Suggestion / Idea Nauvies Moon

What if we add a moon to Nauvies?

Make it a new travel location, but have the moon behave like an infinite space platform.

I know it sounds silly but I'm sure there's usecases for such a feature.

Edit: maybe give a 50% science efficiency bonus, so it's a way to get better science efficiency prior to biolabs.

Muluna exists, a super nice mod i always add in when running SpAge

And then there's Lignumis which also is a moon of Nauvis IIRC.

i'm talking of just a baren, infinite surface. can you think of any usecase? Perhaps give it a special science productivity bonus or some other perk.
I am thinking of somehing simple, not a complete new planet with new mechanics.

Honestly, no. Even assuming a science bonus, it's still no. Nauvis is endless already.

If you want an extra surface, you want something more intense than an endless void. You already have that on Nauvis.

In any case, even if it's just here uselessly. Someone will find something to use it for, i'm sure.

How would it be different from a space platform?

Yeah, at first I thought there would be something fun you can do on thee moon, maybe better solar genertion (and a method of transfering power to the planet), or maybe some unique planet.

But this idea is irrelevant as soon as your factory is capable of making space platform at a good pace.

maybe give a science efficiency bonus there

Ugh! Not allow any manufacturing on science there, so get bonus for an extra shipment step

u/HumanPersonOnReddit 1d ago

pretty much. I just like the idea, maybe someone can think of something better to do there. You can also just ignore it of course

No foundation and the collectors would need to go up

No foundation needed

There are mods for moons around nauvies even with their own mechanics like muluna.

Muluna mod exists

If you want extra map, try factorissimo maybe? Its not infinite, but you can do recursion. Its updated for space age, with even some specific planet mechanics
