Diverse Specials and Massive Planets v2.5

Description
This is the original stand-alone release, no other mods are required for this version.

Over 100 custom specials can now appear on planets during galaxy generation. Specials range from simple things like "Merchant Traders" to the more rare and desirable "Orion Artifacts". Some of these are inspired from Master of Orion 2 and 3, some are from other Universes which I felt like adding into this one, and some are completely original.

A few of my favorites include:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fresh Water: Many abundant natural Aquifers exist in a very porous layer of the crust on this planet's surface, granting access to nearly limitless fresh water. *Allows construction of Deep Space Industries

Population Growth +5%
Food +2


Exotic Plants: This region has an unusual amount of rare plants useful in various medical treatments.

Research +5
Population Growth +25%


Orion Artifacts: Remnants of ancient Orion technology found on this planet provides a massive Research bonus.

Research +10


Latinum Mines: Latinum operations harvest the mineral in liquid form and suspend it in Gold bars for shipment.

Credits +12
Production +3

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*These specials are weighted to change the state of the galaxy, some races will simply be in a better position as Biome and chance dictate. So build a few extra scouts and look around!

*Not all the specials are good. As in reality, there will likely be a few phenomena to avoid as well!

Happy Anniversary Master of Orion, Conquer the Stars!

Wonderful mod and such an interesting mix of good and bad planets now. I love how with this mod some planets I would ignore for being too toxic or poor in mineral I go for. While some that are rich and Terran I now hesitate. Thank you so much for this mod. It really makes the game more interesting and fun.

I had a colony with Botanical Plains and it was one of the first colonized. It was arid so that should be at least decent population growth but it was one of the slowest growing of my first colonies. It did have low gravity, but the special resource said it would add to pop growth, so that should balance it out. Instead it was one of my slowest growing colonies. You might want to look into this.

Also noticed that the production choice of "pollution clean up" is not available with the diverse specials mod loaded.

I'm enjoying revisiting this game and playing with your (and others) mods. I have the 5X ultimate balance mod, the UCP, 5x UCP, Lots of Planets, and Diverse Specials and Massive planets activated at the moment. I have noticed that the advanced toxic condenser is not showing up as buildable, although i have built the regular toxic condensers already. I played a game before without the diverse specials mod active and it was available to build.

I wonder what is causing the issue between these mods.

Thanks for your work on these mods though!

@Morpheus So I see. Subscribed! Thanks!

@thainion FYI there is a version of this mod with no Massive planets if you hadn't seen yet!

Hey, I appreciate the thought anyway @Morpheus. Life goes on. Thanks for creating this mod just the same!

Thank you!

@MightyMouse I was worried I had too many versions, haha. That is simple enough I can set that up this weekend for you.

I would love to see a version of this without the massive planets that doesn't require the 5X rebalance mod.
