This is a modded Spherical Gravity Generator. Its only purpose is to provide gravity to giant asteroids to simulate a planetary gravity, especially where you need to embed the gravity inside the asteroid itself where it cannot be accessed in game, or cover an entire sector!

It has an increased range and negligible power useage.

Min Range: 100m radius Max Range: 87,000m radius (allows you to create a sector wide gravity to cover an entire 100Km x 100Km x 100Km sector) 114 years operation with 1 Kg of Uranium Ingot with an attached Reactor.

The cube uses a new identifier so it does not conflict with the stock Spherical Gravity Generator and may be used simultaneously in the same game.

Placing inside an asteroid You don't really need to drill to the center of an asteroid to place a gravity generator.

This is what you need to do. 1. Create a new Station, not a ship. 2. Build a Reactor (Add sufficient Uranium Ingots if you are playing in Survival mode) 3. Build the new Planetary Gravity Generator. 4. Apply the appropriate settings for the gravity well size. 5. Save. 6. Open SEToolbox. SEToolbox gives you the coordinates of the 'center' of an asteroid. Simply go have a look at it and note it down. 7. Now go select the new station with the gravity generator (which should be 2 or 3 blocks depending on if you left the armor block on it), and edit its position, moving it to the same coordinates as the center of the asteroid. 8. Now save, and go and enjoy the game!

Wish List No energy requirements - cannot be implemented due to in game restrictions. Regular Gravity Generator - cannot be implmented due to how less editible it is compared to the Spherical version.
