SS2 Addons

Added 2025-08-12 19:05:22 +0000 UTC

So, Magnum Opus v8 is pretty much ready. Just a few small things left to do (edit the intro pop-up, throw a few things on Nexus, stuff like that). This might be the last poll for it, for now.

SS2 has a lot of City Plans. Opus has roughly 3 plans per settlement, in most cases (about 100 city plans overall). Kinggath recently compiled a list of 160 of them into a Mega Pack.

This sounds nice. Some of them are nice! I've been building a few and throwing screenshots into Discord. But there's some downsides. Let's do a Pros and Cons list, shall we?

Pros:

So many city plans!
So many choices for city plans!
An ungodly amount of city plans!

Cons:

Can bog down script data.
Many plans "require" other addons (this doesn't mean too much - if a plan requires a missing mod, that just means the selected building from the plan is replaced by a different variant/equivalent).
Doubles up a lot of the city plans we already use - and to be blunt, I don't really feel like going through one by one to delete the doubles. I could, and it's not hard, but it's rather tedious and time-consuming, primarily because there's no external list of all the plans included in the Mega Pack.

So, what do you think? Mega Pack?
