also does this mod works with other mods that have custom stars and etc like giga or real space?

it should be

Is this compatible with ui overhaul dynamic?

Causes a date crash - is it removable mid-game?

The performance depends on your PC.

Regarding the 3000+ issue... I have no idea why the included shapes have problems with 3000+ stars. Currently, I think it's due to hardcode changes.

Hello, i dont know if this is a mod or a game problem but in 3000 worlds the 6 spiral world is crashing the game. And out of curiosity, how much time does it need to load the biggest map

@Oxytoxy365 I've found it can hitch for quite a while when on the second day of the game as the galaxy populates or when it needs to generate a new system. Usually my game will unfreeze after a few minutes of leaving it alone when this happens.

Idk if this is like

conflicting with gigastructures galactic core generation or something

but when i try to use a galaxy size other than one of the vanilla ones the game keeps freezing as soon as i unpause

Is there any way to make a star wars-like galaxy

That update has done the trick! Thank you.

needs a minor update so that you can have the now six fallen empires spawn instead of the 5 for galaxys 3000 stars and above.

thx should be done.

Finally was ready to start a new game and when setting it up I saw that I couldn't access the new choose your precurser option. Did the typical remove until you find the problem and found this mod is blocking it out.

Thanks for the update! Love your mods!

this doesnt work with gigastructures for anyone wondering since the mod owner decided to put stars in the core region and completely mess up the hyperlanes

Also, I think you need to add some scripted_values to make storms work on non-standard sizes.

I think it might be wise to add a *small* core radius, just to give the Gigas core somewhere to spawn that isn't awkwardly smooshed up against a bunch of other stars (maybe make it a patch?)

@Namid I know what the problem is. Please re-subscribe to the mod. If that doesn't work, please tell me your screen resolution. It has something to do with the number of AI symbols on the bottom left. If there are too many and they go over their lower layer, the game crashes.

I'm not entirely sure what's going on, but thought it might be helpful to post: when selecting the next star size after Immense (3000 stars), my game seems to crash. Not a priority for me personally since 1500 stars is by far more than enough, hehe~

The performance depends on your PC.

the game freezes when unpausing while using Larger map (1500), with 4 spiral arms.

@Doge151 Should work with gigastructures.

@Spacewolf Thx the tip about the UTF-8-BOM encoding helped me.

does this work with gigastructures because it adds a galatic core

Derp, hit button too soon.

Second thing: This updated to current version?

Two things:

1. Irony Mod Manager tells me: "Error at file: localisation\mnlg_l_german.yml." needs to be in UTF-8-BOM, apparently.

Looks like you have a mod conflict. The Huge(1000 Stars) isn't from MNLG.

When i have this mod installed there are two options with 1000 stars

@jmxd What?

What is the difference between 1000 stars and 1000 stars "normally"?

@Snowcraft As an extension with dependency yes.

Would we be allowed to create and publish our own modified version of this with changes to the map generation, so that galaxies can spawn without stars in their core?

No, I'm not planning anything. There are galaxies with and without a system in the center.

Hey, really appreciate the mod! One question, though: would it be possible to make versions of the galaxies without any systems in the galactic core? I ask because Gigastructures can add systems to the core of the galaxy after the game starts, and it looks really messed up if there are already stars in the core.

Good mod regardless, though!

Don't know how there could be anything left. Sunconure11 said in the comments that it helped him to change the load order.

@Shio I do have a fair number of mods but this is the only one I have that modifies the galaxy. Hum. Maybe something left over from an uninstalled mod?

I'm running out of "forms of increase" or " comparisons - whatever it is called in English - to do more. ^^

Could we get galaxy sizes for 2250 and 2750 stars?

The mod works, maybe you installed another mod that overwrites the galaxy_shapes.txt.

I'm not seeing new galaxy shapes though I do see sizes. Unsub and resub does not change this.

So, I spent a few hours... screwing on it. ^^ Should be enough, I need a Döner. :)

@mcavee
So I would say it works perfectly now. But I'm dependent on the players. I can't and don't want to test everything. I don't have time for this. I recreated "Complex Barred 800 systems" 5 times and didn't see any bugs.

The problem is if I can't reproduce the bug, I can't test what the problem is either. The map generation is limited and... I'm pushing the limits with the new maps.

Can you enter "observe" in the console and tell me if you then also have the bug?

Hello, I just played with your mod. The map designs, imo, do look a lot better! However, I just noticed some sort of layer over the middle part of the map which is like a giant black circle preventing from empire colours to show up. I quickly lost track of which systems were under whose control. Pretty sure that's the buggy Fog of War you mentioned.

This was on map "Complex Barred 800 systems".
Are all the new map shapes bugged? Which ones work for sure?

As a side note, I'm pretty sure you also added more empires to add total when setting up your map, which is originally what I was looking for in a mod when I encountered yours. Thanks for that if you did!

Moving the location of it in my load order fixed it.

If this is still the case you have to subscribe to the mod again.

Well, what I was trying to say is that I can only access the vanilla Galaxy shapes

Steam sucks... should work now. But as I said, the new ones are from 4000. That has to be enough.

Well, I can't seem to access the newer shapes at higher amounts of stars. I want to do a map that is somewhere around 2000 - 4000 stars with either irregular or complex barred as the map.

But yes, it may be that the irregular doesn't go along with it. I've already said in the comments that I "fold" the layer of the map for this. The map generation is reaching its limit.

In my opinion, games above 4000 are not playable, especially in MP. But I can soon add a few sizes up to 10K.
