Summary

Content "Adds one variant of Habitat Block to the Aftershock Exoplanet. Also adds hackable display cases and doors."

Purpose of change

There is a need for more variety of structures in the Aftershock Exoplanet mod. This PR is second in a series of PRs aimed at increasing the number of locations on the Aftershock Exoplanet. This PR aims to tackle Habitat Blocks which are referred to at several points in the project repo but not currently implemented.

Describe the solution

This PR adds one variant of Habitat Block.

The First floor is composed of a corner parking lot with two spaces. (I imagine not many people on Salus have cars since I never see them but I have no idea what the cannon is. I also couldn't fit more.) Right behind the parking lot is a wing of 8 motel style rooms. Compact seems to be an operative word for Salus IV. So for this Hab Block I tried to keep the resident spaces as minimal as possible. Each room is equipped with the bare minimum: 2 sleep pods, kitchenette and fridge, storage board, table and chair, and one tile washroom.

The front airlock leads into a lobby which connects the services to the residential wing. In the lobby is a duo of vending machines selling food stuffs. There is also a nice bench and display of native alien flora. (Not sure if it's toxic, opps!) The two bathrooms connected to the lobby are guaranteed to spawn. As well as a the laundromat which comes equipped with ATM meant to imply a coin machine.

The other 3 rooms are all populated using nested map gen.
Slot 1 is located left of the airlock and will always be used by a dining related service. Currently it can be either a Cafe or a Dinner.

Slot 1 Diner

Slot 2 is located right of the Airlock and always filled a commercial service if some kind. Currently it can be:
Grocer 20%, Library 20%, Home Robotics Shop 10%, Civilian Gun Shop 10%, Clothes Shop 20%, or Pharmacy 10%

Slot 2 Grocer

Slot 2 Gun Store (Front Door and Stock door are sealed by hackable metal doors. Guns are stored in hackable display cases.)

Slot 2 Robotics Shop. (Front door and stock door are sealed by hackable metal doors. Robots are sealed in hackable display cases. Robots spawned are small mostly consumer/commercial grade bots. (See Domestic robot storage group))

Slot 2 Clothes store

Slot 2 Hardware Store

Slot 2 Library

Slot 2 Pharmacy

Slot 3 is located straight ahead of after the Airlock. Slot 3 is always filled with some resident service. Currently it can be:
Indoor Garden, Arcade, Sauna, Resident Storage Lockers, or Gym

And that was the first floor.

Floor two contains another 8 motel style rooms located directly above the first wing. Fire escapes line the sides of the residential wing. At the end of the hall is a life support room which houses most of the buildings related life support systems. Beyond the airlock a large section of roof from the first floor is accessible for colonist use. The washrooms are guaranteed to spawn. Beyond the roof can be slotted with:
Xeno Garden, Community Garden, Aerocraft Landing Pad, Solar Panels, and mostly empty.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've considered using slightly more static Mapgen to save time. However I do like the feeling of smaller services clustered into larger structures. Since it allows colonists to access more services without having to exit climate controlled environments.

I've considered adding even more variants for each slot but I should probably leave this one alone for now.

I strongly considered making a a set of structures shells that are populated using nested mapgen. Structures that conditionally interlock with adjacent structures using tubes. However I had serious concerns over:

1. Complexity of implementation,
2. Lower quality of output in the event I am unable to adequately quality control the output of the procedural generation,
3. Balance concerns regarding basically combining multiple structures into one super structure. That can be navigated without ever going outside.
4. The original design concept worked off single tile structures. However the proposed design felt cluttered with connective tubes. Which also obviously highlighted the grid like pattern of CDDA generation. If an implementation was to be pursued it would likely vastly prefer larger structures spanning multiple overmap terrains.

Ultimately I want to explore the concept more but am not ready to put into this structure.

Testing

Loaded into an Exoplanet world and verified the structures were spawning. Teleported to the structures to verify presence of enemies and correct execution of nested Mapgen. Verified all variants spawning. Eyeballed the loot amounts to decent(ish) values. (Feedback and balance adjustments always welcome).

Hints for adding a new word to the dictionary

• If the word is normally in all lowercase, such as the noun word or the verb does, add it in its lower-case form; if the word is a proper noun, such as the surname George, add it in its initial-caps form; if the word is an acronym or has special letter case, such as the acronym CDDA or the unit mW, add it by preserving the case of all the letters. A word in the dictionary will also match its initial-caps form (if the word is in all lowercase) and all-uppercase form, so a word should be added to the dictionary in its normal letter case even if used in a different letter case in a sentence.
• For a word to be added to the dictionary, it should either be a real, properly-spelled modern American English word, a foreign loan word (including romanized foreign names), or a foreign or made-up word that is used consistently and commonly enough in the game. Intentional misspelling (including eye dialect) of a word should not be added unless it has become a common terminology in the game, because while someone may have a legitimate use for it, another person may spell it that way accidentally.

Looks really nice!

Looks really nice!

Glad to hear.
I swear I had notepad++ search the entirety of my mod data multiple times to try and find that spelling mistake but evidently I did something wrong. At one point I just thought github was gaslighting me.
