Infinite Space is a mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion!
Current version: 1.02 for SOASE:R 1.1

!! You may not use any portion of this mod without asking me first !!

New planet types more textures

6 new planet types will be introduced:

  • Hydrocarbon
  • Carbon
  • Oceanic
  • Rock
  • Forest
  • Ice Giants

Many more textures have been added for existing planet types, totalling over +70 planets!

Our own solar system

14 planets, planetoids and gas/ice giants from our Sol system are included. 

  • Mercury
  • Venus
  • Terra (Luna)
  • Mars
  • Jupiter (Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto)
  • Saturn (Titan)
  • Uranus
  • Neptune

New planet bonus system

The new system (or logic, call it what you want!) I've implemented is pretty straight forward: you get into a planet gravity well and detect various anomalies on the planet (these are lvl -1 bonuses and are mostly negative). They will mostly affect Population and Planet Development, the rest, not so much!

Upon colonization, survey teams may or may not find lvl 0 bonuses, these range from negative to good i.e. mineral rich soil, biohydrocarbon algae, etc etc..
These will mostly affect population, trade and planet development.

Once colonized, you can scan (planet exploration) the planet for valuable resources such as Uranium, Palladium, ...
These resources will attract businesses according to how rare a resource is, Silica is abundant, so it will only attract a small group of businesses (i.e. increase planet population by a small amount). Uranium however is more rare, so it will attract more businesses (increasing planet population by a larger amount).

New envoirnments and rendering

New colored skyboxes are added, as well as a new starfield and starscape stars (the blinking stars on the background). The planet rendering has been changed so the dark side of the planet appears more realistic, creating more dramatic terminators.All planets have new icons, dwarf planets have small icons, normal planets medium size and gas giants large sized icons.

Scaling


All units and structures have been scaled down by 75% creating a much more realistic atmosphere, planets will look huge!From version 0.99b and on, the download on ModDb will contain 2 versions of the mod: Scaled and Regular.Regular is Infinite Space without the unit scaling, Scaled is the mod with unit scaling. Please note that the scaled version has some minor visual bugs.
I'm currently resizing the particles one by one, but as of version 0.99b, most of the important particle files are resized.If you can look past some of these minor visual bugs, you can truly enjoy Infinite Space as it is meant to be!

0 comments by axeldude on Nov 16th, 2012

A day after the release of Infinite Space 1.01 a patch was released to update 1.041 to 1.1 which included some new maps and could not be played because of the mod has not listed these maps in the galaxy.manifest.
This patch fixes a few things:

  • All maps from 1.1 are playable
  • Fixed missing strings
  • Some adjustments to the main menu screen

Please note if you play competitive maps, the planets from Infinite Space are NOT included, did not have the time to make templates for the competative maps.How to install:

  • Download the patch
  • Unpack the contents of the patch in the Infinite Space mod folder
  • Overwrite the files when prompted.

Et voila, enjoy!

Thanks for responding! I'm updated to v1.03 already, other mods work fine but this one just doesn't want to, quite annoying because it looks bloody awesome.

I checked out the my version of Rebellion and it's 1.1.4480. You can check it out on the bottom right corner in the main menu of the game. To update your game in Steam, rightclick on Sins Rebellion in your library > properties > updates tab > "Keep this game up to date", this should get you v1.1. Hope this helps.

I've realized, again, that I suck at making maps, so instead I changed the quiet music a bit (about 20 minutes)! #SoaSE #Rebellion
