Moving planets.  Inter-Galactic U-Haul.  Astro Mobile Homes.  

Interesting, I would call it the "AI Killer". 

What would make it a bug?  Its just a piece of code he discovered works while he was modding.  Not like its in the live game as a thing.

Or it could be that there are lots of bits of code that do completely unintended things and thats perfectly ok because in the context of the game they dont do anything wrong when they arent implemented.  In the context of modding all those unintended things are perfectly alright and are the heart and soul of what modding is.  In the case of something implemented in the live game doing something unintended then yes its a bug, but using code that is intended to wormhole ships to random spots on other items such as planets etc in a mod its in no way shape or form a bug.

@LuckyJack:

I tend to agree with Deathwynd. It may not be intentional for planets to be able to be targeted by a wormhole effect, but I rather doubt that it's a bug or exploit that the developers will or should bother fixing. Teleporting planets to random points in the galaxy may be entertaining, but it isn't terribly useful. It's also something which requires the completion of a construction project to perform, which means that the world isn't doing more useful things like building ships and other planetary improvements, conducting research, or generating income. I doubt that the developers intended for planets to be able to do this, but on the other hand it's also unlikely to matter in any significant way. Adding controllable movement to a planet at little cost would be something else, but this isn't anything like that.

There is most definitely a serious draw back to a planet "wormholing". If the planet is sponsoring a shipyard (don't most?) then the movement of the planet some distance away would change how much manufacturing support it is giving the shipyard.

i think the issue would be warping into another's zoc, haven't bothered taking it far enough to see influence but seems to disappear from where the planet used to be. i assume it is calculated every turn based on where the influence sources are

From some things i've posted, some may be waiting for a mod from me. I am not determined enough to do such a thing, however if you want something simple just pm me about it and i can attempt to create a file for you. Not sure if i've said before in public, i just tinker for my own personal use but sometimes attempt odd things and get stuck on making it work so there you go...think i will shutup for the night. Love this forum, will never be on steam forums, it appears there is one for this game.
