It took 42 hours and 47 minutes, but I did manage to generate a 10k star galaxy. I did this with 10 cores while the person who did 20k stars had 5 cores; since we had roughly similar load times I think it's more an issue with how Stellaris generates than anything with the hardware. In-game, it slows to a crawl even while paused due to the insane amounts of memory it requires.

When you said that ridiculous galaxy sizes "can no longer generate on my machine. Or most peoples'," was that just because of the ludicrously long load times or is there a technical factor in galactic generation that makes it actually impossible?

For reference, I'm on hour 25 of loading a 10,000 stars 4-arm spiral galaxy, and all I changed to get here was; restore the line that lets you go to the Ridiculous settings from Elliptical (C), and moving the two files to their appropriate places.

@Panicles looks like I need to come up with another 50 or so names then >_> I thought I had enough.

@Vortek Gamer I don't believe the flattening bug is a thing I can personally address, unfortunately. It's been around for awhile.

This is a great mod but just so you know, I generated a couple 6k star galaxies and there were ~20 star systems in each generation that were missing names. These were the last systems generated that were generic star systems - aka not Sol or another unique system, and not a black hole. There were no issues with going into the nameless systems themselves, but going into the system view of neighboring systems causes the game to crash.

thank you for this mod, could you add 25 & 50 Star Galaxy Size please.

Here the 2 screen shot
New Save (did not save after generating): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3515109145
After loading the save: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3515108915

just noticed something. I was using colossal 4k with Cartwheel (C) Formation. and I noticed the difference between when I first create it and then load from the save. only part that is different is that the height placement is different

Thanks for the prompt reply despite my mistake of writing in #2, when actually I meant the #3 function I didn't need - but you've well answered my question.

@Wairui it's the custom sizes that require my patch. A lot of stuff, like Cetana, Cosmogenesis, the Tiyanki, Become the Crisis, Cosmic Storms, piracy, etc. uses hardcoded galaxy sizes (tiny/small/medium/large/huge) to determine various factors.

My patch converts all of these checks to star count checks.

First time user of your mod set - fantastic work you've done here. Thanks!
Now I like to use this mod but I have no need of function #2 of 10, which also requires Unofficial Patch (3.14) (U.P.) that I don't want to subscribe. Would the rest of the 9 functions in the mod work without the U.P.?

@Martok if you're using my patch, no.

If you generate a new galaxy, you may need to delete the interface file.

@Silver Knight no. You basically have to look it up inside your save file. My last 6k star test generated 5830 stars, so it's still fairly robust.

@Ariphaos Is there a console command to tell you how many star systems were generated?

Any idea if I'm going to have problems with my current 3.14 campaign?

Alright, now on 4.0.

If you are still generating galaxies in 3.14, you may need to delete the interfaces file.

@Vr. Yes, I'm testing the 6k star start at the moment. Attempting denser empire placement and seeing what star and empire count I get.

I will update it before my patch, but it is still going to require my patch - if you play on a non-default galaxy size without my patch (no matter the mod), things will break.

I've also added .25 hyperlanes and a nano galaxy (100 stars) as @ppga and @tim88435 requested.

Hello, question, are you going to update it?

played multiplayer game with one other person and insta desync. Could it be other mods we have going causing that or is this a known issue with this mod?

Is there any plans for including hyperplane density of 0.25 of 0.1?
Other mods that change add hyperplane density options don't work with this mod

thank you for this mod, could you make smaller galaxy like 50 Star or 100 Star Size please.

Should this be below mods like Gigastructures/ PD/ Real Space + system scale or before them?

Apologies for the stupid question, but is this compatible with Gigastructural Engineering?

@ppga no, see my All Systems mod for that.

Quick question does "5) Increases the number of precursor systems" mean more relic, ancient and other special worlds?

As long as you use my patch, this mod is safe to use with whatever.

@Ariphaos Well that was fast, thanks. While you are here - do you think it's generally safe to use this mod on 1250 along with your all system and all anomaly spawns? Is there something fundamental that YAGEM or those mods change, that could prevent other mods from spawning their own events or dig sites, or systems? Or they shouldn't be interfering with other mods at all? I am asking because changing galaxy size feels like a very major change, and just wondering how it affects other mods.

Alright it's now fixed. Apparently GALAXY_SPACE_SCALE_MULT is no longer safe to touch -_-

Alright there is a weird crash bug in here and am working on a fix.

But at the moment you can just disable the mod after you've started your game, it's only an entry in the error log.

That seems to have fixed it, thank you.

@Minemoder see if the same thing that helped me will fix your issue - search for the file 3_script_values_cosmic_storms.txt in ariphaous unofficial patch and delete the very first block of text that stars with this:

storm_size_multiplier = {
base = 1

Deleting entire file is also fine.

I moved it to the bottom, but unfortunately it seems that it only delayed the crash. If it is related to storms, I wonder if it has something to do with EHOF cohesive systems.

@Minemoder You sure it was this mod, and not the unofficial patch? I also get a consistent crash around that date, and I found out that it was a file in his unofficial patch related to storm spawns. Never occurred to me to try and disable this mod instead. How far below did you move it?

I've gone back a few years, lowered the mod in load order and got your unofficial patch, and it now seems to work.

So, this mod seems to be responsible for causing a crash in the midgame, for me specifically 2379.06.13
I'm playing with other mods, but i've disabled most others that I can without the galaxy simply breaking to test, and am confident in saying it is this mod since disabling it allows me to advance past that date. Only issue with disabling it is the overlay for empires breaks.

Before claiming it 'doesn't work' try reading the bolded notice at the top of the description.

Doesn't work , ,

@imarra3 try putting this mod lower in your modlist. It's possible you have an interface mod that breaks the fix here.

Alternately, make sure you've got the actual updated mod - try unsubscribing and hard-deleting.

I think the current update broke this mod. Currently crashes game on new game start.

@Fetfrumos96 I am not sure I am understanding you correctly?

I have verified this requires my patch to properly function, unfortunately. I will also be uploading a fix for my legacy patch as well as stuff with Cosmic Storms is broken there.

Cant check, but was the incompatibility with IBU fixed as it was preventing user empires from spawning with borders

I've noticed with 3.14 there are more things checking galaxy size.

My patch will move these checks to a raw star count, and it may become that any mod like this requires my patch.

Has anybody noticed issues with Cosmic Storms while using these presets?

thank you everything works 2500 stars 52 empires. For it to work you need to make empires with different star systems, either by origin, or all empires should be on any random star.

It is now updated.

Apologies for the delay, I needed to work out interface crashes.

For backwards compatibility you can delete the interface folder. Or poke me to upload another legacy version. >_>

Works fine for me using elliptical (L) Gargantuan (2k)

If the comrade does not update to the new version of the galaxy in the next week, I will have to abandon this galaxy. It is a pity, the galaxy was stable. For me at the moment this galaxy does not work, it constantly crashes.

I don’t know about anyone else, but my Galaxy still doesn’t work.

Managed to load into a game with this mod enabled so it might be working

Looking forward to your update. This mod is a must have and I wont start another game before this one works again.

your galaxy is the best in steam for stellaris in terms of performance. it would be a pity if it had to be changed to something else. I ask you to update it as soon as possible. adjusting the galaxy systems for the new version 3.14.1. there were changes in the choice of size and profiles of galaxies when choosing a galaxy to create a new game.

a new dlc grand archive has been released, please update the mod to the latest version 3.14.1.
