does this work with https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=687226658 No Clustered Starts?

Mod conflicts with something. Works fine if put at bottom of load order. Not sure may want to add a special Character on the front.

This is very cool, good job and thank you for making this!

this is much less of a easy thing, but a "dead" galaxy with mostly black holes would be cool

Can you create a earth style map, like this https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3305176188 , I think that would be cool.

do amogus

@just a person ?
Only through a patch mod I am afraid.

hello dev, there is a mod I love to play but your mod overwrite it, here is the link: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1884789836 is there any way to compatible

@N a n a c h i
You shouldn't need to use anything other than default UI to see them, though some shapes are locked behind large enough galaxy sizes.

What ui do you use to see all the variety>?

When you have a second, maybe mention in the description whether this prevents achievements/ironman? <3

It works perfectly with Gigastructures and everything else in my crazy set :) https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3365840735

@kroun thanks for posting Galaxy Pack on your page, and especially all of your work!!!!! :)

Gigastructure generates a center of the Galaxy which could look weird on some Galaxy shapes but I don't think it would be unplayable

nigga structures

@TheWeixKaiser
I don't see why not. Gigastructures does not change galaxy shapes as far as I know.

does it work with gigga structures

Patch to use with Flogi's Galaxy Sizes here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3391992405

Finally, a galaxy gen mod that isn't three years out of date.

Unique and interesting. Will certainly try it out in the future. If i remember too. Liked and favorited it regardless if i get to it or not. Never been fond of going outside of anything besides the default standard layout. But this time I choose something different. So after my current match if i remember i 100% will try one of the layouts this mod presents.

@CaNaDiaN TWiN
I'll reduce the required distance for empires for the shapes you mentioned.
If that doesn't help, I'll try to change some of the other values, such as the thickness of the outline, or the number of stars in the core of corebound, or restrict them to larger sizes of galaxies.

I’m not very familiar with Stellaris’ galaxy generation mechanics, so I can’t explain why this happens. I really like the Galaxy shapes, but the way the empires are spawning makes many of them feel difficult to enjoy playing.

@kroun
Sorry for the vagueness earlier. I tested with default settings, using your Galaxy shapes:

Corebound: Few, if any, Empires spawn in the middle; most are on the edges, making it unplayable with many Empires.

Pulsar: Empires, especially Marauders and Fallen Empires, often spawn on outstretched arms at the edges but remain mostly playable.

Fragment: Empires usually spawn at fragment connection points and rarely in the interior. This issue lessens with more fragments.

Outline: Most Empires spawn in the interior of the thin galaxy, often blocking others. It feels unplayable.

Other shapes either don’t have these issues or aren’t significantly impacted. I like the Corebound concept, but it generates in a way that feels unplayable.

@Styr
Thanks, definitely means a lot to me.
Just don't put too much weight on the icons in the screenshots, their shapes might be more of a product of my nonexistent drawing skills than the actual shape of the galaxy it represents.
As for fragmented, that was actually one of the first I got to work. For many of the others, there indeed was a lot of trial and error.
Some older mods also added some insights into how the different values controlled the shape of the galaxy (Though I never copied any values.), as well as ideas for which shapes could be possible.
The hardest was definitely Archipelago, which is a shape I have never seen in any other mod. Took quite a while to get that one right.

@CaNaDiaN TWiN
Which shapes generates with empires mostly at the edges, and what size? I don't have enough time to playtest my mods beyond the most basic of testing to check if it doesn't crash the game, so any information on this would be very helpful. The shapes might have the wrong numbers for minimum distance between empires.

Amazing job at manipulating the settings, this looks like you've put in some real work doing trial and error with the galaxy_shapes.txt file. Without even downloading the mod I can see some galaxies make clever use of num_stars_core_perc and core_radius_perc (amongst other modifiers) to produce unique shapes, although I am very curious how you managed to make fragmented work so I will definitely be downloading this when I get home!

Idea: Make slightly altered versions of already existing types, but with a twist. Like a barred spiral that also has tailward connections to the other half, or making the 2/3/4/6 spiral galaxies have as few as possible connections between each spiral, preferably none. Or an elliptical that has stars in the core or an elliptical with a super tiny core size, you get the idea. These should be quite easy for someone with your skills.

Very cool Galaxys, it seems to have some weird generation and Empires almost always spawn on the very edge of the galaxies usually blocking each other off, some galaxies like Corebound Seems almost exclusively to spawn Empires on the very edge of the Galaxy

@kroun gotcha, thanks! That still works for me,p neat

respect

Amazing mod I have hoped for a long time. Thanks for uploading!

@Tal'Raziid
Unfortunately not. The game always tries to connect all stars to one hyperlane network, which results in a single, usually very long hyperlane between the fragments.

are the Fragmented and Archipelago sections fully separated (not including wormholes and gates)?

Finally, Walmart galaxy.

your mods are great, thank you !

Hydra gonna give all for stellaris

He does it again
