Vacuum Dwellers

[Torkle]

I'd like to make a new racial tech named Vacuum Dwellers that would give the race smaller and cheaper life support as well as cheaper and faster atmospheric conVersion facilities.

The trick is, I want this new racial tech to only be available for races that breathe vacuum (a.k.a. a home planet atmosphere type of 'None'). Is it possible to do this? If so, how?

I think I have some bad news for you:

Atmospheric Converters can not be modded to make No atmosphere planets...or was that Gas Giants can't be made to have no atmosphere??? Check that out...

In regards to the question, no it's not possible. However, what you can do is create a new tech area called "Vacuum Technology" with some components and facilities that require that research. Add a new racial trait like "Vacuum Dwellers" (same as Temporal, Crystalline, etc) that has priviledged access to that research area and assigned it to your vacuum race when you set up the game...

Aptmosphere converters can change a planet to aptmosphere none, as long as it's not a gas giant planet.

Thanks for that Geo...I couldn't quite remember...

But if you add planet buster/reformers, you could condense those gas giants into rock or ice worlds, then convert them to none.
