Out of scope for the mod jam i believe, beside, it wouldn't bring much to the table.

Can’t alter vanilla files. A rule for mod jam

I like the idea that maybe the juggernaut itself belonged to a fallen empire - one that’s actually extinct, so you won’t encounter it later (unless they tweaked the mod even further). Yours was a servile race of that empire, and supposedly of the juggernaut’s original occupants. But you know very little of what they were, because after they died out, your people’s ancestors made the juggernaut a generational ship, and just tried to keep it ticking along, and looking for a new world to call home, eventually merely slingshotting between stars, as one by one the ship’s systems failed, and the descendants of those who first inherited this colossal beast of a vessel now held on, merely teaching their children the best skills for survival, as they could not foresee whether the ship would reach a habitable world, or simply become a tomb for everyone on board.... But of course, you DO find that habitable world! And that explains why you start with a planet, as well as the juggernaut. Creating more lore around an origin like this could provide some interesting gameplay twists. You could set it so one of your starting racial traits has to be from a choice of, say, three. Something along the lines of Survivalist, Mechanically Adept, or another trait which would suit such an “almost didn’t make it” background. There’s also other aspects of this, which could have an implication that your race as you know it has always been technologically minded - they still know enough about the juggernaut, after all, even if they can’t get it to work straight away. A good modded could even create a “prologue story”, where you have to make certain choices which then affect your start. I think a lot of players would enjoy that!

@@NineWorldsFromDrew now i wish to see this doen as a alt to the mdo jams mod.

@@alwaysmeepin9609 But it doesn't say it is not possible! Say,someone made it,just not in modjam.

Dang. Someone made an idea reality

Need a macross juggernaut mod then after this

@@jonaruo yes

Yeah one of them said memejam or something

One says ''NoOverwrites''

The sacred texts!

very nice jokes

Well yeah, but early wars would be op. IT would be like fighting Iron clads with an aircraft carrier.

@@NineWorldsFromDrew that’s quite a good explanation for things, though I think it would be nice if say your ship is barely functioning, you only a couple systems away from the habitual world that you find on the ships radar and you have to make your way past a small group of hostile aliens (say mining robots) and deal with many on board events maybe food supplies running out or a hole in the ship and you have to rush to the habitual world before your ship dies.

@@wuzz111 I’m sure a lot of seasoned Stellaris players would be up for any serious challenge. The only issue is, I don’t think there’s any modded faction yet which starts the game without a planet. Or at least a station / ringworld. I’m not sure they’ve even made a ship-only start a workable part of a new game.

@@NineWorldsFromDrew Yeah probably but we can hope,

So your empire starts on a juggernaut? And it is like a mobile planet? Huh interesting

@@WBT_1995 Vaulter super coloniser

It wouldn't be a 'Chance'. If it was half of the planet's volume somehow, then removing it would definitely collapse the planet

@@randomtommy5606 Well more like, theres a chance that it was half the volume. Bad wording, but still. Imagine. Or it turns into a game of Homeworld where the whole homeworld populous now lives on the Jugganaut.

@@AustralianGrizzly It should just make up a smaller mass but you get permanent negative modifiers on the planet once you remove it.

I miss the tiles...

No one misses the tiles!

Gotta love that Avian Shipset in blue.

Harvey Blorg? CAN WE TRUST HIM? *disappears in the shadows*

It's actually fairly well balanced. A solid well rounded package.

When the government bans assualt corvettes so you make your own

I don't think the engine supports mobile population centres

Alters vanilla files. That breaks the rules for the mod jam devs

Ye, but gravity isn't stimulated so it's more like the Roche Suggestion rather then the limit in this game.

You have to remember that this was a modjam, they only had a small amount of time to execute an idea. It was mechanics or story.

@@A_Spec Yup. For my part, I’m just speculating how - either as a fan mod, or an official one - it could be made into an origin, or unique campaign, that’s unique and really meaty.

Yes.

Same

Eventually, wouldn't want to do it though, you'd lose the dark matter deflectors.

Nice.

Xenophobe means you don’t like aliens, or any sapient organisms that aren’t you. If you don’t like other species, why would you board and use a clearly alien construct that you don’t know the origins of?
