There is a nice guide on how-to here: https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/index.php?title=Modding_tutorial

@idkynot: Use the PDX module to create a new mod, call it what you like.
Use github to download the complete egs mod
extract the mod zip from github into the directory for your new mod. Inside your mods directory should be a "common" and "events" folder.

I had to disable it because 4.0 broke everything, I will be looking at fixing it, but it is going to be close enough to vanilla that it will require Federations now.

I am not seeing the ring world start?

hey so uh how do i install a github mod on stellaris?-_-

Scroll through the comments for a link to my github on the last 3.14 version.

legacy version pls (3.14)

which really sucks

tried it didn't work
however now i think the problem may be that i'm trying to use the mod on 3,14

ok

So that sounds like the mod is completely stuffed and not working, try unsubbing and resubbing to make sure steam hasn't wrecked you.

ignore the third thing i figured it out

2 issues:
1) my population and vessels(science,construction and military) do not get moved to the cluster
2)no wormhole spawns in the cluster
also how does the op system work

You could hack it in relatively easily, offhand I have no idea how the starting relic world copes with no farming districts.
You can probably console command it by waiting until the move has happened then using the effect change_pc = pc_relic followed by effect reroll_plant = yes

Am I going to add it: no, as non-standard starts require a lot of coding to work and maintain in the general case.

How difficult code wise would it be to add relic worlds as part of your starting system options? I like to rp as the remnants of a fallen empire the defended the galaxy from the last crisis and formed this final bastion separate from the galaxy and feel relic world would fit rp wise. I usually console command the rubricator into the cluster but always feel cheaty doing that

You can combine this with the multiple origins mod, just be aware that the 'extra' origin decisions aren't comprehensive, so you can't combine this with just anything and things can get a bit...weird. Should work fine with stuff like Riftworld and Starlit Citadel at the very least.

any way to start in a isolated cluster but take another origin ?

@ferguson interesting and unexpected, I'm glad you solved it,

@Myyddraal You can't anymore, they were increasingly broken, when we got to 4.0 I would have needed to completely redo them (they were almost entirely the original code from the Extragalactic clusters mod) so I have removed the functionality entirely.

I am hopeful that in future I will be able to re-add Ringworld and Void Dweller home systems without many vanilla overrides, but if I do they will be locked behind Federations DLC as they will operate like PDX origins, not like my custom ones.

also, maybe i'm missing something, but how do i get other clusters to spawn in?

I was having trouble with dying on day 2 using the gigastructural engineering, some trait mods and this. By putting the mod to the end of the load order it is solved.

You are a gentleman and a scholar.

Basic version update to 4.0.15 is now up.

There may be continued tomfoolery around the planetary administration building and you get occasional unemployed pops on the move.

Day 2 death on Ocean and arctic worlds. Luckily have a day 4 save on one of them to restart (EHOF glitched and bombed me with notifications)

@Draconas Thank you ever so much, this is the single most important mod for me !!

Thanks all

4.0.15 has made a crap ton of changes including changing syntax on several script commands. It's like 4.0 all over again. Which is a bit rude for a minor patch.

It's broken a bunch of my mods and while I didn't see anything in the patch notes that should break egs your experiences tell me that they did.

I don't have time to look at anything until the weekend and will try to get a fix up as soon as I can.

+1 report, death on day 2 when using a Continental (Forest) world start.

same for me, game starts normal and my empire is killed when the move is supposed to happen, this is after the 40015 update....

i keep dying even without special planets on day 2. I'm on continent, just regular continent world.

Ah well, thanks for looking!

Ok, I've had a look at the code:
Astral rifts do not spawn in what is known as the "empire cluster" which is a tag put on the nearby stars to a starting system. This basically indicates to the game "do not do screwy stuff in these systems because it can screw over a player"
Your extra galactic cluster systems all count as empire cluster, so ithout overriding vanilla rifts are going to have to be like precursors and stay in the main galaxy.

Thanks!

ooooh, unusual, I will have a look.

Thanks for this mod! Is it possible to get astral rifts to spawn naturally? They don't seem to appear in the cluster at all.

Hey. First of all, love the mod. I've been looking for something similar and so far only the EHOF start offers that, but it comes with its own plethora of bugs.
Second, is it possible to have larger clusters than what we already have? I usually play on huge galaxies so the clusters turn out pretty small.

Update today:
Got pops moving again, so no longer lose their traits
Your fleets of bio ships will now also get moved
Capital building sorting now works for machines and hives.

This weekend I will investigate ringworld starts, but with the ringworld changes I might end up giving up and using the vanilla one, which will DLC lock ringworlds behind Federations.

PDX has also updated void dwellers such that it operates out of some triggers and based on flags now rather than checking the origin, so I will have a gander about if i can add habitats back. They will also be DLC locked if I do.

@Nyx For me the crash on Day 5 was caused by a conflict with NSC. I do not know why.

biodrones/beastmaster civic

Sub species, yep that's a bug, I had to swap back to pop creation because the move pops command has been removed in 4.0. Will ask around for a work around.

Not a clue about the amobea, because I just teleport all your ships. What civic? I'll try to figure out why if it's not caught in the move code.

It also kills your Amoeba on transfer if you selected the civic that gives you domesticated space Amoeba rather than normal ships and theres no way to get them back until you can capture new ones in the mid game

It doesn't keep the subspecies upon transferring to the cluster. Meaning if you play a rogue servitor and have some custom biotrophies with traits for your build... well say goodbye to them and hope you're happy with randomly generated biotrophies

Ok nevermind, I removed some other random mods and now it works so this mod doesn't seem to be the Problem. Sorry for the disturbance.

Hello, I am running into the problem that the game just ends after I unpause. When I go into the game I set the settings in the selection dialouge and then unpause the game. It then lags for a couple of seconds (which is expected) and then it just goes to the game over screen.

I am using a couple of other mods, but none of them should change anything about the starting Planet so I don't think that's it (I initally played with planetary diversity but removing it didn't fix it either). When I go into spectator mode it also seems like the Planet that I was supposed to be moved on did generate, but I just don' get moved (but I'm not completly sure about that)

My Settings:
Hex Cluster
Gigastructural Stars: yes
Guaranteed strategic resources
L-Gate connection
random star system
default distance modifier fix setting

which, happy (unsurprising) news, the 3.14 version still works!

Not sure if I did, but it stopped crashing after I removed one or two mods...and also backdated to 3.14 :P

No worries hope you find the culprit!

nevermind, testing without this even installed shows it's not this mod

Hexagon, Random Trinary, Guaranteed Resources, Wormhole, No Gigastructures Stars

ran through it a second time and it was reliable at day 5, interesting

interestingly, after successfully moving to the Hexagon cluster on day 1, the game crashed after ~day 5. unsure if it was 100% related to this mod, since I do have others and some that are old, but, worth noting I think

Afraid so, 2 of them were completely broken, as in not spawning correctly anymore, the rest flooded the error log.
