[Teaser] Vanilla Gravship Expanded testing task list
🕑 Added 2025-10-10 09:59:31 +0000 UTCHey everyone! I got a little teaser for you all!
The teaser is in a form of a tester's task list - a list of tasks for our testers to check if everything in the mod is working as intended. Reading this list will give you a rough idea just how massive the mod is!
General
What are you looking forward to the most from a Gravship expansion mod?
Does anything weird happen when you enable this mod and load a save with a large gravship already built?
Are you able to save, quit the game, load the game back in and nothing breaks?
Oxygen network
Are you able to harvest oxygen using the oxygen harvester?
Are you able to generate oxygen using the algae oxygenator?
Can you grow oxyalgae?
Is oxygen correctly stored in oxygen tanks?
Do oxygen canister emptier and oxygen canister filler work as intended?
Does oxygen pack correctly grant you full vacuum immunity?
Does the vac checkpoint correctly prevent your colonists from passing until their vacuum resistance is at a desired level?
Astrofuel network
Are you able to refine astrofuel on a biofuel refinery?
Does astrofuel explode into astrofire?
Does astrofire burn much longer in space than normal fire?
Do astrofuel tanks correctly store astrofuel?
Does astrofuel synthesizer automatically create astrofuel?
Gravship research
Do you correctly obtain gravdata while travelling with a gravship, and does it progress the research projects?
Does constructing the gravtech console increase the rate at which you get gravdata?
Do you think you’re getting enough gravdata when travelling?
Are you able to research gravtech research projects on a gravdata while in space?
Does the colonist assigned to gravtech researcher role correctly assumes the position at the gravtech console for gravship launch rituals?
Gravship living
Do compact workbenches inherit correct recipes from their respective research benches?
Do compact workbenches correctly link with the same linkables the non-compact ones do?
Does agrocell allow you to grow crops even on your gravship? Does the built-in sunlamp work?
Do bunk beds work as intended?
Does wall firefoam popper trigger intuitively?
Does sealant popper correctly trigger when it detects vacuum?
Does sealant goop correctly seal the room from vacuum?
Quest rewards
Do the new quest rewards appear in gravship-related quests?
Does astropurifier correctly change the ratio on astrofuel synthesizer?
Does oxygen reclaimer correctly generate oxygen?
Does maintenance hub noticeably lower maintenance loss on all structures?
Does flight computer improve the gravdata gain?
Does capacitor harmonizer stop passive discharge of linked capacitors?
Does gunner subpersona core allow you to link and control a piece of gravship artillery?
Does gravship black box allow you to store gravdata when travelling without a selected gravtech research project?
Does gravship black box allow you to convert stored gravdata into normal research points?
Does gravlift allow you to settle on an empty space tile?
Gravship travel
Does gravjumper engine work? Does it correctly require pilot cockpit?
Does gravship engine work? Does it correctly require pilot console?
Does gravhulk engine work? Does it correctly require pilot bridge?
Do grav engines correctly generate power?
Does co-pilot console correctly improve launch ritual successes for gravships and gravhulks?
Does grav anchor correctly increase success chance of landing on a tile with it present?
Does grav anchor correctly remove the cooldown when landing on the tile with it?
Does grav anchor correctly helps save fuel when travelling to a tile with it?
Can you somehow construct more than one grav engine?
Do all the new launch rituals work? They are: gravjumper launch, gravship launch, gravhulk launch.
Does the gravship travelling correctly burn 5 astrofuel per tile by default?
Is maintenance loss correctly applied when travelling?
Is heat correctly generated when travelling, increasing the temperature inside the gravship?
Does heat gets stored in heatsinks, which then radiate heat and generate power?
Do you think the amount of heat generated on different ship sizes is adequate? Do you think it’s something you need to keep in mind when travelling huge distances in a small gravship?
Do the new launch boons correctly trigger?
Do the new launch boons work as intended?
Do the new launch mishaps work as intended?
Can you decide whether the launch map gets discarded or not?
Can you land your gravship on structures in a mechanic called crashlanding?
Do elements of the gravship get correctly damaged, including damaging the substructure?
Does crashing onto something using a tile that had damaged substructure correctly destroys this substructure?
Do you notice that the map generation no longer changes so drastically for bigger gravships? We clamped the map warp to make it so you’re sometimes forced to break some structures while landing on mountain maps.
Can you correctly land on empty space tiles in orbit, without directly touching any point of interest?
Maintenance
Do gravship structures correctly lose maintenance over time, some quicker, some slower?
Do colonists correctly maintain the structures that lose maintenance?
Can you set the desired maintenance on an engineering console?
Does the colonist assigned to engineer role assume the position at the engineering console for launch ritual?
Gravship substructures
Does the remove substructure gizmo allow you to remove only the substructures?
Can you construct gravship scaffolding? Does it take up the maximum gravship size?
Does gravship subscaffolding correctly break when crashing into something with it?
Gravship artillery
Does targeting terminal work and can it link with gravship artillery pieces?
Do gravship artillery pieces only work when their linked targeting terminal is manned? Please note: they will only fire when ordered to fire.
Does gauss howitzer work as intended? Do you feel like it’s powerful? Does it fire across the world map?
Does javelin launcher work as intended? Do you feel like it’s powerful? Does it fire across the world map?
Does anticraft emitter work as intended? Do you feel like it’s powerful? Does it fire across the world map?
Does point defense turret correctly intercept explosive projectiles that enter its radius?
Does point defense turret correctly intercept enemy drop pods?
Does point defense turret intercept space debris and asteroids from the asteroid shower event?
Space
Does micrometeor rain occur in orbit?
Does the new solar flare event occur in orbit?
Does space debris event occur in orbit?
Does gravitational anomaly event occur in space? Does it prevent gravship launches? Does it generate gravdata?

You can dev spawn enemies with rocket launchers. You can dev trigger a siege raid. You can dev trigger a debris storm or an asteroid shower. There’s many instances where hostile explosive projectiles fly at you. Dev console allows you to trigger many things without waiting for them.
Deggial
While skimming through the list, an actual question arose: One testing case asks: 'Does point defense turret correctly intercept explosive projectiles that enter its radius?' In order to test this and other similar cases, the AI has to attack. Do your testers have to play the game until such an event occurs naturally? What if another, unrelated bug prevents this from happening? Or is there a "scenario editor" where everything can be set up and then run its course?
