Gt-new-horizons-modpack: [Suggestion]Add giant gas planet

Created on 2 Nov 2020  路  14Comments  路  Source: GTNewHorizons/GT-New-Horizons-Modpack

There are so many gas planets in the galaxy and it would be awesome if we can use them as a gas resource.
The elements of giant gas planet include H,He,O,Ne etc and can be obtained by spacedrill(a new machine after T4?).
Unlike the regular underground fluid,these giant gas planets are almost inexhaustible.
Just a tentative idea.

More details:
The spacedrill should be placed on space station to pump the planet's gas.
The drill can be modified to pump different gas of different depths of the planet.

It would be really cool if the planet's gas had to be siphoned from orbit, e.i. the gas pump had to be placed on an orbiting space station.
As far as I know the space stations have no use except for crafting the first low-gravity chip.

Space station are also very buggy...

What bugs are there? Maybe we can fix them. I think this concept is a nice idea and I'd like to implement somehing like this

Movement is weird, block placement is weird. Just build one in creative it is hard to miss

Well,it isn't an issue about space station.

Just out of cuoriosity: are these gases based on the actual planets or did you choose them because you thought they would fit balance-wise?

8B/s ammonia and 18B/s H2 is the opesite of balance

H2,He,NH3,CH4,N,O are actual on these planets,and the rest are not.

How about 4B/s NH3?
As to hydrogen,I don't think it is imbalance because hydrogen is so easy to mass production at that tier.

I tinkered around a bit with adding new SpaceStaions, turn out Galacticraft needs the dimensionID of the planet the SS surrounds. These planets don't have a dimension attached to them because, well, they are gasplanets. So I tried to change the GC code a bit to accept the planet object, which nearly worked.
I really like this idea and want to implement it, but I don't know (yet) how to properly do this, so this won't be a feature for the forseeable future :(

Create planet from layer of cobble and somehow make it unaccecible

@glowredman
Maybe you can just use the spacestations of these planets' moon(except Eris).
But it looks a bit weird.
If you are able toregister new planets, could you make the SS as a "planet" surrounding these gasplanets.

Something like this is my plan, not sure if it'll work.

This would work for SSP, but 1) the creation costs will fall flat and 2) there would be only one SS per dimension, so this wouldn't work on servers (yes I know I could create a SS for each player and space them 1000 blocks apart, but I'd also have to make sure that the player will actually land there when entering the dimension, which is very difficult)
