Here are a few add-ons or extras that I have created for the Balance Mod. Be sure to note any special notes that I have posted as some items are not compatible with existing save games or other files.

Balance Mod Event Add-Ons

Balance Mod Pollution Events v1.03
The Pollution Events introduces the concept of pollution to the Balance Mod. Each turn, colonies that contain primarily industrial facilities will see their conditions decrease slowly over time. The rate that a colony will see its conditions deteriorate will depend on the number and type of facilities present and planet size. Log messages are generated whenever a planet drops from one conditions level to another. There's also a small happiness penalty. Only Climate Control Facilities can repair the damage and reduce the effect of pollution.

Balance Mod Small System Mod

---

Balance Mod Small Systems v1.08
This add-on will modify your Balance Mod to have approximately 50% fewer sectors per system. To compensate for the smaller system size, each sector is made larger to utilize the full display. Engine speeds and sensor ranges have also been adjusted to fit the new scale. The Small Systems Add-On decreases turn times and improves performance in general by reducing the time spent for movement and reduces the number of objects per solar system.
