A mod about space, exploration, and resources

MileStones:

Roadmap:

Current Features:

• Rockets can be built from almost any block
• Space stations orbiting any planet/moon
• Warpships to take players between said planets
• planet selection guidance
• Basic machinery (to be redone at future date)
• Generates a fixed number of planets in a single solar system
• fuel mechanics
• Gas system (O2)
• Satellites
• Data collection of planets (not currently fully featured)
• Support for IC2 and RF
• planets can be generated from XML
• Gravity generators for space stations
• stations with day/night cycles
• more Satellites
  • mining Satellite (ish, is spacestation bound)
  • energy collection satellite
  • ore scanning satallite
• collection of materials from asteroids
• asteroids
  • automated harvesting
  • research system
    • random asteroid parameters ( size, composition, location (polar coords)
    • research can be done to determine properties

Future Features:

• Other engine types for space ships(ion/plasma)
• Terraforming
• Orbital factories
• rovers (maybe? need a use)
• collection of materials from gas giants
• docking (maybe..)
• planetary mapping system (feasible?)
• more Satellites
  • Weather control satellite
  • mapping satellite (feasible?)
• clean rooms
• research tree (possible use for planetary data, hire villagers as scientists for you lab!)
• supports for more power systems
• remove RF dependance
• planets actually moving in their orbits
• Railguns to transfer goods between planets and stations
• stations can be positioned over certain locations on planets
• colony management system (seed testificates throughout the universe?)
• config for mapping dims added by other mods to planets
• Gravity generators for local areas on planets
• ground based telescopes - water detectors (increases info on %dry) space only - chemical detectors (increases chance of finding planets rich in certain ores) space only - atmospheric detectors (increases info on pressure; when combined with chemical can detect if planet has harvestable/hazardous gasses) ground and space - temperature detector (increases info on planetary temperature) space only - star scanner (increases the likelyhood of finding planets orbiting a star; higher level allows for smaller planets) ground and space
• asteroids
  • manual harvesting
  • research system
    • player can select as a destination
      • temporary dim in created, destroyed when last player leaves
• Hardmode
  • must protect space stations from meteors
  • rockets require life support
  • space ships require statis chamber and must be provided with food (unless warp) - tranz9999
  • heat system for machines and plasma engine
