Artificial Planets

or

---

Works as of game version v1.3.3 (august 2018)

This mod allows terraformation of Gas Giants into telluric planets:

• Gas Burning -> Lava;
  
• Gas Hot -> Lava;
  
• Gas Warm -> Lava;
  
• Gas Temperate -> Ice;
  
• Gas Cold -> Ice;
  
• Gas Frozen -> Ice.

There is also an alternative version available with addition of inverse processes Lava/Ice->Gas Giants: Artificial Planets Alternative (suggested by Xivanon).

Keep in mind:

• These new Lava/Ice planets can be further terraformed, they are same Lava/Ice planets that are generated in galaxy right from the start.
  
• The size of new planet will always be Huge, regardless of initial Gas Giant size.
  
• Described terraformation processes are available once first tier terraformation technology Evaporation Inhibitors is researched; the Gas Giant must be colonized first, of course.
  
• There is no visual/graphic transition when terraforming occurs, visual representation just changes after a couple of seconds in the new turn.

Compatibility: Artificial Planets is compatible with any other mod. Some great terraforming mods by other people that in my opinion greatly enhance terraforming experience, which I endorse and greatly recommend: Terraform away and Planet Size Improvements

FOR MOD CREATORS: You have my permission to use any of my code however you see fit in any NON-commercial mod. You should, however, mention my name - at least for the reasons of good manners.

My mods:

• Kaizen Rejuvenation - reverse depletion effect
  
• Artificial Planets - terraformation of Gas Giants
  
• Enhanced Resources Extraction - adds luxury resources bonus to improvements that give strategic resources bonus
  
• Gene Splicing Cost Reduced - reduces to 1 number of population needed for Horatio Gene Splicing
  
• Temporal Duplication Facility - once built adds bonus FIDSI on system that increases by 1 FIDSI per turn
  
• Galaxy Generation Bigger Systems - changes galaxy generation so only 4-planet and 5-planet star systems spawn (faction home systems excluded)
