Horizon [BETA]

Horizon is an immersive Starfield mod that introduces a dynamic, jump-capable starstation, placing players in the heart of the unknown with each leap across the universe. Fully customizable, the station allows for interior decoration, medical services, crafting, personal storage, and even appearance changes with its ENHANCE! pod. Survival elements, like fueling the station with Helium-3, add optional challenge, while retro-futuristic details create a visually striking environment. Key features include an armory, a ship builder, a library with a functional armillary simulation, and convenient portals for navigation.

IMPORTANT NOTE - If you have stored items in the Armory prior to this release, move all items back into your inventory. The armory has been revamped and therefore any items left in the old armory will be lost.

IF YOU EXPERIENCE INCORRECTLY PLACED ITEMS - Go to the Mainframe and use the Reset Station option.

== FEATURES ==

• An unpredictable jump drive that takes you to a random orbit each time you press the JUMP button.
• Optional survival mechanics: Fuel the station with at least 100 Helium-3 to keep it jumping.
• Access to parts of Habitation Level B including the Oxygen Garden and Mainframe.
• Armory to store your favorite armors and weapons
• A retro-futuristic neon vibe with attention paid to small details (like light switches and window shades).
• Build it your way - You can use the decorator interface inside the station. In some rooms, you're even able to move or delete pre-placed furniture and equipment so that you can furnish things just how you like them.
• A visual "simulation" of the armillary in the main Library Observatory dome allows the observer to turn the simulation on and off at any time by simply interacting with the dais at the center of the room.Use the library computer for a extra surprise.
• Ship builder for all your ship customization needs. Currently mirrors parts available in New Atlantis.
• Use ENHANCE! at your leisure with a private Enhance pod just for those on board Horizon Station.
• The medical bay is fully equipped and fully functional. Just take a lay in one of the surgical beds and you'll wake up feeling brand new.
• Crafting stations
• Trade Authority kiosk to sell your goods
• A spacious captain's cargo locker lets you store up to 10K of things.
• Portals as shortcuts to different parts of station. Makes it easier to get around.
• Cargo + Cargo Hold interface (does not show up in inventory transfer menus – game limitation at the moment)

== INSTALLATION == Can be used on a new game or existing save game.

After you install the mod, you will find Horizon station in orbit around the gas giant Leviathan V. Simply dock your ship and start exploring. There are some slates that can be found around the station that gives you a peek into what has happened onboard so far. The story of Horizon is still being finalized and will include a questline at full release.

Once onboard, the Library is where you can trigger the station to jump. There's a table in the back of the room with the jump button, displays and a remote control slate. The remote slate lets you summon the station to wherever you are with your ship-- this is useful in case you forget where in the galaxy map the station is.

You can make the station follow you when you jump in your ship by enabling Station Follow at the Mainframe terminal on Level B.

== UNINSTALL == Before removing the mod, be sure you're not onboard the station, and you're not in the same orbit as the station.

== BETA NOTE == Important: This mod is considered beta as there are many features I would like to add but wanted to get an initial version out to gather feedback.

== GOOD TO KNOW =

1. The Armillary on the station is simply for visual purposes. It does not contain your artifacts. The logic behind all the artifact stuff is complicated and I didn't want to mess with it for this initial version.
2. The data core and fuel port in Engineering is used to fuel the station with Helium-3 if you decide to enable the fuel mechanic. [Disabled by default]. To enable, use a terminal in the mainframe hub or flip the switch in the Fuel Port. A notification will appear informing you about fuel mechanic status. You can see current fuel counts at a new counter added to the control table in the Library.
3. Horizon requires Shattered Space due to using some activators and special FX from it.
4. If you're having issues docking with the station upon discovering it, try moving Horizon to top of your load order.
5. You can make the station follow you when you jump in your ship by enabling Station Follow at the Mainframe terminal on Level B.

== CREDITS == Major thank you and props to JMPZ11 for helping me figure out a bunch of stuff including how to make the station jump properly, helping me with some customized door models, and a lot more.
