Oolite Flavours

Flavoured Sets of OXPs downloadable through Oolite Starter

Beginners Set
adding here to the F8 market screen: information about tweaking the screen on the margins, and a record of average commodity prices together with details of how much you paid for what is in your hold

Depth
adds nuance - here for example at Tianve, where a Pulsar is added to the system

G1 Missions/Activities
The "Tionisla Reporter" mission begins at the Tionisla Chronicle Array at Tionisla

Additional Planets/Stations
creates solar systems with planets, stations and moons

Stranger's World
creates dynamic solar systems - but also more physics (all movement needs fuel etc.) Your game becomes more difficult.

Overview

Flavour your Ooniverse to your taste! Using Oolite Starter - downloadable here.

Available Flavours:

• Vanilla - nothing added

• Beginner's Set - OXPs designed to help a beginner to Oolite - giving in-game information useful for success.

This flavour makes your gamem a little easier.

• Depth - OXPs - OXPs which add nuance to the Ooniverse, differentiating (eg) Communist States from Feudal ones, adding in Lave's Academy, the Tionisla Orbital Graveyard, Tianve's pulsar and tourist traffic, lore-based planet descriptions etc.

This flavour makes your game a little tougher.

• G1 Missions/Activities - adds optional missions to the first Galaxy which are offered through the stations at various planets.

The optional nature of this flavour means that it has no effect on the toughness of your game (unless you choose otherwise).

• Additional Planets/Stations - Solar Systems! creates solar systems with extra planets, stations surrounding them and moons.

This flavour makes your game a little easier (more markets!).

• Stranger's World - Solar Systems! Physics! a more realistic world with dynamically orbiting solar systems (planets & moons), better physics (all movement needs fuel, etc.). See Stranger's World for much more detail.

This flavour makes your game much tougher.

Important Note

Oolite Starter merely downloads the associated OXPs for you.

It is up to you if you then wish to add to them, remove some, or even (if you have the skills) tweak their code.

Stranger's World

Rather than divide these up by the traditional Oolite divisions (ambience, mechanics etc), the list below splits up Stranger's oxp's conceptually, to give you a better idea as to how it changes Oolite.

New versions are available from within the expansions manager, except for those which only exist as oxp's (Famous Planets Overhaul & Feudal Raiders).

Careers

Start Choices Addenda adds 2 extra choices: expeditor start (Planetary Landing equipped Transporter) & advanced miner start (fuel scoop & mining laser equipped Bushmaster)

In-System Cargo Delivery opens an in-system mission interface in the F4 screen for local cargo delivery (for expeditors).

Mineral Store Reset facilitates asteroid mining by preventing saturation of the main system market (for miners).

Here be Dragons a Discovery .oxp: deletes all information on distant & unvisited systems from the F6 galaxy map & F7 screen (for explorers).

Astronomy

Specific systems

FPO Lave Famous Planets Overhaul (Lave): gives a more lore-based look to Lave, using the new graphics of Oolite v.1.90.

FPO Zaonce Famous Planets Overhaul (Zaonce): gives a more lore-based look to Zaonce, using the new graphics of Oolite v.1.90.

Solar systems (Moons, planets & stars)

Note that these oxp's introduce new screens/MFDs to show data on stars, solar wind flux, planets & moons.

Habitable Main Planets redefines planets' radii to realistic values for advanced eco-systems and colonisation

Moons simulates psuedo-dynamic moon configurations

Moons Texture Pack contains textures for the above

Planetary Systems simulates psuedo-dynamic solar system configurations for terrestial planets & gas giants

Planetary Systems Texture Pack A textures for the above - ice deserts

Planetary Systems Texture Pack B textures for the above - cold deserts

Planetary Systems Texture Pack C textures for the above - hot deserts

Planetary Systems Texture Pack D textures for the above - volcanic deserts

Planetary Systems Texture Pack E textures for the above - cold Mars

Planetary Systems Texture Pack F textures for the above - dry Mars

Planetary Systems Texture Pack G textures for the above - gas & ice giants

Planetary Systems Texture Pack H textures for the above - Mercury, Pluto & Venus analogs - and super-Earths

Sun Gear creates more realistic solar systems with solar winds and with main planets in habitable zones. Requires Habitable Main Planets.oxp

Combo F7 Layout changes the spacing on the F7 screen (data on "system") to make the extra Strangers World information (solar, local economy, etc.) fit.

SW Economy provides a more meaningful economy for Oolite: planet size & economy are now relevant to production, each commodity (eg textiles) can be valuable, and water, oxygen & medicine are added to the mix.

Space Stations

Orbital Stations enables orbital stations to dynamically orbit planets!

Traffic Lights helps with manual docking at the system's only main station & gives priority docking after 15 mins; also crucial for fuel-less Hard-Way oxp.

Physics

Hard Way: all flight consumes fuel - hence 4 modules - collapsible shields & fuel consumption; gravity wells; solar wind scoop & warp drive

Dark Ray turns off all laser beam glows - they are not scientifically justifiable in the vacuum of space!

With fuel now powering everything, including the energy banks, low fuel means low energy, and thus low shields.

Energy Rebalance rebalances energy between shields & energy banks to prevent damage - unless banks are almost empty and death is imminent

Equipment

The changes in Astronomy & Physics have led to some new equipment. Vast solar systems where all travel costs fuel - and where one cannot scoop solar flux due to distance from the sun, means that one needs more fuel (and an MFD to display Solar Wind Flux rating). Further, the gravity well of the planet now relates to its mass/size so the vanilla game altimeter is no longer as reliable. With so many in-system cargo deliveries involving planetary landings, a better altimeter is needed.

Internal Fuel Tank: a single-use fuel tank using 5t of free space in the cargo bay. Select/activate as primed equipment.

SW HUD CAI: modernised CB HUD with MFDs and customised SW altimeter for Hard Way.oxp (conflicts with SW HUD DAI)

Not by Stranger! Useful MFDs has been modified by Dybal to include a rating for the all-important Solar Wind Flux (also downloadable in the Expansions Manager).

Summary

This is all of Stranger's published english oeuvre - but not "Energy Rebalance SCC", "SW HUD DAI" or his "Leesti is Moon" texture experiments. There is more available through the Russian Roolite site.
