Star Creation

Its just another step on the path to a tech victory, you won't actually be able to create any star.

awwwwwww

shounds like a good idea for a MOD but it might invole hard code

I think that that is what the terror star is supposed to represent. You are starting a chain reaction that destroys the star and creates a new 1, but since the star created will not hav any habitable planets you dont see it.

If it involves code at all, then it's not a mod, it's a change to the game itself and must be done by the developers.

Modding can just change the data values that aren't hard coded. For example, there are data files for all the ships and the tech advancements. So, you can create your own ships by just adding/editing a text file. And, you can add extra research by editing a text file.

But unless there was a file somewhere that listed the values for other stuff you can create, you won't be able to add a text entry for stars.

At least, that is my understanding so far.

There are some techs that are in the game as 'placeholders' for future game updates.

Thats cool terminator

Who cares about making stars..when you can blow them up though

Have you looked at the description of this tech? It says that the only stars you could produce are only useful as interstellar litter (white dwarf stars). It also says that the energy needed to create such a star is so high it would wipe out several solar systems.

Yeah, obviously later updates are going to improve existing techs, along with making new ones. Galactic Domination Theory for instance doesn't seem to have any value to it, even though it is the supreme evil tech.

I was totally psyched to see this when it came up for the first time too, and then bummed when I couldn't do anything with it. I hope, even if it's a little difficult, that the developers eventually put this in. It would add a lot to the game, especially given how many empty sectors there are on a map. They could do some neat stuff with it too, like the more Star Constructors you throw at a star creation the more/better planets you get in the system afterwards.
I'm just waiting for the Dyson Sphere tech and build item

*shudder* - the ability to create stars would lead to abuse that makes SB carpeting look trivial ... like building a wall of stars to wall in the AI ...

~SDC~

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Here I thought you could make planets and stars nooooooooooooooooo! I cry now IRL

Wouldn't be so bad if you had to use a Fantastically Expensive Self-Destroying Star Constructor(tm), and it could only turn reds and oranges into yellows (re-rolling the planets at the same time).
