@Copper I did a thing - Easy Faction Maps https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3349972896

Agreed, that would be an awesome mod - it handles exploring the map while keeping things reasonably lag-free using the map's search bar.

I found an outdated mod that apparently used to do this called Simple Faction Map: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2035606493

It has a few potential bugs listed at the end that might be worth looking out for (or could just be user error/other mods).

Looking forward to that.
Especially the one that reveals the entire factions sectors.

I should be able to do that. I'm busy working on another mod atm, though, so I'll probably put that on the backburner.

+1 for Copper's request. Revealing the entire galaxy makes using the search bar lag horribly even on high-end systems. Maybe just an item that reveals the entirety of a single faction so we can pick and choose.

Request: Make a version that does the same, but in 3 separate items. Doing all 3 seems to eat up all my CPU can muster for nearly 2 hours...

Would also love one that reveals just a "small" area around the player, like maybe 25-50 sectors around the player.
Just to have mercy on my dear old CPU x.x

There's not really a way to reveal rift space unfortunately.

It claims to "reveal E V E R Y T H I N G" But it does not mark/reveal Rift/space areas... So i'd say "almost everything"... Great mod otherwise.

I just wanted to know in case I needed the info.

Purple for server, red for client-got it! Though, I should also clarify something, the only mod-related problem I've had besides forgetting to override the galaxy's config is one mod that needs its allowed versions updated.

Sorry - I should clarify - you'll see a huge block of purple text for server-side errors. Client-side errors will be a big block of dark red text.

Ok, thanks!

press the ` key and it should bring up the console. You'll see a huge block of purple text in that.

Btw, where would I look for this error message? Might help in sorting out why other mods are breaking.

I double checked, and realized I just forgot to override the galaxy's mod config.

Was there an error message?

I did not get the map upon first loading the game; please add an alternative means of getting it.

@Burstdragon323: Below 70 Megabytes.

how big does this make the game save size?

Yes, it takes a long time. You are basically loading the entire galaxy. It's the same way if you use a full faction map, so I went in with the assumption that people would know that you have to be patient. I don't know what happens if you exit before the rendering is done and I'm not going to try and compensate for something like that because I don't even know how to begin.

Might have been a bit quick off the mark. I had a save gave that I reverted to, and having looked at the various lua files in this mod worked out that this is not an instantaneous thing but rather take some time to render the map the first time after double clicking the item. waited for the 3-6 minutes (didn't have a clock on at the time, so only approximate) before the message A L L I S N O W S E E N was shown. after that all was good. I presume I did something that interrupted the original render and once its gone its gone..... Perhaps the other comment-er had teh same issue. People need to know that the first render takes some time and let it run until done

Actually not quite LH - RH (swinging around 0 but rather showed everything in -X up to +X =about 28. Im running a 4K display so perhaps there are more systems than in a lower res display????

My Map really only showed the LH Side as Omniscient......the RH Side only showed those things Id already discovered. There were gate lines on the RH side where I had one side showing and they dissapeared in the middle showing that the otherside still is to be discovered.

I also had to turn off the Galaxy Map QOL Mod before it would show me 1/2.....

Running Steam so the game ver is 2.0.11

Hope thats not too much info

Ah, thanks, that's good. This mod is perfect for what it does then.

You get the map immediately on loading the galaxy after enabling the mod. I didn't see the need to add an alternate method of getting one, because I can't see any reason why you would ever need a second one.

The only way to make this mod better is to add some way of getting it after Galaxy Creation. You did add such a method, right?
