Nice alternative, much simpler Planet Size, display!

Simple yet epic mod that should be a part of the base game. The data is there; there is no reason to hide it from the player. Working fine in v3.14 Circinus.

mod still work with new apdate

I can check planet sizes in patch 3.11.1 (Machine Age Release). Saves me making my own mod! So yay.

Mod doesn't work anymore, for some reason. New patch broke it

Thank you for this mod! With Gigastructural Engineering, this mod is a wonderful quality of life improvement.

Why does vanilla refuse to show all planet sizes in the first place?

works as of 3.10.4, thanks for this gigastructure lifesaver lol

3.10 not work(

mod still works with 3.9.3 ^-^
thanks, this is super helpful with Azaryns barren world terraforming ability!

does this still work?

@mythic banana glad it works now!

Steam is set to auto-update every time I launch the "stellaris" icon.
I will check - Could not find out how to verify version of Mod in Steam - Nor in Stellaris launcher
- however I unsubscribed - and then re-subscribed - then launched game and made sure it was in the Playset

That did it - odd, wonder why no auto-update

@mythic banana I can confirm it is working both locally and on another pc that is subscribed to the mod through Steam. Are you sure you have updated the mod correctly?

Your probably right on those others
- and as you also stated "Hyperforge Must be built around a neutron star or pulsar of size 10 or higher"

I created a playset "planet size only" with only your mod - I loaded the two games I played all the way through - with Vanilla/Ironman compatible playsets.

I have a Neutron star - with research resources - I click it and try to use Decisions button is greyed out.
In another system I have a binary with a pulsar - again Greyed out decisions button

Those are the only two Ironman saves I have to test with.
I have loaded a Giga playset with Giga and your mod with three games I have - trying out that mod. Still Greyed out.

@mythic banana
I'm almost 100% positive that the size of the stars have nothing to do without output. Only the class.
The two neutron stars and pulsar megastructures have fixed output.
Other stuff are star class dependent, not size.

Just tried it on vanilla saved game (galaxy conquered/vassalized) with UI only (ironman compatible) other mods playset.

I can check planets size, the decision is there - but not with any pulsar or neutron in my systems.
Side note your mod is listed as "<!> warning - this mod listed as compatible with 3.4.2"
Your mod is end of mod list.

Hi Lordpas3 -
Thank you so much for that 😎 - I am checking it as I write this
I found this list in the Gigastructures Manual. So perhaps more star types?

---

Megastructures that Scale based on Stellar Class
The Dyson Sphere, Matrioshka Brain, and Star Lifter have varying costs, outputs, upkeeps, and build times depending on what type of star they’re built around.

---

Star Class
Multiplier (Cost, Output, Upkeep, and Build Time)
Matrioshka Brain
Class-O 450%, 500%, 500%, 350%
Class-B 250% 2.25
Class-M Giant 200% 1.95
Class-A 150% 1.80
Class-F 125% 1.65
Class-G 100% 1.50
Class-K 75% 1.35
Class-M 50% 1.20

@mythic banana I have added support for neutron stars and pulsar stars. Let me know if there are any issues or if you have any other suggestions!

Great product - works like a charm - Works only in your own star systems (with your-starbase)...I can see that value
However is there a possibility of showing STAR size also? With Gigastructures mod, "...some stars are more equal than others", there are two Pulsar/Neutron star gigastructures that produce more output on bigger stars

How to tell star size? Hmm, I know of a similar mod that shows planet sizes.

This should have been part of the game all along. I'm surprised this wasn't built into something like Planetary Diversity. Thank you for this mod, it saves tons of time trying to guess what size a planet will be once you terraform it or use PD's method of putting a planetary habitat down and then using that as the base for terraforming a planet.

@Lordpas3
Awesome and simple mod! Especially so since I'm playing with Giga (and all the additional terraforming options), I've always wanted to try to find the biggest gas giants for terraforming, but eyeballing wasn't really doing it for me. (Apparently, they made it so that Jupiter is probably one of the biggest in the game, at 35 :P)

That is exactly the reason why I made this mod. I once spent multiple years and thousands of alloys on a size 14 planet. Never again hahahaha

now i don't have to waste my resources terraforming some shitty size 12 planet anymore

Thanks!

Great addition.
Laughed harder than I probably should have at the description, too.
