This is an add-on for Planetary Diversity.
This is not a stand-alone mod, it will not work without Planetary Diversity.
I would highly recommend using this with my Planet View to get the full effect of the Artwork.

This sub-mod adds new planetary habitats to the game. They can be built on any planet that is less than size 25. If they have a special deposit, modifiers or are special uninhabitable classes they will gain special districts, same as how orbital habitats get them, plus these habitats add a bunch of special modifiers to the game. They all start with 50% habitability, but each upgrade gives them 10% more habitability which pushes them up to 70% total.

This sub-mod also adds an Origin which allows your race to start with 2 habitats already built and inhabited in your home system, you can choose between a random or Sol system to start with, much like the void dweller start.


This is to keep them at the correct size, the same as regular habitats. No, I will not change that, it's done on purpose.


Buildable at game start


Cost: 500 Alloys, 50 Influence, 450 days
Small mini habitat that starts with 1 district and doesn't have the ability to have housing districts, just the basic ones and any special ones granted by deposits.


Cost: 750 Alloys, 75 Influence, 900 days
It starts with 2 districts if it is a moon and 4 if it is a planet. Gains housing, industrial and leisure districts with the ability via decisions to make more.


Unlockable via an early game tech

Unlockable via a mid-game tech


Cost: 1500 Alloys, 150 Influence, 900 days
It starts with 2 districts if it is a moon and 4 if it is a planet. Gains housing, industrial and leisure districts with the ability via decisions to make more. It cannot build mining districts.

It starts with 4 districts. Gains housing, industrial and leisure districts with the ability via decisions to make more. It cannot build mining districts.

As I've removed the AI's ability to make these habitats I would recommend using OldEnt's Habitat AI Colonization Fix. This will allow the AI to colonize these habitats. Once Paradox fixes it on their end I will reinstate the AI's ability to make these habs.
