does this still work?

updated and fixed

Ty <3 :D

Sry, I will fix it soon.

Hi.
Love the consept and the mod, but now hven I try using it, the game freezes in the loding screen :/

This seems to be out of order for game version 3.1.2

Causes a game crash every time. :|

updated, nothing changed ;)

I will have a look later today, I guess I can make it 3.0 ready very quickly ;)

Answering my own question: yes, it does!
Also modded the file to reduce size because I thought 40 systems was a little too much. Very simple to do if anyone wants to do it as well: open the asymmetricstart_events.txt inside the Events folder and change XX in the following 4 lines to the limit you want (I did 5 - 10 -15 - 20)

"set_variable = { which = "target_number_of_systems" value = XX }"

I know it's been a long time. But does this still work in 3.0?
Was reading another mod and had the idea for this mod

@Pancakelord333 would you mind linking that here when you do? Always loved this mod, and I'm curious to see what changes you'll make

@Pancakelord333 Use it as you like :)

@Persepheus I see you havent updated this in a while. From my tests it still seems to work OK on v2.6 - do you mind if I use your mod in my own? I plan to combine this with a mod to add more starting AIs

Does this work with 2.5?

Good mod thank you

Great, thanks.

Starting systems and colonies, yes.

Do the advanced start empires in this mod begin with the same level of tech/traditions they would normally have? In other words, they are buffed purely by the # of starting systems, correct?

Finally a mod like this, I thank you :)
The universe should be pretty crowded already when your civilization starts, and this is as close as it can get now.

Well, it certainly can happen, that the huge AI empire grew in your direction (by script). That is bad luck and shouldn't happen always. I don't think, I can really prevent this, without simply reduce the max empire size...

Hi,

"If you start with "Advanced Neighbours" = Off, your direct neighbours will still be small One-system-empires.If you start with "Advanced Neighbours" = Off, your direct neighbours will still be small One-system-empires." - I think this is not true. For several times in a row, I have started next to huge empires, some times with a base right next to my starting system. And no, there were no other AIs between us. It's a great mod but only when it works correctly. Maybe some other of my mods interfere but no idea which of them can do it, I don't use anything exotic.

@Hexagoros https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1773823881 :)

@Hexagoros well, I can make a similar mod later that randomizes everyone including the player. It's no work at all.

@Impyrium I'm playing it currently together with Starnet AI and it is quite impossible to outproduce the bigger AIs before very lategame. ;)

This sounds like a very cool idea and a unique way of having a harder game, looking forward to giving it a shot.

Would it be possibly to have a version where the player is given this same sort of randomized start?

I'll have a lot of fun playing with this mod.
