You are looking for the �Genesis Weapon� components in the ship design screen. They are grouped under �Weapons Of Mass Destruction�. Also, you will need to research weapons of mass destruction to get the Genesis Weapon components.

I have lv 3 Genesis weapon but when I try to destroy an Irridiated size planet, it says that size is beyond my ability or somthing like that. I tryed it with a dooms day machine also and it didn't work. What happend was I destroyed a huge planet in my system cause i thought i could maybe create a breathable planet with the astroids, but it made a irradiated, so I tryed to destroy it, to try again, lol, and it wouln't let me destroy it. Before all that I had a colony on one of the irradiated planets and it wouln't let me convert the atmosphere so i abondoned it to try and destroy it but that didn't work.

SEIV Modding 101: by Imperator Fyron (Nolan Kelly), with contributions from Suicide Junkie (Nick Dumas)

Create Planet Size
Value1 = Size of planet that can be created.
Value2 =
Valid in Components.txt

This will create a planet up to size Value1. The maximum size of planet is based on the position of the planets in PlanetSize.txt. So, a Value1 of 3 can create up to the 3rd listed planet in PlanetSize.txt (medium in unmodded SE4).

Destroy Planet Size
Value1 = Size of planet that can be destroyed.
Value2 =
Valid in Components.txt

This will destroy a planet up to size Value1 and create an asteroid field of the same size in its place. The maximum size of planet is based on the position of the planets in PlanetSize.txt. So, a Value1 of 3 can create up to the 3rd listed planet in PlanetSize.txt (medium in unmodded SE4).

Bug?

[Captain Kwok]

It's not a bug. Irradiated planets in FQM are additional sizes beyond the huge planet entry in planetsizes.txt. The planet create/destroy ability works by specifying a number that corresponds to the place of the maximum entry it can work on. In order for it to work, Atrocities will probably have to increase the value from 5 (I presume) to whatever the Last irradiated planet entry is.

[Fyron]

No, it is not a bug. Irradiated planets and machine planets were meant to be special, indestructable planets. Creating them from asteroids is annoying, but with the number of asteroids around, they are just a drop in a bucket.

Kwok, that would actually be a very bad idea. If you do that, you could destroy EVERYTHING. Including sphereworlds, asteroids, etc. IF you really want irradiated planets and such to be destructable, move them after Huge planets and before Ringworlds. Then adjust the ability number of the Last planet destroying component.

1.7.5 is the offical final release of this mod. We will only do an update from this point if a major bug is discovered or I get a wild hair up by arse. And that is unlikely given the fact that when I say I am done with something, like making ship sets, I mean it.

[Captain Kwok]

Fyron:

That's not what I meant. I was just elaborating on why they wouldn't be destroyed from a technical standpoint, and that as such wasn't a bug.

I didn't care if they were meant to be destroyed or not. Nor did I know they were after sphereworlds and asteroids.

That was just confirmation...
