Vanilla Gravship Expanded - Chapter 1

Vanilla Gravships Expanded: Chapter 1 transforms gravships from simple mobile bases into living, maintainable vessels that serve as the heart of your colony’s journey. Instead of a late-game convenience, your gravship becomes something to build, upgrade, and care for.

This chapter focuses on foundations, not flash: the essential systems that make a ship feel alive: oxygen, fuel, power, heat, and crew management. Over time, your vessel grows from a fragile atmospheric shuttle into a self-sustaining orbital gravship.

Because this is a full gravship overhaul, any mod that modifies gravships will likely be incompatible.

This mod has undergone tremendous amounts of testing, but due to the sheer size and nature of it (overhaul), it’s possible that some bugs have slipped past us. Please report those using the google form linked below. Do not post your bug reports in the comments section.

It is safe to assume this mod is incompatible with other mods that touch gravships in any way unless told otherwise, so you’re on your own if you decide to use other gravship-changing mods on top of it. If you’re a mod maker and made your mod compatible with ours, let us know!

If your grav research values are way too high, Tweaks Galore research tweaks have been reported as increasing them to x10 values

It’s a big mod, with the longest infographics yet, but considering it’s an overhaul, it is also very complex. I recommend reading the infographics carefully to find out how the mod works now.
