Sector: The Deep

Description
Adds two new sectors that also gives the Boron an additional connection to their Argon allies between Kingdom End areas (Atreus Clouds) and Argon space (Argon Prime).

If you don't have the Kingdom End DLC you still get one sector off of Argon Prime. Recommended to start a new game however it can be installed mid-save. Argon and Boron will move to populate it over time. Kingdom End plot aware so it will handle the path being open or not depending on story progress, including if you install after the finale.

Recommend volumetric fog set to at least "Medium". The game will give you a warning for certain anti-aliasing modes being harsh with volumetric fog. If you get poor performance try checking these settings. I personally use FXAA and FSR Balanced for my FPS numbers.

As with any sector adding mod, don't save your game in the sector and then uninstall the mod. Save elsewhere first.

Optional relocation patch available here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2976257404

The person below you said to use it in conjunction with the relocation patch in 8.0. https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2976257404

oh man this mod looks so cool but i'm afraid of it. Currently on a Boron play-through is this mod ready for 8.0 yet?

For those experiencing issues with the deep in 8.0 use the relocation patch. It changes it from overlapping a useful sector to overlapping Hatikvah's faith. In my opinion a sector you you may not visit at all.

I can't say for certain if I'll get back into modding again in order to fix whatever is broken. Kinda waiting for the diplomacy update to start up a new game again.

Will this mod be updated to work in 8.0?
The new maplayout makes this sector basically not work anymore.

I'd been wondering if this was still compatible with Beta 7.5 and the new Terran - Boron connections...

Answer: yes!

I just had it work out in my 7.5 beta 6 with "The Deep" installed.
The new jump gate in Atreus Clouds connects to the SE inactive jump gate (The Deep uses the S Gate) and then that connected to ore belt just fine and to Frontier's Edge!

now that I see it more clearly, it looks like Chillmatica added new inactive jump gates in Atreus' Clouds S and in Argon Prime SW which don't interfere. I have NOT seen whether or not the sector placement on the universe map will create issues with the Hatikvah's Faith...but I don't think so, because the hex locations on the galaxy map are in a different place... look here beta map on qsna

Is it possible to reduce the radar range in the deep so that you have to fly by sight? That could be funny

is this compatible with xpanded? I really would love to use x-universe, xpanded and this one together
