Ok. 3.0 is up. Added link in description to this one. :)

Ok, update.

Having looked at the map data, they have added a new line to map generation, witch none of the maps I have in this mod currently have. As such, that would be why it crashes.

I don't want to kill peoples games, who are still using the 2.8.0 version, SO, like I did with 1.9.0, I will make a NEW mod for 3.0.0 and up. I will add a link to it in the description when its done, witch should be in the next 24 hours. I just need to get the time to do it.

As a quick PSA, if you don't know how to revert back to the older versions of the game, you simply go to propertys, and then go to the beta bit. All the versions, right back to 1.0.0, are available to play, if you want to go and see how the game played on release. :)

Any news?

I'm looking for a Ginormous galaxy.

Alright. Thank you for your response and for your time, I appreciate it.

Hi MSFBigBoss69,

I have not actually update the mod for a while, so it could be changes to the way things work. I will have a look at it when I get home, as I am about to head to work. It could be as simple as just changing the version number, or it could be something else.

Everytime I try to use the custom galaxy sizes, my game game crashes. I have a couple other mods enabled such as Gigastructure Constructs (the one that adds in a bunch of mega-structures), and Expanded Psionics. Is there an issue with these mods? I can't play the game without this mod, I'm too used to having 20,000 star systems to go back to a regular 1,000. Is there any way to fix this?

Ok, so I ran a test. The problem is when it gets to loading the Map Graphics. So, I don't think load times are going to change.

As to the gameplay itself, that's down to your hardware + how the game itself handles it. Better the CPU the better your performance will be. I'm not sure, at least for the high star count maps, how much an update will do to it. For lower star counts, it might have some improvements

The other side of the coin tho is how many AI's you have. Not just enemies, but also fleets, how big they are and so on, is all going to factor into how well your PC runs the game. So, realisticly how well your PC runs the maps is down to your PC more than it is the game or the mod.

don't know. Have yet to try it.

How much quicker do these map sizes run with the new 2.8 patch?

Highly possible. Might be the issue with DLC additions perhaps. Mod is normally playable anyway. I've just ignored the bug. I recommend to subscribe.

Yeah, like, unless something is spawning in the galaxy somewhere, Im not sure, outside of hardware not keeping up, what would be the issue here. The mod only adds new galaxy sizes after all.

The effect of the research (divided on 6 sub-researches) is the (I guess) receving the artifacts of Irassian civilization. Crash happens when at least one of those sub-researches is finished.

Galaxy size is "Brobdingnagian" S=10000 (I see only this one as the top one in pre-game settings)

Ok, what I meant was, whats the effect of the research? Should have made that clearer. The effects would give me a clue as to why it might crash.

Also, the Galaxy Size your on would help too.

And thanks for likeing the mod. :)

But mod is really great. I'm fan. I just do not go forward with those researches :D

When it comes to researches on any topics related to Irissians - when the research is being finalized then the game crash ;) I had only your mod on, so might be some problems with mod or intiial version of game :)

What dose the it do? I don't think I have come across it in any of my games. hahah

Hi, I've found a bug with Irassian artifact at 2351.02.18. Game crashes, dunno if its caused due to this mod, but I did not have any other being run expect this one. Might be worth to check it out :)

@ekporos, no it hasent. Ita just cos of the new way the uploading works, I need to re-link it. If you go to my workshop list on my profile, it should be in there tho.

Does the 1.9 version been removed?

Any luck?

Ok, so given that I have had no probloms, Im going to push this update with no changes really, apart from the change needed to tell Stellaris its ok to use it. Once thats done, try it again to see if its working. If its not, I think it might be something else, cos they have not changed the way Galaxy gen file info...

Mid-tier gaming. Specifically a 1060 (6gb), 32gb RAM, and i7-6700HQ quad core.

Oh, and also what settings for the map did you use? It could have something to do with the empire count rather than the map it sef being to big.

well, I just did one no problom... There was a point where it froze up, but it did load the 3000 star map The Quest, witch has bigger nebulars as the only diff between the Massive 3000 star map. I will keep testing the bigger maps.

Whats your hardware BTW?

The game freezes for eternity. It simply refuses to generate.

@Sabaithal, What happens when you try to do it?

Though, don't expect maps of 3k or larger to function any longer since the last major update.

Unless they have changed things in the galaxy gen files, it should be fine. I have not updated it for a while tho, so I will have a look and do that anyway.

How well does this work with 2.5?

Right. And every system is a star or more surounded by planets. So, no. There are no systems in the Core. All this mod dose is change the star count and in some of the bigger ones, the size of the map to help with the amount of starts/systems.

Not starts Just systems.

Oh, no. There are no starts in the core of the galaxy.

(Stars) generated in the galactic core. Like some galaxa generation mods systems are generated in the cire of the galaxy too

Thats still not enough info for me to go on. lol What are you asking?

Core sytems?

Core what?

Core?

yeah neither do I. yet when i shut everything off it works... but tell me if there's a way to tell if it's working or not without having to generate a large map multiple times and i'll test if for you when i have time and say which one breaks it. but i NEED a better way to do this as i tried that and gave up half way through cause it was boring af.

Ok, so I just booted my mod up with no others running, and its def doing the 40K for me.

I can't really see any mods in your list that would fuck with mine or each other eather, so I am not sure what to do at this point. lol

well... here's my mod list. i guess you'd be able to pick out what would conflict better than I can op. https://www.dropbox.com/s/i2mz4vkkmt9n6py/stellaris%20mod%20list.rtf?dl=0

@sabaithal, yeah that's all it changes, so unless they add more info to the map generation, or completely change it as they did with 2.0, or the applying it did in one of the stories then all I do to update it is just change the info file to tell it what update its now on using.

@Cookiesnm1lk, yeah I am not really sure what's going on. I will check the map files and see if I have borked something, but I am putting my money on another mod fucking with it. Can you list the mods your using so I can get a better idea of what might be happening? Thanks.

Just to inform everyone, all this mod really does is edit the default galaxy size maps. You can do it yourself in "steamapps\common\Stellaris\map\setup_scenarios". Everything in the files is pretty self-explanitory, so unless I'm missing something this mod doesn't really need an update.

ugh. i have no idea how to test if this is working or not since eyeballing does not work. what would you suggest op?

hmmm... going to try deactivating all of my mods but that one to make sure.

a bunch. but it was working before 64 bit stellaris

Are you running any other mods?

doesn't seem to be working atm. it's not generating more than 1k stars for me. even though i set it to do otherwise. takes more load time but gives me the same stars. i was able to generate the 40k star map, and it took like 10 minutes to do it but it still gave me 1k stars. i then tried 5k stars and it generated in about 2 minutes. i can also use the 150 star and that generates in about 10 seconds. so it's wokring... sort of.... pls fix. i love massive galaxies and now that i can use all of my ram this will be one of the greatest things ever.

Thank you Jagji. I can not play without your mod :) Thanks again !

@Animaxe as long as they don't change anything in the map genaration then my mod should work fine even if its not compatible. But I just updated it now, so it should be all good to go. :)
