Starforming

Note: Updated to 3.7+, now allows for starforming GS Ignited Stars and includes a Megastructure that creates an "empty" brown dwarf star system!

Ever wished you could change your stars to new forms, turn a Class m into a brilliant Class A, or even turn the brightest star into a black hole at a whim? If so, this mod is for you!

This mod provides an Ascencion perk called "Starforming" that can be taken after the Perks to terraform planets into ideal forms (Gaia, Machine or Hive), and allows you to use the regular Terraform command in (almost) any star to turn them into whatever star you desire.

Why? Because you may like the color, or wish to build a Matter Decompressor in a binary star system with a Dyson Sphere.

All times are 1/5th of the energy cost of the star, with prices ranging from 8000 energy for Brown Dwarfs to 80000 for Black Holes.

This mod was made with Real Space and Gigastructural Engineering in mind, so you can even terraform most stars they provide into something new. However, there are some limitiations:
- Not all Real Space Stars can be converted, examples being the proto-stars T Tauri, or collapsars.
- You cannot build up a Supermassive black hole or Quasar from GS.

Also, with GS, building any structure while the star is being terraformed will end up with the wrong star inside the structure, so if you want to benifit from building a Dyson Sphere in an O class star, wait for it to be terraformed into a O class, then build the Dyson Sphere Construction site (Should be called Dyson Sphere O something now).

NOTE: This mod now changes both the class of the star and of the star system, for any single star system. Due to the way Binary and Trenary Star systems are coded, I cannot change the star system class for those.

This means you can now Starform any singular star into another type and use starsystem-specific structures (such as the Hyperforge and the Assemby Yard from GS) on them. You cannot, however, convert binary and trenary star systems to singular star systems.
