Cryoflora World + new buildings update!

Ok! This month I've added the Cryoflora World, a new rare tundra world that replaces the Rogue World... which has moved to the Exotics Sub mod and gotten a facelift!

This is part of a bigger idea about moving the rare worlds around a bit. Expect a wet tidally locked and a dry and cold super-earths in the future, maybe even a whole suite of cave worlds.

I have a few new artworks I haven't gotten a chance to get to, so expect more planets in August!

As always, thank you so muc...

Zro Stripmine!

Is now live! As always feedback is welcome.  There are two new arts compelted and I will be posting them as I finish them.

A new rare Tundra - Cryoflora and Exotic - Hycean

Necro Worlds!

This is the first of three planets coming out with this month's update!  Basically like hive worlds for necro races, plus a special planet cracker that turns all organics into zombies!

I'll post the new planets as they are finished!

Outback Facelift

This month is an update to the Outback art!  This time working on old art has been great, its given me some time to flesh out all the Unique Worlds and start the big rework on the Exotics, which will be coming in the next update!

Starting next month I will be getting back into new planets.  The first one on my list is a Necro World, a special tomb world for necro races.  Then a new Unique World, the Zro World (think 2022-04-23 20:13:39 +0000 UTC View Post

Eco-City Art!

With the changes coming to Arcs, I've had to redo them, so what not add some art to make certain arcs feel more unique! This is the Eco-Arcology background, finally you can see the utopian solar punk arc you've always wanted.

There will be a big change coming to the way Capital Arcs work as well, you will now be able to place a capital/palace on any arcology (Regular, Eco, Military or Corpo if you are a MegaCorp).  I have also added a full suite of Necro Arcs.

I'll post more ...

Alternative Gaia Worlds

This month we've been working of a few alternative Gaia Worlds.  They will be very similar to regular gaias and all races can make all of them, they will mostly be for graphic diversity.  But the AI will choose the gaia world based on their habitability.

Aiming to have the update out sometime this upcoming weekend!

Updated Art for Geothermal + Lake!

Hope everyone is staying safe and warm this holidays! While the next update has a bunch of goodies and be out some time after Christmas, the main art piece was an update to the Geothermal and Lake World!

Next month with be two brand new Gaia World (Dry + Cold) versions!

Happy Holidays and New Years.  Thank you for all of your continued support!

Just in time for the Aquatics DLC!  Enjoy!

Oct Update Out + Updated Mycelium World!

This is the redo of the Mycelium World, to make it look a bit more colder. The old art will be coming back in the future as a new wet world!

This coming month's I'm really gonna focus on fleshing out some more Aquatic stuff in prep for the Aquatic DLC!

Tepui World Mk3!

I've always struggled getting this one to where I've wanted it, but I have to admit,  I'm really happy with out it turned out!

The next update should be coming out on Wednesday!

Reef World!

A brand new rare ocean world, just in time for the Aquatics DLC!

This will replace Aquatic as a rare ocean world and the Aquatic world will become something... more. Details will come soon.

As always thank you for your patronage!

Crystal Rework!

New Art, new buildings, new edicts, new techs and a new event chain! Really happy the way this reworked turned out in all aspects! As always let me know what you think of the changes.

Also stay tuned for this month! Thanks to everyone donations we should have 2-3 planets coming this month as long as I have the time to finish them!

The Crucible Awaits

The brand new Unique world is done! The Crucible awaits to fuel your galactic dreams of domination! I don't want to give too much away, but there is plenty you can figure out from the demo here!

I'll have this update out within 24 hours! Have a great weekend everyone.

Fog World

Hope everyone had an amazing summer! Just in time for some fall weather I give you the newest regular oceanic world, the Fog world!

Just putting the finishing touches on a new Unique World which will be out with this world with the next update, but I'll be posting the demo in a few days!

As always thanks for your support and head over the discord to chat about your planet ideas! https://discord.gg/qHuWBhaZpg

Coastal (Desert) World!

This month's new regular planet.  Based on the coastal deserts of Western Africa and Namibia, this world has deep cold oceans that cause a lot of fog and haze, but with very little rainfall.

Hoping to have this out with some tweaks to some older material, some new mechanics for exotic habitats on unique worlds and if I have time, aquatic habitat art and a rework to the graveyard world.

I've also started a Disco...

Basalt World

A new cold tundra world incoming, the Basalt World.  Based of the Eldhraun lava fields at Laki in Iceland, this frozen planet is covered in basalt fields and thick moss.

Also if anyone is interested I have started a discord server for PD, and if you are a patron there is a special section for you. If you join the server feel free to send me a message if you are a patron and I will give you access to the special a...

New Heights for the Floating World

Going all the way to the beginning.  The Floating world was the first artwork we ever did and it's nice to have the time to go back and give it a facelift.

I also redid the techs, buildings, resource, edicts and events to better match the changes in Stellaris since I first made this planet more than a few years ago.  I hope you enjoy it!

Next week I should have a new normal planet as well, a tundra world based on the Eldhraun lava field of Iceland.

Badlands!

A new Arid Regular World, the Badlands World.

All of the things I've posted in the last while will be coming when the 3.0.3 beta is closed and will included a bunch of little changes and balance tweaks including update shroud arcs and regular arcs.

Cenote World!

Sinkholes and underground rivers snake below the surface of this world. Regular Tropical Type.

We've got one more coming up next weekend and all of this will be coming out when the 3.0.3 beta is complete!

All that Glitters is Gold!

New Arcology for the next update, a special one for Megacorps.  Very much focused on Trade, Research and Unity.

Should have the art for a new one done in the next days, Tropical Normal the 'Cenote World'

The Lichen Forest

Here is the new rare tundra world, the Lichen World; a world of rich giant lichen forests!

This will be coming out with the  update next week as long with some rebalancing and a bunch of great little features for planetary habitats.

Water in the Desert!

This is the newest rare Desert World the Aquifer World, a world of bone white dry dunes, endless lagoons and underwater rivers.  With plenty of food growing and unique research opportunities.  

Update is still coming April 15th plus, but with all the prework I've done and information Paradox has released I think I'm gonna have everything updated on the day of or day after, and hopefully with April's planets as well.

The Future of Arcologies.

So with the addition of the Capital/Palace arc this means that I'll have two arcs with Bureaucratic Arcologies and also there is now room for a 5th district and I wanted to get a feel of what people would like to see in the mod.  Feel free to add any other ideas as comments.

Thanks for your help everyone. Also forgot to leave an option for No change, feel free to post that as a comment.

Capitals for Everyone!

Rule the Galaxy in comfort.

Here is the complete set of all the new Capital/Palace Arcologies, depending on your Empire.  This will be released with the next update after Nemesis drops.

As a little bonus, there will a special Civic being released to go along the Palace arc for Imperial/Spiritualist Empires, special jobs/buildings that will allow you to become an inquisition to crush all Heresy in your empire.

Should have a new rare planet to show off soon!

Palace Arcology!

Just in time for Nemesis, give your intergalactic empire the capital is deserves!

Has Housing, Bureaucratic, Military Support and Leisure Districts.

It has a special building that gives you access to strong leadership roles depending on your government type, but is geared towards Empires, Dictators and Monarchies. 

This is the first in a pair of planets, the other being the Capital Arcology which will focus on more Democratic and Oligarch empires.

Lanthanide World!

New rare alpine world with high levels of rare earth metals and magnetic activity, should have this update out in a day or two!

Next month I'll be doing a Palace Arcology (works with Nemesis) and a new rare Desert Planet.

New Optional Ringworld Art

A Patron request! A custom more artificial look for the ringworlds.  This is it's own submod so it's your choice if it's something you want to see in your game.

Next week we should have our new rare cold Alpine world: Lanthanide World

Shrouded Arcology!

This is more for character/fun, but I've added a Shrouded Arcology, which replaces the Leisure District with a Temple district that changes depending on your Patron.

I've also added support for a shrouded Earth, and shrouded versions of the Eco-Arcology and the Fortress Arcology, although all three of those are visual only/skins.

Should have the update out later this evening.

This month will bring a new Sub-Mod which is about ringworlds and a new rare cold world - Lanthanide...

The Seasons of Venus

This month we have done a very special set of artwork for Venus.  Just like my Mars, this planet will have these portraits depending on if you terraform it to any regular class and will have its own Eco-City, Fortress Arc and Gaia Version.

Just finishing up a few things but should have this update out next week. 

I hope everyone is having a half decent star to their year!

Dune Forest

This is a world I've always wanted to do!  Based on the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area this world is a planet of dunes and forests.

Fun Little Fact; this area, in part, fascinated and inspired Frank Hurbert, which lead to him writing Dune.

Also if someone has a better name for this, please suggest it.
