About
The mod adds a special tool for terraforming asteroids - atmospheric projector. This is a technological device for creating an artificial environment suitable for life and breathing.


How does this work?

Atmospheric projector creates a field of comfortable temperature, protected from the effects of vacuum. Plants can grow inside this field, and living creatures can breathe freely.
The device requires a large amount of energy to operate, which increases proportionally with the radius of the dome. In addition, terraforming requires the expenditure of organics, so the generator must be fueled with wood.


Note
To function properly, the mod uses ProxyHeat. This mod is included in the VTE, but if you don't play with it, my mod will implement ProxyHeat's functionality on its own.


More details

You can choose any available biome for terraforming to your taste, as well as the desired radius of operation. Thus, you can create several domes at once.


Restrictions

Creatures can breathe freely within the entire dome, regardless of the structures around it. However, heat spreads from the center, so structures like walls limit thermal exposure.


How to create an atmospheric projector?

You can assemble it yourself once you reach certain technologies. However, abandoned devices by mechanoids are often found on asteroids.


Functional

Atmospheric projector always creates a breathing dome during its operation.
In addition, the device is capable of terraforming the soil and planting plants. You can select a specific biome and vegetation density, or disable these functions.
The power parameter is responsible for the radius of operation. You will spend significantly more energy as the radius increases.

Useless mod thanks

The terraformer terraforms fertile soil into normal soil. I tried making fertile soil using reclaimed biopacks form recycling expended.

Try turn off ignoring of unnatural terrains in gui

so i dug out an entire asteroid and it doesn't seem to terraform the "rough-hewn" vacstone area, just the natural dug out areas.

Added a terraformer setting to ignore unnatural terrains

@Kadan Joelavoch if you go into the settings for vanilla temperature expanded you should be able to turn on growing plants in proxy heat

I am also having the "outside temperature growth range" bug. I can force plants to appear with debug, but they die off due to the temperature problem (even though it says it's 77 inside the bubble).

@Cybranian There's like a super expensive idle harmony tick when you aren't using the features of the mod, you can check it out in Dubs Perf Analyzer

What do you mean by this?

Any chance the performance overhead could be toned down
