Orbital Economy Overhaul

This mod is intended to be a vanilla friendly expansion of megastructure mechanics and related systems. The mod adds a large selection of kilostructures, several megastructure mechanical changes, a new archaeological site, new star systems, new civics, a new origin, and a new tradition tree. The goal is to not overly affect base game power balance. Please direct balancing feedback to my discord.

If it is a non megastructure mod, probably. If it is a megastructure mod, it most likely will not be compatible. (Yes that includes being incompatible with Gigastructures)

No, I only make patches for mods I actively use. Maintaining a patch for someone else’s work that may change without me knowing is tedious if I’m not using the mod regularly. If anyone wants to maintain a compatibility patch between this mod and another mod, I will be more than happy to help you with it.
