Installation and Use

These plugins are intended to fill out worlds generated by the default Astrosynthesis generator with information from the GURPS 4e Space world design sequence. They will not create systems or planets.

To install, copy all these files -- with the directory structure intact -- to the Astrosynthesis plugins folder. After installation, there will be three new menu options:

Plugins->Add GURPS Data

Prompts for the base tech level and average colony age for the sector, then fills out information for all worlds marked "Hospitable" by taking them through the world design sequence. All of the original data about the world is replaced except for the orbital data. Any asteroid belts in a system with a hospitable world are treated as colonies.

Adds data to the selected body and any of its satellites.

Removes the data added by the plugin from the selected body and its satellites.

Any suggestions, questions, or bug reports should be directed to me.

Still To Do

There is some progress on Society Type, but there's no UI. To use, edit the "GovernmentSocietyTypes.txt" file under the GURPSDataTables folder. On each line, enter the name of an affiliation defined in your Astrosynthesis sector, a colon, and then the type of government used by that affiliation. The choices are "Alliance", "Anarchy", "Corporate", "Federation", and "Empire".

This is feature is still under development; let me know how it works.
