Separate surface conditions for buildings other than overloading pressure

Post by rjdunlap »

Currently pressure is used for managing most building requirements. It makes it difficult to mix and match a planet to be able to produce cyroplants and foundries for example without also enabling construction on say Gleba. (By adding to the pressure mon or max).. would be nice to separate them out similar to Fulgora uses magnetic field.

I.e. atmospheric oxygen, nitrogen, carbon

I believe you can already do it?
For example, PlanetsLib mod is adding various surface properties: oxygen, nitrogen, CO2, argon, and temperature.

You could have known this if you have looked how vanilla does it.
