[0.97a] Grand.Colonies 2.0.e - More Building Slots (2024)

I'd like to thank Lukas04 for his implementation of the scroll bar.

Save Compatible

Pairs well with Industrial.Evolution

This mod allows you to build more buildings on a colony by adding a scroll bar to the "buildings" screen. You can build more than 12 buildings by installing this mod. The Mod uncaps the amount of structures you can add to a planet. It does not not change the industry limits.

It has two modes: Scrolling (default) and Pages (legacy).

With the base settings, there is a 10% compounding upkeep penalty for every building above 12 - this can be adjusted or disabled, check the FAQ.

To install the mod, simply download the .zip file from the link above, unzip it in your Starsector mods directory, and enable it in the launcher.

{Default} FAQ

How does this work?

The mod adds a scrollbar to the industry screen. When you get to the last row, it'll be available to scroll down. Simple as!

What does "Cramped Infrastructure" do?

If you build more than 12 buildings in a colony, you will get an upkeep penalty. "Cramped Infrastructure" is the condition that tells you how much it is. Penalty applies to the total upkeep paid in the colony. This can be disabled or changed in the settings.

How does that penalty calculate?

Penalty ^ Amount of Buildings over the limit (example: penalty 10%, 5 buildings over the limit, 1.1^5 = 1.61, which is 61% more upkeep)

How do I disable the penalty?

Go to Grand.Colonies\data\config\settings.json and change GrandColonies_AddPenalty to "false". Do note that I personally found the penalty feature rather interesting, since it makes you re-think your placements on high hazard planets.

{Legacy} FAQ

How does this work?

When pressing Q (or whatever button you specified in settings.json), while docked at a colony, this will hide the buildings on the current page and "switch" to the next page.

Do my buildings vanish?

No, they are still there, just invisible.

How do I move a building to the next page?

Right click it, then click "move to next Page". That's it!

I can't toggle when remotely accessing the colony?

Yes, this is a vanilla limitation that I can not fix. The scrollbar will appear instead, so you can access all your buildings.

When does the third page appear?

The third page appears when you got 8 buildings on the second page.

When does the fourth page appear?

The fourth page appears when you got 8 buildings on the third page. See a pattern yet? No? I am so sorry.

How do I change the toggle button?

Go to Grand.Colonies\data\config\settings.json and change the key, it's self explanatory.

The icon turned into a small warning sign and pressing Q doesn't do anything.

You can not toggle between pages in when not docked at the colony. This is a vanilla limitation and I can't fix it, sorry! The scrollbar will be visible in this case, just scroll down.

The icon turned into a burning yellow warning sign! What!?

It does that if you can't toggle anymore because all the windows are filled with stuff that can't be hidden. Usually, it will go back to normal if you let the buildings be built, but if it does it while you have nothing in the build queue, please report it here.

The icon turned into a question mark?

How did you exceed 9 pages? How is your game not dying?

A building keeps showing up on both tabs?

This can happen if the building does not use the latest vanilla code for the "isHidden" method. Report it to the mod author and tell them to update their industries to the latest API implementation.
