Make X4’s universe actually feel 3D. This mod sphericalizes GOD-driven placements at game start and during AI-driven builds by replacing vanilla “flat/polar” randomization with a sector-centered spherical (or configurable ellipsoidal) distribution.

• Gamestart spawns (GOD): Listens to event_god_created_factory and event_god_created_station and repositions eligible creations using a Y-up sphere/ellipsoid around the sector core. Uses safe placement (<safepos includeplotbox="true">).
  
• AI economy & goals: Patches vanilla MD (economy/goal/station finders) to use a rand-in-sphere helper instead of the stock polar RNG for many flows (build-in-sector, faction goals, core fallbacks).
  
• Respects mods/updates: Classification is based on runtime object props (isgodproductionentry, godentry, zone, position), not hardcoded ID lists.
  
• Configurable shape: The helper library supports radius (“R”) and vertical squash (“squash”) so you can go from perfect spheres to gentle ellipsoids.

Result: fewer “pancake layers”, more vertical variety for NPC construction while keeping vanilla logic intact.
