I'd really love this to be a thing^
space platforms are fun... repeating vanilla planets isn't

is it something which could be easily implemented towards the end of the tech tree?

This mod will always be a single surface mod, sorry.
For me, space platforms are not fun, hence why this mod was created.

sad. this is the only "only nauvis" mod out there which is not complete nonsense (okay almost only) and id love to have a version of it which would retain the travel & additional planet possibilities.

reason i like this is, every space age base is the same, there is no real build diversity anymore because once you visit vulcanus you have two options - either move to vulcanus and have the main base there, or suffer from extreme inefficiency of nauvis. :|

anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk. :) thanks for the mod bud!

You should check out https://mods.factorio.com/mod/EverythingOnNauvis, it retains space platforms and promethium mining in space

@TheAppleIsALie, yeah i know.. it is not up to standards, just a mishmash of features altogether. this mod makes much more sense.
