Description
Similar to 'Ryans Master of Orion Collection' but excluding a lot of items that are outdated or don't seem to provide me much benefit, and adding a few others that I find interesting.

IMPORTANT!
1) Follow the instructions in both the UCP & "Custom 5x & DSMP Assets" mods in order to actually install them before playing.
For MOST people here is a shortcut, but refer to each mod page for questions:

1a) Install JAVA if you don't already have it

1b) Find the mod's location on your computer. To do this, navigate to the Steam install folder (on Windows, this is located somewhere like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam), and THEN:

1c) UCP (Unofficial Code Patch):
GO to steamapps\workshop\content\298050\1109736522\
RUN the "javaInstaller.bat" file there and type "2" to Install

1d) CUSTOM ASSETS:
GO to steamapps\workshop\content\298050\1348895422\
RUN the "javaInstaller5XAssets.bat" file there and type "2" to Install

(Note: For LINUX only, Use the *.sh file instead)

2) FROM THE GAME'S MAIN MENU, Set the below mod loading order by clicking the UP & DOWN arrows to the left of each mod:

*** MOD ORDER ****:
5x - the ultimate balance mod
UCP (unofficial code patch) - Make sure to follow the MOD instructions to actually install it!
5x UCP Compatibility mod
Tactical mod (v3.2a or later) (big benefit to how combat works and fleets are designed and structured!)
Split tech tree (this one is a matter of taste)
Custom 5x and DSMP Assets - Make sure to follow the MOD instructions to actually install it!
DSMP - Diverse Species and Massive Planets - 5x/UCP compatible
Realistic Planet Density
