Hi everyone, I finally unlocked and built the Gambling Den (and I’m about to do the Casino research) and while the exterior looks really nice, the interior feels very basic and the benefits are almost hidden. Here are some suggestions that I (and I’m sure many others) would love to see in a mod: A bartender NPC who sells unique items/drinks/wares you can’t get anywhere else in the game.
Leisure activities such as watching races or simple minigames (nothing involving actual player gambling, to stay within the known restrictions).
Option to change or choose different interior looks/themes.
Real dynamic windows that show the actual outside view (like the Observation Deck), so the player can control what you see by how the module is placed/rotated.
Tiered progression & boosts:
• Base Gambling Den: small boost to morale, workforce growth, productivity and other stats.
• Upgrade (Casino or dedicated upgrade module): much larger boosts to all stats, plus full access to all leisure minigames and the complete choice on where/how to invest the profits.
Option to either collect the module’s profits as credits or reinvest them back into the station’s employees for even bigger morale / production bonuses.
→ If you collect the profits, there should be a morale & productivity penalty that gets worse over time if not corrected, potentially leading to crime events (theft, sabotage, etc.) on the station — so there’s real risk/reward to the choice.
Clear stats for the Gambling Den / Casino directly in the station overview and Logistics → Workforce panel (morale bonus, workforce growth speed, current penalties, etc. — so it’s not hidden in tooltips).
I’d be very happy to test the mod and give detailed feedback if anyone wants to pick this up! :)Thanks for reading!
