thanks!

You don't have to add me as a contributor or anything like that, this was all fairly simple to do, and anyone is welcome to use the files here as a reference for their own stuff.

okay, I'm makeing a mod that adds in a bunch of new empires, so I am removeing default ones.

I used this mod as a refference to find how to remove them, I'm assuming that's okay, as it's so simple. (I technically copied the "code", but it's the kind of thing that there is only one way to do it. So, if I had used the internet I would have done the same, except for 00_, which would have, well, I posibly never would have found it!)

I will, of course, credit you, and should I add you as a contriputer?

Just wanted to check that it's okay. If not, I can remove it...

@Not a Tomato if it were me it would be that one stupid fungus one that looks suggestive...

Update??

@Boshty - What empire could upset you so much?

im SOOOO fuckin thankful for this. my endless, god damn eternal rival has finally jogged on to a different galaxy than me. i was losing my mind seeing him in every new run! my game id was cursed or something lmao. i just booted up a new run.... GONE. HES GONE. GONE!!!!! :D

For everyone unable to read it removes DEFAULT TEMPLATE EMPIRES not RANDOM.

Hi! There are 3 new Machine Age races to be removed :)

What a joke. Its paradoxs fault..

forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/stellaris-federated-theian-preserver-spawing-despite-restrictions-3-9-2-f7e4.1600103/

Federated Theian Preservers keep spawning in every game

Also getting some default empires spawning on 3.11.1

I still have random empire, but i was thinking does this mod work for 1500 , 2000, 2500 stars map ?

Hi,
I still have random empires appear. Am I doing something wrong?

Whoops! I forgot to drag a file over before uploading, sorry about that! Updated it again, so it should be good now

Hi, just wanted to make you aware that 3 default empires are still appearing despite the mod being enabled, that being "Voor Technocracy" "Roccan Resistance" and "Free Peoples of the Fall". I also made sure it wasn't on my end and disabled all other mods except this one.

Should be good to go now, let me know if there are any issues

No hurry. Take your time ^^

It'll probably be tomorrow or Sunday until I can do it, but I'll try to get that out as soon as I can

Another update - another empire(s) in the list. A small update would be appreciated. Thanks in advance :D

Latest mod update seemed to of fixed it.

Thank you kindly, should be good to go now.

In new game update, does not remove 3 Default empires.

No clue unfortunately, this mod doesn't do anything except remove the default empires, it doesn't change anything about empire/galaxy generation

ok so i tried this, and then checked with observe, and while this mod removes defaults from the menu, there are still random empires that spawn at the start of the game replacing my own force spawned creations. Any ideas how to remove this from happening so it is only my customs?

im gonna try this mod. i made lots of custom empires, but for some reason even with force spawn they are still replaced by default empires. i made enough custom empires for every AI empire slot in a galaxy with 18 ai empires, but not all of those slots are filled with my custom artworks and they are filled with defaults from paradox, which i would like to dispose of.

Not as far as I'm aware, if there is it would likely require some scripting if I had to guess, and I have no experience with that in regards to Stellaris.

The only way I know of to make them not show up is to empty the text files that contain the default empires, but doing so effectively deletes them from the game, so they can't spawn.

Is there any way to make is so that they are only removed from the menu, but still generate within the galaxy?

Should be good now, just needed to update the version number, nothing else was changed

Is this going to be updated?

brilliant mod.

total life saver, I have a ton of custom empires I made, but they kept being overridden by the default trash, this way I can lock them all down :D

yep, it removes them from the menu by emptying the respective default empire files, so as far as the game is concerned they don't exist

thanks for the update bud. quick question about the mod. This clears out the menu of empires from the new game screen, does this also remove these empires from ever populating in the galaxy?

Thanks for the heads up, mod is updated

3.7 (or maybe it was First Contact) added some new default empires.

no matter what i do i can only get 6 of my costume empires to spawn. :(
i loaded this mod and set my empires to forced

Kudos <3

Alright, uploaded again, should be good to go this time, not getting anymore crashing on my end.

No problem! Think I got the file fixed anyways, still not sure *why* emptying the file's contents like all the others made the game crash, but I can accomplish the same result a different way that doesn't seem to be causing issues yet. Gonna test a little more then reupload

Cool, thanks for the quick response:)

Hmmm, seems editing 00_top_countries.txt is causing the game to crash sometimes, I pulled that back out for now, though I left default.txt in as that doesn't seem to be causing any issues

Crashes my game on start, whether or not combined with other mods. Any idea as to why?

Alright, posted an update, I think I figured out what was wrong, I was missing a file from the vanilla stuff in the mod files. For anyone who had the same issue, it should work now, but if you still get those two empires try unsubbing and resubbing just in case.

@Mura Hey, sure, please accept an invite

@Ronin Hmmm, can you export your playset and send me a DM through Steam? I can try and replicate the issue on my end with your mod setup and see if I can figure out what's causing it.

Thank you for this, works perfectly!

Or more like humanoid start is limited afaik

@Mura It's the latest version, United Nations of Earth and Commonwealth of Man. I suppose if i play custom Sol system Humanoid empire they will not spawn anyway since Sol spawn is unique?
