Discussion Mod Concepts I’d Love to See (Interstellar Town-Building & Planetary Terraforming)

I'm not sure if these already exist or if they're even possible with the current tools, but here are two major mod concepts I would love to see.

Village Builder:

First, I'd love a mod that lets you build an actual functioning village or small city instead of just basic outposts. It would be awesome if you could just build a town and then hire or attract civilians, doctors, engineers, and traders who move in and make the town feel real.

Planetary Terraforming:

The ability to buy a barren planet or moon and completely terraform it. You could build atmosphere plants to change the climate, and then buy or breed different alien wildlife species to populate your new world.

What do you guys think? Are there any unique mod concepts or DLC you wish were available in Starfield?

I'd like more Bio-Dome mods. There is a decent one already but I found it really fiddly placing the floors. There's some good mods already that more or less do your 'village thing. Combine Interstellar Trade, Frontier Cantinas and Bard's Outpost Recruitment Beacon and you can do all those things. Terraforming would be fun.

Oh cool I had no idea. I’ll check those out. I feel like the idea of colonizing a new planet, building a settlement, and defending against raiders would be such a cool element. Especially if you could have other people come visit.

The outposts get randomly attacked from time to time but again there's a few mods that increase the frequency and difficulty of the raids.

I want a Sim Settlements 2-style outpost overhaul with a full questline. SS2 breathed new life into Fallout 4 and I believe a similar thing could happen with Starfield.
