the remove way for tiles its cause if i add it in the xml , the game cant render the Edge Graphic Data , so that the only reason this mod remove the ground by "space tile" but is the same space of the original game just with some extra properties for the build menu , time to build and tag for build

@The Devout , its the game version , my mod extend the properties of existing tiles , for example the xml are defnied already , i just add some description and add some tags like where you can find the tile for build , cost /materials , tech requeriments ,icons, and in what kind of tag can build , like "voidSpace" and "platforms" , but the limitation is the way how you can remove it, in that way i only can reemplace with space

im curious, is the space tile its own version of the in game space tile?
like how in the tilled soil mod it adds its own version of normal soil?
or does it replace the select tile with the in game tile for space?

@ThroatGOAT Thanks for this, I didn't realize anything but the gravship hull tile was airtight until reading your comment.

could you perchance add some sort of scanner that would give you a "suitable platform location" quest or something to spawn an empty space tile? :3
horologium 16 Jul @ 1:14pm 
this looks really cool. excited to try it on my next run

@Alpharius mmmm you need build with other kind of floor , at the moment my mod expand properties of already exist platforms , i mean , this is not a copy of the original platform , its the same entity with additional properties.

It works as you would normally remove the vacuum of space with other floors and walls of steel, you just build these platforms for the exterior or the edges to give a nicer design to the orbital bases.
RashoMcree  [author] 16 Jul @ 8:30am 
@Redneck Princess Mmmm, you need a path for the pawns. In theory, you can build it from your ship or make sure there's a walkable path to the place where you want to construct.
ThroatGOAT 16 Jul @ 5:53am 
@Alpharius Metal is vacuum sealed.
Alpharius 16 Jul @ 1:22am 
question
is there anyway to vacuum seal things you build on orbital platforms, or do your colonists to be in their grav suits at all times
immortalartisan 15 Jul @ 10:12pm 
I mean there isnt really ANY reason to build this over heavy bridges aside from looks... SO I AM ABSOLUTELY INSTALLING THIS
Redneck Princess 15 Jul @ 9:30pm 
Do you have to build from an asteroid?
UltraEmailMan 15 Jul @ 6:27pm 
@MadMan
Yes, but it looks different. Like I said, it's doable in dev mode, but it would be handy to be able to have my pawns be able to do it.

@RashoMcree
Sweet. I'm wanting to do an asteroid based pirate/smuggler hideaway for my next Odyssey playthrough, and that would be just perfect for it.
Myphicbowser 15 Jul @ 6:25pm 
Something like this should REALLY be Vanilla TBH
RashoMcree  [author] 15 Jul @ 6:24pm 
@UltraEmailMan hi , yes i was checking the game files to make an asteroid ground and can remove it. Maybe i will do it as different mod
MadMan 15 Jul @ 6:15pm 
@UltraEmailMan

Can't you use the Heavy platform to fill in the hole's?
UltraEmailMan 15 Jul @ 6:08pm 
Would you be able to add the ability to build asteroid ground? Maybe have it cost like 1-2 vacstone chunks. Would be handy to be able to fix gaps in an asteroid without having to go into dev mode.
mo 15 Jul @ 4:20pm 
okay, thank you
RashoMcree  [author] 15 Jul @ 4:20pm 
Now its more cheaper build this platforms
mo 15 Jul @ 3:47pm 
You can use 5 plasteel and 20 steel tubes
RashoMcree  [author] 15 Jul @ 3:45pm 
@mo you think its a better idea just change it for some steel ? i mean to 20 steel , cause form me worth it if i can make a styled base with that tiles but let me check that
mo 15 Jul @ 3:40pm 
In space, you can build heavy bridges at the cost of only 12 pieces of steel. 5x Gravlite Panels for a different look. It's too expensive.
RashoMcree  [author] 15 Jul @ 3:12pm 
@SpiroTom , ty , i will fixed that soon
SpiroTom 15 Jul @ 3:09pm 
don't know if it has been patched with recent hotfix but some text when clicking on the information button of void is in espanol even with english language
RashoMcree  [author] 15 Jul @ 2:30pm 
UPDATE: The issue with map value has already been fixed. You can now play without any problems. if you find a bug or some kind of error , report it here

RashoMcree  [author] 15 Jul @ 1:00pm 
@dDemonX3 Really ? i will check that to fix the values
WAffel_TRager 15 Jul @ 12:50pm 
It was not in base dlc
贺兰慕之 15 Jul @ 5:32am 
nice!:exrankex:
Ninjaxas 15 Jul @ 3:37am 
Buildable space tile, wow 😂😁
James009 14 Jul @ 8:39pm 
Space stations soon!
Randall Boggs 14 Jul @ 8:17pm 
Oh awesome, thanks.

I spent hours trying to figure out how to make them removable and keep their linked textures, it was driving me mad.
RashoMcree  [author] 14 Jul @ 8:05pm 
@lexator maybe i will add a gravstone platform / floor and the funtion of parking on the empty zones in theory isn't be hard to do that
RashoMcree  [author] 14 Jul @ 8:04pm 
@Lexator , no , you still need it to park in a platform but maybe could be a good idea let you park in the "space tiles" more cause the intention of this mod is let you make your base in the space like you want , but you can remove the platform tiles around your ship to have a empty region (space zone / empty tile)
Lexator 14 Jul @ 7:55pm 
Does this let your gravship "park" in a new empty region in orbit, or you still have to go in a station or asteroid? Nice work either way
lucky_one 🍀 14 Jul @ 7:16pm 
This looks lovely, thanks!
hagnat 14 Jul @ 3:33pm 
awesome to have a mod that allow me to create Orbital Platform tiles.
i was really happy using Heavy Bridges for that, until the Graship took the bridges with itself when i launched it!
i was using the debug tool to create 'em, just so i could have a proper berth for my gravship.
RashoMcree  [author] 14 Jul @ 3:24pm 
Base foundations can't be removed, or they can be built on. My mod is designed to do just that, adding both platforms (human and mechanoid).

I was also looking into the option to remove asteroid floors. I think I'll update that tomorrow.
StockSounds 14 Jul @ 3:21pm 
Eh, I don't get it, but I haven't even been to space with the DLC yet.
RashoMcree  [author] 14 Jul @ 3:19pm 
The only advantage would be to lay foundations for the game's orbital platforms and be able to remove them to make a larger base in space (in case you're short of space) or smaller by removing certain sections for "space"
RashoMcree  [author] 14 Jul @ 3:17pm 
It's funny because I was going to release it yesterday, but because of work I was designing a better presentation for the mod (the cover images).
StockSounds 14 Jul @ 3:16pm 
What advantage do these provide above Gravship Substructure, exactly? Can you build airtight gravship hull on top of them?
RashoMcree  [author] 14 Jul @ 3:13pm 
Really ???!! could you show me the mod ? :(
