanetsLib that assigns tier values to planets, indicating their progression in a vanilla-style Space Age game. It's designed for other mods to use this information, and it's separate from PlanetsLib for independent updates. With 8,167 endorsements and 37,573 downloads, it's a niche but well-received utility.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny, focused utility that does exactly what it says—no bloat.
- Well-adopted by the community with 8k endorsements and 37k downloads, so it's proven.
- Being separate from PlanetsLib means you can update it without breaking your main mod setup.
⚠️ Cons
- Does nothing on its own—you need other mods to actually use the tier data.
- Requires PlanetsLib as a dependency, so you're adding two mods for a background feature.
- Compatibility risk: if a mod doesn't support PlanetsLib: Tiers, the data is useless.
This is for mod developers or players who use mods that rely on planet tier data to balance progression. If you're a player who just wants to play, you probably won't notice it unless a mod requires it. It's a behind-the-scenes tool, not a gameplay addition.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have PlanetsLib installed first, as this mod won't work without it.
- Check if the mods you're using actually require PlanetsLib: Tiers—if not, you can skip it.
- Since it's a data-only mod, you can add or remove it mid-save without issues, but only if no other mod depends on it.
