Shellworlds

Shellworlds This mod has been merged into Sparble's Stellar Hyperconstructs and therefore won't receive any more updates. Check out the Hyperstructures mod for the newest version! Have you ever wanted to encase your precious planet into something shiny, but an orbital ring wasn't enough? How about you simply build a shell around your whole planet? What does this mod add? This mod adds four new technologies: Shellworlds, Upgraded Shellworlds, Matrioshka Worlds and Pressurized Shellworlds, which allow you to build these. Shellworlds To unlock the Shellworlds Technology, you need to have researched both Anti-Gravity Engineering and Construction Templates. The technology will appear randomly in your engineering research then. A shellworld around your planet will increase its amount of districts by 50% and will grant a minor engineering research boost. If you upgrade your shellworld, which means adding layer upon layer of minerals and soils, your planet will have additional +10 farming and +10 mining districts, as well as +50% housing. To complete your precious, shiny shellworld with optional mineral and soil layers, you need to have researched Planetary Resurfacing as well as Terrestial Sculpting so that the Upgraded Shellworld Technology can appear for your scientists. A shellworld can be constructed like any other megastructure via construction ship on any of your inhabited planets. Matrioshka Worlds After having researched both shellworld technologies, you can get the research option to construct Matrioshka Worlds, aka 2+ shells around a planet. To construct a double Shellworld, simply build it via construction ship -> megastructure around your already existing one. Same goes for triple shells. A double shellworld increases its planet's district capabilities by 150%, with an additional 150% Housing if upgraded. A triple shellworld increases its planet's districts by 300%, +300% Housing if upgraded as well. Gas Giant Shellworlds Having researched the shellworlds techn
