+ Stellar Catalyst

Stellar Catalyst A companion mod for Real Space This mod introduces a minor megastructure that can be built by any empire that researches the appropriate technology. The stellar catalyst triggers fusion in a Y or P class dwarf, the brown-dwarves - "failed" stars which didn't accumulate enough mas to ignite and produces some energy like a cheaper, more restricted dyson sphere. FAQ: "Will you make a standalone version". If by standalone version you mean either A: Without utopia DLC or B: Without need for realspace the answer is no. A: Can't make it without utopia due to the assets from the dyson sphere. B: Without realspace there'd be no Y or T class dwarves to build the machine on. Being able to build them on any gas giant loses the point and I don't feel like mantaining a fork of realspace just for the dwarf stars. Contents: Technology: Stellar Catalyst: Available after Quantum Energy States and Deep Space Installations as a rare particle physics technology. Megastructure Stellar Catalyst Proper: A multi-tier installation with model based on the dyson sphere. Stage 1: Construction Platform Cost: 10000 minerals + 100 influence. Build time: 900 Days. Maintenance: 5 energy Stage 2: Superstructure Cost: 15000 minerals Build time: 1800 days Maintenance 10 energy Stage 3: Complete superstructure Cost: 15000 minerals Build time: 1800 days Maintenance 25 energy Stage 4: Accretion Cost: 10000 minerals Build time 1800 days Maintenance: 50 energy. 10 minerals. Stage 4: Compression Cost: 10000 minerals Build time 1800 days Maintenance: 100 energy. 10 minerals. Stage 5: Ignition Cost: 20000 energy. Build time20 days Income: 300 energy + 20 physics. The income is almost equal to a full dyson sphere, but I based my balance on Improved Megastructures which makes megastructures more meaningful given the time and resource investment. Its one-fourth of a full dyson sphere (1200 energy). It's simple enough to edit the file yourself to change the output to an appropriate balance. Patche
