This mod no longer leaves roman numerals in planet names, but I found a trick to reproduce this.

FYI for any other modders trying to fix this, it may not be fixable as of 3.8.4 because some part of the naming appears to be in-engine. For more info, search for a conservation about this in the #modmaking-discuss channel of the "Stellaris Modding Den" discord.

I would still love to fix this, so if anyone actually reads that and has some ideas, feel free to reach out.

seems to work fine

I just give it a sub in case you manage to make it work again. Found your mod a bit late :(

I really want someone to find a way to make this work :(

I've also tried "$PLANETNAME$" but that just gets you back to the vanilla convention, e.g. Prime, Secundus, etc.

I created a new mod to give that a try: it just results in the new colony box having a blank name.

Yeah that's fair. Full disclosure: I've had some tech issues between when i last uploaded this mod and now, and combined with the Paradox launcher being... not ideal, i can't figure out how to actually push an update, even after googling some things.

Maybe try editing the mod files to replace "$NAME$" with ""? That is, an empty set of quotes. If that doesn't work, i'm out of ideas.

It's kind of a huge deal, since one is obliged to alter the name when settling a colony. There is no functional difference typing to add "I" or "II" after the star name, versus overwriting "Prime" or "Secundus" with vanilla.

Yeah, it was weird about numbers with binary/trinary systems back when i first made this mod. No idea what happened to expand the issue to all systems, but honestly it's not a huge deal i think.

So, all this mod is a localisation file that replaces the original game's method of naming.

Specifically, the original game does this:#

NEW_COLONY_NAME_1:0 "$NAME$ Prime"
NEW_COLONY_NAME_2:0 "$NAME$ Secundus"

and so on

whilst this mod replaces that with this:

NEW_COLONY_NAME_1:0 "$NAME$"
NEW_COLONY_NAME_2:0 "$NAME$"

I suspect that the base game has changed $NAME$ from planet name to star name, and that's why all the planets get the same name with this mod.

eh,i just want it be the original name to let the mod's name not be change

So it mostly works, then? Neat. I don't care about numbered planets so that part not working doesn't bother me.

The mod doesnt currently work properly (prime is removed but the numbers are not added). This is most likely a base game issue though

Thanks for a good mod that I can recommend to others.
It would be nice if you could add support for Japanese and Korean language added in 3.4.

Thank you!!

Works on 3.3.4

I'm so happy I'm not the only one who likes this mod.

I finally found what I wanted.

3.2 Working, just needs a version number update :)

It is working just fine

Please update if possible

update please

update please

Thank you so much for making this mod. It's exactly what I wanted.

Works almost perfectly, and is much appreciated. The "Prime" nomenclature always seemed bizarre to me, but thankfully we have clever modders like you who patch such things.

Great addition, thx!

Thanks! I have been waiting for this kind of mod for a long time. I'll try if it supports Chinese language.

This should have been in base game. Common sense. Thanks.

I've gotten soo tired of manually renaming the colony. I would like to echo Sir Mayday's comment. If this works as advertised I will be so happy. If it doesn't, please continue working on it!!

I. Have. Waited. For. This. Mod. For. So. Long.
I haven't even played with it, yet, but if it works as advertised, it'll make me weep tears of joy. Thank you.
