1000 stars. Go big or go home

600， I'd love to play larger system, but I'm afraid my laptop can't handle that.

I agree you cant have less than 1000 stars

[Jack Greedy]

800 or 1000

[crgzero]

600, but I play a heavily modded game.

I've played larger galaxies straight vanilla but it gets boring quickly and I run out of research long before I've conquered half the galaxy and by then I'm just steam rolling everything in my path so it's no longer fun.

Yeah regardless of mods or performance i'm just generally interested what sizes people play because Huge seems very confing to me at times with the large number of empires etc.

It is very balanced at 1000 stars. As for small galaxies, I haven't done it yet but achievement scumming is good for small galaxies. Fun is in Large Galaxies. There is madness but a lot of balance and variety in 1000 stars

[Half Phased]

In single player: 1000 stars.

Multiplayer: 600 stars. Performance is more important there, and it means that everyone meets each other faster, so you can get the galactic community faster.

800, circle.
Maximum numbers on barbarians, fallen empires, primitives
Crisis x25
the rest on default

[MrHero23]

tiny, cause with mods my first gen ryzen5 gets too slugish for anything more than tiny galaxy with 10 empires.

[pipo.p]

800, spiral 4 arms

[Oatmeal]

mostly just 600 with spiral 4 arm, with .75 habitable worlds, I find that otherwise the AI over populates and by late game my game has slowed down to a crawl, probably because I've disabled the empire growth cap BS

[Sabaithal]

2000 because ♥♥♥♥ vanilla limitations, and it still works fine.

[lemurs2]

1000 or 1300 with Wild Space.

[☭ Calabresa ☭]

At the max 1000 with 27 AI
