Adds a new Algae-based technology to the Game. One kind of Algae is found on earths, and the other one on the Alien Planet's Ice, or they can be purchased on trading Stations for an immense amount of Space Credits. The Ice from the Lakes have to be filtered to get the Algae cultures and grown in the Algae farm. Algae can also be researched in the BioLab if there is no ice lake in near. You can then use them to build Hydrogen- and Oxygen farm, or in cooperation with the Plant and Cook mod Algae can be used to make Algaebased meat for food.
Bon Appetite!

This mod changes the skybox to one ideally suited for creative building. It features a dark grey background with grid lines and axis labels in their corresponding colors, giving the appearance of a modelling application such as Blender.

It features a grid as a background, with axis denoted by label and color. The mod by SISK which is listed as a dependency is loaded automatically and will remove the sun sprite, as it has been replaced entirely by stronger ambient light. Together with the dark grey background color, this makes the skybox very comfortable to look at for extended periods of time.

Welcome to the Star Trek Mod Pack by Q-Tech. This is a collection of all my Star Trek themed mods assembled together into one pack. This mod pack requires WeaponCore to function, so make sure you have that loaded in your world.
There is even amazing guide for it: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2634862322



With this mod, you will be able to hit grids, asteroids, and planets at tremendous velocities and enjoy the resulting devastation. Not only will it prevent many of the more awkward physical non-interactions so common at high speeds, but also opens up a range of kinetic options for weaponry. :se:

From remote-controlled kinetic missiles to orbital "rods from God", all you need is sufficient mass and speed to wreck even the most robust defenses. So when in doubt, crash into it!

Short range scanner that detects valuable cargo on other ships and displays the information for the player.

Now you know what they've got, but is the juice worth the squeeze? Then get the Weapon Scanner too!

Investigate far away asteroids using radio spectrometry to get an idea about their composition before you actually travel to it.

Point your ore detector directly at a distant asteroid to get a readout. Access the readouts by loading the Radio Spectrometry Reader script in any block with an LCD. There needs to be a spike in the graph at each of the 3 points of an ore for that ore to be present in the asteroid.

Ore Detector must be unobstructed and have a clear line of sight to the asteroid. Unfortunately the detector does not work on planets. oh and it is a server friendly mod! (only runs on client)

Wheels will take gradual damage while driving. Damage is a function of angular velocity and linear acceleration, with acceleration being the larger factor; your wheels will wear slightly faster at higher speeds, and hard acceleration, braking, and cornering will cause rapid wear. Wear will not occur at low speeds (<20 m/s) and it affects all suspension wheels, including modded!

Also the worn tires will display a HUD notification at preset intervals of 75, 50, 25, 10, 5, and 0% remaining life.

Rotors and hinges, separated out of AWG's Convenient Weapons Pack (since who wants to download 650MB of armour, explosives, scripts and other faff when you want juicy subgridding equipment?!)
Thanks for the convenience!

PS: AWG recommends to read rotor descriptions, and be careful of the flat rotors and their inverted offsets!
