Yes it is so go enjoy it.
this is a new planet, so i would think making more tech and events for infrastructure building would be paramount. even if this planet is EXACTLY like earth in every respect.
Also, if our history teaches us anything about us. we, the human race for the most part HATES anything not us, so either we will eradicate the natives or eradicate the natives.
As to all the posters commenting on what they think sci fi is.... it's thinking outside of the proverbial religious bull crap box most of our politics is based upon.. mainly, how do we control the masses to our liking and NOT theirs at all.
Hard sci fi is sci fi without the human emotional context and it damn sure has NO religious bull in it at all.
this sounds like an extremely cool mod. Best of luck making it and i'd love to play it when u get finished with it.
But yes, there really should be much more building for this mod than anywhere in any other mod, if just for it being a new planet.
