does this change the numbers of ressources generated ?

yeah I second this ;_; I would even love a x3 or x5 version haha

please update to 7 great mod feels like space with the travel mod also.

Like the mod but it disables the gates to Avarice, the one from Silent Witness to Union Summit is disabled.

This is such a great mod, making the sectors feel much roomier. Traveling feels like you're really traveling and at times in the middle of nowhere, which is great.
It's a shame other mod makers who add sectors don't take this mod into consideration.

I can confirm that this mod does deactivate all jump gates leading to Averice sectors. Removing this mod reactivates them. All started after Kingdoms ends DLC was added. Probably needs to be updated.

Having this mod enabled has gotten rid of the Windfall jump gate in Black Hole Sun IV.. This REALLY sucks, because I'm WELL into my new playthrough LOL

Edit: Disabling the mod brings the gate back, and it can be done mid-game with no issues.

is it working on 6.0??

What is not working in 5.0? AS long as Egosoft does not change old sectors and only adds new sectors this mod should work.
I can not say anything about mod compatibility because it completely depends on the mod. You can only try it out and cheat at game start to see if it works and then restart without cheat.

Hello, thank you for your superb work, is your mod compatible with X Universe + / as of 5.0 and Uncharted Skies ?

Eine Aktualisierung oder eine Neuerscheinung wär der Oberhammer... MFG

The impact is quite simple: all sectors are x2 times as big, all gates etc 2x as far apart. However, on the last update status, so outdated (03/2021).

Can you add the motivation behind this mod to the description. I'd live to know what the intended gameplay impact is.

@Dreamweaver- Thanks for the heads up

@scot42 - unlikely, as it wasn't even updated for 4.x, hence, Saturn 2 being removed from the game completely.

Any chance of a 5.0 update?

Issue with this mod, it removes Saturn 2 from the game. I tested it with Rise of the Ossian Raider, but ROR still has the Saturn 2 connection.

Has anyone tried it with VRO?

NauTdog; no they won't.

can you do another that is something like 1.5x I find vanilla is too small, and after using this for a while, I think it is slightly too big. adds a lot of time to the game because of it. I think 1.5x would be a fair balance because it makes the sectors bigger and you really get the sense of scale of space, but also doesn't add as much time to playthrough

If I remove, will the sectors go back to normal size?

Thanks for explanation ^^

@Newinger:

Ah I see. The problem here is another one. The mod is made by code and therefore I just read each line of the vanilla game file and multiplied each coordinate by a factor of 2 (except for each cluster).

This was done because of simplicity. I can not look at each line and put a <replace> </replace> tag around it. The program I have written is too stupid.

I would have to rewrite my code for the generation of this mod completely new and I must admit, that I dont have the time for this and there are just a hand full of people who would use it in combination with DeadAir mods.
It would work for vanilla sectors only anyway.

i'd only use this mod if explorer AI was made more efficient

@KungFury: The issue DeadAir has stated about your mod is the way how it is written. He stated:

"The problem is expanded sectors. It may be the single worst written mod for compability that I've ever seen. He doesn't replace values at all, he just replaces the entire ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ file."

(https://forum.egosoft.com/posting.php?mode=quote&f=181&p=5016952)

and:

"If the modder rewrites the mod with good practices, it should be completely safe to use. But if he continues to just replace the entire sectors root node then it will remove any sectors added by any mod that comes before his."

(https://forum.egosoft.com/posting.php?mode=quote&f=181&p=5016963)

Maybe you could get in touch and find a way to expand the vanilla/SV/CoH sectors without replacing the complete files?

Thank you al lot!!

Support of Terran dlc available now.

Then this must be because Deadair adds additional content like gates or highways which of course my mod cant know. I dont know how I can make it compatible.

Check the link, it's to the forum post in Egosoft forums. He revamped his mod to be an addition to vanilla sectors instead of a replacement, due to performance issues of the last one

@Dreamweaver: what is pt2? DeadAir has created a new galaxy map mod which of course is not compatible, if you mean that.

https://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=181&t=434243

Incompatible with Deadair's mods pt2

Ok, I tried it but whenever I expand clusters, the gates dont work anymore :(

Before CoH comes out, I will have another look into it and try to fix it.

That's so weird, I'd have expected them to be identical entities to the normal sectors, anyway cheers for the mod.

Because when I changed clusters the game crashed. I am pretty sure it is possible to fix that, but I dont know how yet. So to make this mod playable I let cluster sectros unchanged.

So why doesn't it affect clusters?

@phrozen: it is intended that logistic is more important and more difficult with this mod. I suggest you to have a look at my XR Ship Pack mod which adds some XL trade ships and miners.

Really great mod. It introduces some problems for the economy though.
Maybe storage and/or speed of freighters needs to be increased.
So you don't need a extreme amount of ships.

Other than that it feels much better and also expands strategic and tactial options.
Great stuff.

Great mod. Will you be updating this mod for the cradle of humanity DLC?

Plz make it for CnM Mod ;)

Thank you for your feedback. Glad you guys like it :)

@HT-0311: the placement of objects is exactly what this mod does. In theory each sector is unlimited in size, but because the gates are so close to each other, the sector seems to be very small. So I took the gates and stations and other objects (not all) and increased their distance to each other.

sO cOOL mOD mATE

Best mod ever,
first time X4 looks like a unvierse not this overcivilized edgy thing it was before.
the sectors grow with ur exploration, so surprice surpice, the universe is always only as big a s you know it, ... I love it
Thanks alot

There's definitely some weird hard to discover problem with the Sectors. If you fly through them at Cruise Speed it should take the same amount as if you're using SINZA (or was it SETA in english) in X3 AP.
However they still feel rather small. And I think the problem for this isn't even the Sector size. If you just fly around or teleport 1000km away from the next Gate due to bugs you realize just how big a sector is. The big issue is the Stations placement and the lack of content outside the "Main Roads" There's just nothing there that would make you want to leave the "Road"
If you could see any secrets further away...for example a nebula or cloud that looks suspicious....

While I enjoy highways and am saddened to see them not included, I think vanilla sectors are way too small. Great mod! thanks for uploading

Theoretically, I think this would be possible. But I havent worked on that. I would always prefer to play X4 without highways. Makes the game better in my opinion.

You might have to expand every single highway position like I did for the sector objects, but even this wasnt possible for clusters and it broke the game. So I have no idea how much trouble this would bring.

Hello, question : would it be possible to have the expanded sectors while keeping the highways? I have no idea how hard that would be.

Or maybe it is tatertrader, I don't exactly know for sure, testing still

I think this doesn't work very well with autotrading. My ships get lost somewhere far far away from sector center over time.

@Wonko: Oh after reading it twice I got it. Sorry, no native english speaker here -.-

@bertrand tolbert, that is exactly what @snowfious said :)
but no worries
