Suggestion: Merge both celestial tabs into one

[user1464576869]

I guess it's nothing more of a pet peeve, but two crafting tabs centred around the same theme? Isn't that a bit awkward thematically?

And, seeing how some people wished for the character swap mechanic to be somewhat more nerfed as well; perhaps getting rid of the original orb and merging the entire station into the new celestial altar one that's stuck on the lunar islands would make more sense? Or make the little orb be obtainable as a result of constructing the altar?

I just feel like it would make more sense to have lunar related crafting originate from one point and then spread out from there

Also, it sounds like it was expected to be made like this ! The Orb prefab is named "moonrockseed" and one of the fragment of the Celestial Altar is the "moon_altar_seed" and "moon_altar_rock_seed" for the stone, so the two Orbs are almost the same thing, just a bigger ball in fact...

Soooo yeah, I guess it could be cool to use a single tab, like how it is made with classic Research Stations, two tier with differents machine

(and maybe making the Altar hammerable so we can move it or take back the Orb if needed)

It actually is. Hammerable and weather pain-able

I don't want to be that guy, but the forums has a suggestions section.

It seems combining the celestial tabs is a common thought; the same thing was suggested a couple weeks ago.

Oh, whoops. I figured beta related threads would take priority over topic related threads. To me the beta forum implies all beta centred discussions to be sorted in one space.

What I'd do is add the Moon Rock Idol and Portal Paraphernalia to the same crafting tab as the newer celestial stuff, but a lower tier, with the other stuff locked until you can get access to the Celestial Altar. The portability of the Celestial Orb plus the fact that it always appears on the map as long as it's been mined out of the meteor has its uses, so I'd rather not consume it (even reversibly) in order to build the Celestial Altar, unlike the immobile Broken Ancient Pseudoscience Station; it'd be more like having both a Prestihatitator and a Shadow Manipulator.
