Can I make a version of the mod that disabled planet gen outright?

Causes the game crash on start, maybe that's a compatibility issue with the new 3.9 update. Disabled all extra origins mods, Guilli's, nothing that affects galaxy generation or starting conditions... still crashes..

This mod is preventing the crisis from spawning for me. dunno if anyone else is having this issue or if its a mod conflict somewhere

No fucking way.. I gave up in this mod months ago and you just updated it? Sir, you have my deepest thanks and neverending gratitude. Thank you.

Does this work with 3.7?

THANK YOU for this Mod

Does anyone know if this is getting an update

Can confirm.

Ditto the other peeps, this mod prevents new galaxy shapes in 3.6!

I have this mod but still there are too many planets lmao

Yes, this mod will prevent you from using the new galaxy shapes.

Excuse me for my poor English.
Using this mod with version 3.6 will disable new galaxies.

Excellent!

Is the mod still working well for the latest version of Stellaris?

Faustus спасибо огромное)

TUTORIAL how to use this with LARGER GALAXY SIZES
1: Locate the galaxy size mod in your documents/paradox interactive/stellaris/mod folder. Use notepad to open. Just click through the mods until you find it or you can unsub and resub to reset it's creation date.
2: Open the filepath you will find there, open the .zip file, find the setup_scenarios file
3: Edit the .txt file of the galaxy size you want to use and change the colonizable_planets_odds. To achieve the same effect this mod has change it to 0.25. You will need to unzip and rezip the folder.
And you're done!

I would really like this mod to be compatible with larger galaxy sizes. As I want to be able to spawn a 5,000 star galaxy but have only as many planets as a medium (600) galaxy.

Great mod. Makes planets feel a lot more special. Thank you!

Great synergy with mods like Gigastructures. Really feels like you're bringing life to the galaxy when you're terraforming an endless sea of barren planets into verdant Gaia worlds.

Great idea! Have you considered making it compatible with Extended Galaxy Sizes? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2476528611

This makes the game much more fun. Great mod.

this mod is good. especially about "keeping unique planets".

i need like 〇/16

If you have infinite stellaris framework you need to put this mod later in the load order, as that mod also edits map\setup_scenarios files.

Thank you for the mod!

Hi, does it work for Lem or needs updating? Thanks for this mod btw!

I have another mod that changes some glaxy stuff like size. The problem: i do not know which mod . no mod does directly and only that so some mod does it as an extra. if i make this mod the last in my load order does it stil take effect?

I was looking for a mod that would let me put the habitable world gen at 0 but this will do. I mean 0.0625 is pretty much the same as flat 0 gameplay wise.

likely won't work with infinite stellaris framework

SIMPLE AND GREAT, THANKS

Hi People,
After doing some tests on equal terms using another mod to have access to the information of habitable planets and colonies in the galaxy I can say that ..
.
On the total of planets the effectiveness of this mod is 50% (not 75%) if you do NOT use the planetary diversity mods
If you use planetary diversity mods the efficiency is reduced to 25% (I imagine will be confused with some of them, such as exotics, etc)
Cheers!

@Wewei can confirm that this works, turned it into a extremely small number and there are no habitable worlds anymore apart from the event ones, it also reduces the non habitable planets that can be terraformed.

I think I found out how it works, copy and test it, the way is:

C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ steamapps \ workshop \ content \ 281990 \ 1924953804 \ map \ setup_scenarios

The original line is this:

colonizable_planet_odds = 0.25

If you want / 8 just put:

colonizable_planet_odds = 0.125

If you want / 16 just put:

colonizable_planet_odds = 0.0625

So on.

Please if you test, mark me and tell me the results.

For people having problems. I figured out why the mod doesn't work for me. I'm using larger than vanilla galaxy sizes, whereas this mod is tied to normal, vanilla sizes.

Dude I need your help! Either the mod doesn't work or it needs to be even less than /4. Where in the mod files do I chance that value??
Could the mod be in conflict with planetary diversity addons and those mods:
Archaelogy Story Pack, Precursor Story Pack, Gullis Planet Modefiers and Features, More Events Mod??
Pls help :.( I want to have fewer habitable planets and play with planetary diversity, I will sell you my soul!!!

I agree with TakaraYukari: a 1/8 would be cool so that building habitats and using terraforming candidates becomes necessary

2.8.1?

I need even less habitable planets, maybe 1/8 or even 16/1.

It works with 2.8.1?

Will this mod work with other galaxy parameter changing mods if loaded as last? The way I see it, the mod that is loaded last should override mods that were loaded earlier.

@Eloquent Paradox Yes, this is exactly it. Like I said there are special systems or special planets, unique planets in this game, that are detatched form normal planet count during a galaxy generation. Planetary Diversity literally says in the paragraph you quoted, that this mod adds special planets to this game, that will affect the planet count of the galaxy. It also literally says, that aside from these special planets, the planet spawning is untouched. Because special planets are not connected to normal planet count.

There is just no connection, and there is nothing I can do about that. The galaxy generation files specify a planet count, but this planet count does not include special planets, like the description of PD itself says. It's the PD mod that adds these special planets, I don't own that mod, I can't remove them.

For me i doesnt seem to work, playing on a mdeium galaxy with 0.25x planets, i get like ~150 planets ca.
im also using planetary iversity, real space, and some other mods

Yeah, I'm not sure then. The only other mod I was using during my tests were UI Overhaul. To be honest I did kind of rush them, so the counts were not exact (hence the -ish modifiers), but there was definitely a discrepancy in the numbers.

Could it be this "On a tiny map, there will be 0-3 and on an extra-large map, there will be around 20 extra planets. Aside from the rare/special planets spawning is untouched", from PD mod page, which seems to state his mod will generate extra planets?

Either way, your mod definitely has an effect with or without PD, not complaining at all. Awesome work.

@Eloquent Paradox I just ran a test myself.
On a 400 star galaxy, 0.25x setting.

Just my mod: only 9 non-special habitable planets. (there are special systems that will always spawn planets, because they are unique. Like the cluster of dead worlds, with like 6 or 9 dead worlds, or 4 guaranteed holy gaia worlds when a spiritualist Fallen Empire is there)

Then I tested the same with PD and my mod, and there were exactly 9 non-special habitable planets as well.

I don't know your testing methods, but I can assure you that PD uses absolutely no "map" files. These are the files that specify galaxy generation, the ones this mod alters.
There is no conflict between these two mods.

Maybe PD has more of these special unique systems? That would be noticable on larger galaxies, yes. But then I can't do anything about that.

*PD not PL lol

Ran a few tests:

With this mod+planetary diversity = 130ish planets
Planetary Diversity on it's own = 180ish planets
this mod on its own = 65ish planets
no mods = 120ish planets

Did all this on 800 star galaxy, setting to 0.25 habitable planets with and without this mod enabled.

I'm not a modder, so I couldn't tell you what's going on, but it seems like PL increases the amount of planets that spawn, therefore negating your own?

Is there a way to instantly count planets using the console so I can check this mod is working?

when i use them spam habtible planets. Sorry , maby is other thing

@Nero Sima Planetary Diversity changes nothing about galaxy set-up. There is no conflict between these mods.
