I've Uploaded a WIP Update for this. Found Here: Abandoned Habitats Update

update?

Is there a console command to create abandoned habs?

@Violent Beetle Dang. Hopefully with the Espionage patch, the series can be better than what it is.

mood.

It will be updated when I stop being mad at the current state of the game. I don't know when it would happen, if ever.

Thanks very much @hyper_fool_80! I shall give that a try.

Is the mod updated to 2.8? If not, will it be?

@Liquid Snake: You can do as I did and Make yourself a patch for personal use, Just make a mod with just the event vb_ab_hab and edit the entries (I've even added the Habs from some of the Shipsets I play with. and Added the Habs from the Necro pack. But yes you can edit it in a current game by opening the save game in an editor and changing the entries, I recommend using a program with a find/replace feature and replacing all "01_orbital_habitat_entity" with "01_habitat_phase_01_entity"

https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Save-game_editing will tell you where the Save files are and Proper way to edit them.

@Violent Beetle: Noted, and appreciated. Rest assured though that I wasn't saying that to hassle you. Rather, I was asking Synth on how to do the workaround - largely to avoid hassling you yourself ;)

Yes, I know a problem with black habitats. Unfortunately I don't have time and energy to manage my mods right now to fix it.

@Synthesis: I'm also encountering the black habitats bug here. The fix you suggest looks good; I presume this has to be done by directly editing a save file once a new game has been started and a game has been saved?
If so, wonderful. Only problem is, I don't know how you do that! Where are the save files usually kept?
Cheers!

Is there a way to make it so that the Planetary Habitats from
Planetary Diversity - Planetary Habitats Can be spawned in like regular Habs?

Thank you Synthesis, had been having this issue for awhile.

So, I think I figured it out: at some time Paradox, in their infinite wisdom, changed the coding for habitats to "...01_habitat_phase_01_entity". So for example, "avian_01_orbital_habitat_entity" should be "avian_01_habitat_phase_01_entity"--with the wrong code, habitats default to a textureless mammalian habitat. If anyone else is encountering this, you can go through your saves with find-and-replace and fix it pretty easily (a 800-system galaxy had about 11 habitats?).

The fact that this only affected habitats generated at the start of the game pointed to this mod. Maybe this'll help the mod creator if they ever look at it again.

Is anyone encountering a glitch where habitats have a solid black texture over the model?

Sounds like you put them inside the "while" loop. You should take them outside.

@Violent Beetle
Quick Question: How can I make it so that the spawn with deposits other than the Ruined Sections?

I ask because I am attempting to make a Custom Patch to do a few Items:
1)Change size Down to 4
2)Increase Spawn amount
3)Start with a Custom Arcane Replicator and Generator

The First two Items I've got working Ive got my Patch increasing the Amount from 1% to 15% and Spawning size 4 Habs. I Just can't seem to figure out how to have it spawn with only one Arcane Replicator and one Generator. Currently when I add
add_deposit = d_arcane_generator
add_deposit = d_arcane_replicator
It'll Spawn 5 of each when I only want 1.
My Plan for the Generators and Replicator is to adjust its values to produce different Items depending on Districts (Idea taken from another mod)

I'll let you know if anything acts weird! Thanks for the fast response

It's been adapted for post-tile version, however I didn't have a chance to update my mods to 2.6

I don't think anything about this one was actually affected by update, however.

The screenshots are a bit confusing, does this work with the latest version?

Yeah, you can definitely manipulate them in post-effect.

#3: they Do have the fixed size of 6 I was actually wondering if there was a way to have them spawn at different sizes not all at a fixed size, I typed it out wrong.

1. Yes. You picked the right place. The ratio between 99 and 1 is what controls chance for each system to spawn a habitat.
2. With the right effects, everything is possible. It's an interesting idea I might consider adding. But I'm more into making Doom maps right now.
3. They should be fixed. Could be broken due to bug, but shouldn't.

I was wondering a few things.
1: What item should i adjust to increase the amount spawned (I'm guessing the 1, I play on larger maps so trial and error takes too long.)
random_list = {
99 = { }
1 = {
2: If these was a way to add items such as The Arcane Replicator (randomly) Perhaps behind one of the Blockers
3:If the size of the Habitats be Random?

Okay, thanks.

working as described

I only understand the term WAD in DOOM engine contexts, could you explain please?

District Overhaul is a grand idea but even with his rereleased version it does not play nice with AI mods and there are tons of errors in the error log including some blatant ones like misnaming his own scripted triggers.

As for this mod. I have used it in 2.6 and thus far it seems to WAD.

ok, good luck :), i dont know how to do

I'm having troubles making launcher recognize my files properly, but eventually we'll figure it out.

there are spawning 6 habitats in an 1000 star map
i think most people dont like the red "!" in the game launcher, ist it possible to set the mod to Version 2.6.2. compatible?

Does it not work right now? I'll update it eventually, but I'm not sure it needs to be.

Update?

Interesting. I guess district overhaul adds some extra flags to control districts?

I'll take a look, maybe there's a flag I'm forgetting.

dont know what to do with the bug i have :C I play with district overhaul and your habitats have no districts when i find them. Even if they do, after colonization they disappear

cool :)

I have updated the mod.

Among other things I have fixed an outstanding bug where habitat spawned in a system with no planets, having wrong name - and I also hopefully made it account for deposit below, like in vanilla.

please update

So, the answer is "No". There are a few instances where it could, but if it made it through, it's OK.

I'll verify and update version soon.

I created a new Galaxy. (1000 Stars) There are 7 Orbital Habitats in this Galaxy. When should it crash?

I'm sure one tried it on 2.3 already. Did it crash?

Mod is great, really the only thing missing I feel would be some kind of event or announcement by the game indicating that an abandoned orbital habitat has been discovered, otherwise this feels like something that should be a vanilla feature. I pretty much always have it running in my games.

Wonderful! I will add it immediately :D Lovely mod

It works for me. It's very simple and is not affected by any changes of 2.2.5

Anyone know how well this mod still runs in 2.2.5? Looking to add it to my personal merge mod.

Yeah, I figured out what went wrong with my other project.

I've definitely seen Avian habitats.

Hey guys, do you get different designs of habitats or are they all Mammalian?
