Small Lore Intro:

(On a alternate history of Final Fantasy VII )After discovering that Gaia, the Shin-Ra Company home planet was about to become unhabitable soon, the company started a program to colonize other worlds, this led them to the Rimworlds, worlds full of life and full of Lifestream to use, you are on the early stage of this colonization effort, but be carefull, the Rimworlds are not safe and you must contact the company to receive support using the research tables.

Each Colonization Stage will grant you access to new advanced equipment.

PD:This was my first mod, so suggestions and constructive criticism are welcome.

Also sorry my bad english, if you find typos or errors here or in the mod please report them.

known issues/incompatibilities:

   -minor error log that does nothing (or at least don't seems to do anything bad)
   when you build a robot, if you build robots turn auto open off on dev mode.
   
   -the only one that can cause problems it's Combat Extended  mod,
   the weapons added by Shin-Ra Mod do not use ammo and
   can be OP with the mod activated, there may be more issues.
   
   -ANY mod that alters these files may be incompatible (not sure):
    CommonMapGenerator.xml <-- (this for sure causes problems if other mod uses it)
    BasePlayerMapGenerator.xml
    BaseFactionMapGenerator.xml
    EncounterMapGenerator.xml
    EscapeShipMapGenerator.xml

  -Sometimes, if you don't have any robot repair beds (Recharge station or Tank Repair station)
         they will use medical beds,i don't known how to prevent this atm.

  -Remember to lock the Medicine use on your robots, they don't heal this way and you will waste meds, they have their own repair operations. (they require toolboxes & MakSteel to appear)

-There may be more, please if you find any report it here.

You created a toxic fallout based on the Mako.
Visitor groups don't ask if they should leave or enter on this event like they do when other hostiles events/enemies are on the map.
Not sure if this is vanilla behavior or a feature from Hospitality.
But it would be nice if you made it that it would recognize too.

uhm.. i think it's Hospitality thing, will check.

PD: Yea confirmed the alert of negative events when visitors come  is from hospitality as without it, even vanilla toxic fallout don't get the alert.
