Have all planets on one plane/planet as different biomes. Have all activity on one map, bring back the megabase railways. Find another endgame loop with rockets or something...

TLDR: mod Idea : Earth Is Flat uhm, Nauvis is Flat! Have all planets terrain and enemies as different biomes on one map.

I need a few +1s please. I've been playing space age and still really wants a mod like this. Have huge different biomes so it's good for railwords. Have the last shattered planet still as part of space stuff but otherwise all planets on one plane. Would be great!

Would it be possible though?

This should be merged with "Space-less age".

Is there anyone perhaps that can help me to make this mod? Everything from past Aquillo stays as space so you still have space science and later the promethium...but otherwise all planets as large biomes on one planet.

Can it be done? Where do I start? I've made a mod before so I got noob level skills at least...

The name IMHO could be better, as Nauvis is already flat (as well as all other planets).

Sounds hard.

What is your idea for how the transitions should look like ?
Just like Nauvis' biomes, 'flowing' into each other ?
(Separated by void with maybe some isthmuses is also an option.)
I guess another way, easier to mod, might just be 'stacked' surfaces like Factorissimo / Warptorio, with maybe some ways to teleport trains like tunnels ?

At least one issue is going to be pollution working differently on Nauvis and Gleba...

Yeah I figured pollution and pollen will be difficult as it's per surface, but heck have them layer on top each other and just affect enemies as needed...

Yeah I'd really like them all on one surface, let terrain generation handle transitions, doesn't have to be super smooth. In nature transitions aren't super smooth either...

Biomes should be large tho, like a 2min train ride atleast across...

With what fuel bonuses ?

have them layer on top each other

Would require Wube to add this capability to mods, as far as I understand from reading the Gleba FFFs...

we need this for biterbattles

Ok, the subject is a joke - but layering Nauvis is a great idea - Start near the bottom with the Nauvis layer, continue on up through Gleba and then Fulgora - then end with Aqulio on the surface. Then you can go to space to collect Promethium. You have to go down at the Nauvis layer to reach Vulcanus though.

Also, reminds me of a certain Civilization mod...
(Where just going from one to another «by foot / seaship» is considered to be a bug though...)

Well, looks like a mod like this already existed before you even started this thread :
