@Ceph is fixed now, no idea how this happend again. The pinned Topic has no link to the manual anyway but only explains how to proceed when you find Sol

Trying to read the manual: The Owner has deleted the file. And in the pinned topic there also isnt a link :/

@navycruiser since apparently it works for everybody else, there is little I can say on the matter as I not know whats going on at your side...

It doesn't show in my modifications

@Uberknight72 fixed? accidentally moved it prematurely as update is in works

The manual is saying its in your trash to I cant either see a preview of it or download it :(

@USAM-Falcon thnx man, glad you have a good time with it

@Siddha thank you for kind words !

Thank you for the response Chris Gbau. I will keep that in mind. Still, amazing mod.

Wow this looks great... well done sir

@Bruce Wayne - its playable yes, Anniversary Update had very minor changes to the XML files, however - I have couple additions play-testing right now, if all ok will upload new version tomorrow night

is this up to date with the anniversary update?

@Navy~ thnx man

great mod mate!

@USAM-Falcon Sol is always inside a gravitation storm, this is how the game is designed.
Initially you need Ion shield on your explorer and on all ships you want to send there.

Thank you Falcon. Unfortunately there is this engine limitation that the Sol System with his own gravitation storm could randomly be spawned inside a bigger anomaly which defeats a core mechanic and goal of the mod. Therefore it is advised to use the lowest preset for Anomalies so the chance this happen is very low but still can screw a game.
Maybe sometime in the future the devs add a error-handling to avoid this but I wouldn't hold my breath over it.

I like the idea of the Mod, cannot wait to try it again. First time, sadly, Sol was next to a storm, destroying all ships so I had to restart. It is cool that you had a real Sol, as I was always annoyed there never was one. I also had to make my own custom one

This is basically a standalone scenario! Its not compatible with any other mod and its not meant to be.

Is this compatible with the XL mod?

But this is....fantastic See the player not steamrolling its neighbors is a great improvement over vanilla in my book. The steel issue...well..I think should not start in a harsh home system and get as much steel mining going as possible asap as costs. Its interesting though as I yet have to encounter AI races that come with bigger ships at me than I have. However..super heavy frigates and heavy(super heavy destroyers can take on bigger ships in melee. RNG is always a thing in strategy games. I wish Galaxy creation could be influenced somehow...

Here is my issue(s) with Vanilla, you are at the mercy of the RNG. I had plenty of worlds to colonize. But, a drastic shortage of research points except for Sensor and Industrial where I had plenty. I spent game years unable to build a mine as I lacked steel.


Leader churn was lethal...
First leader swap - lost general and scientist (still early not critical)
2808 - 6th Leader, lost 4th and only Scientist. Scientist would be replaced soon, but skill-less leader and scientist, no Generals, one skilled Admiral.
Essentially no characters at all

With no advanced Science I am tech gated from almost all t3 techs

Flagships, lol, a million years from even consideration with being locked from the ship techs.

Mort neighbor declared war. They had Cruisers, I had basic Destroyers.

Nothing against your Mod, I see it as having great potential and some truly clever ideas. It is just the game behind it that I had issues with. :) Spoiled by too much XL I guess, lol

Will update to Anniversary Update on weekend. Mod still should work fine in the meantime as from the beta I have not seen any dramatic changes that would make a noticeable difference.
Most changes are in the .exe itself

but with other gov you not get the additional elements like control mining ships/corporate navy/ sense of unity event/flagship etc. It literally is designed to use Terran Republic dropped you a friends request, need tell me about Perry Rhodan in the US lmao, I have a complete series till 2600 or so, in German language of course.

Works fine for me.
Not your issue, I forgot how much I hate Republics. Rapid Leader changes, taking other Chars with them. No experienced chars sucks. LOL
Restarting as a better Govt. :)

but--how could I know ? You either lack any of the DLC or you on beta branch?!

I crash when I start a new game do happen to know why

Okay, it was just that the same tech being allowed and disallowed. LOL

The component ID for the Medium Starfighter Bay is the same in both branches. You just unlock a different fighter with it. This is vanilla stuff. I have not touched on this further. Only renamed the component to Starfighter Bay M. Still few inconsistency's in the tech tree. This comes from the Devs adding the human fighter branch later.

Pre-game, potential point of confusion
Terran Tech - Starfighter Bay M
Disallowed Tech - Starfighter Bay M

Consider renaming the Terran M bay?

Thank you for the clarification.
Will start a game shortly

Everything is functional, nothing has been disabled but due to the massive changes to human construction chart and other areas, of which some confuse the AI, it would make human AI race fail for sure, you could exclude it though.
However you get the buffs from AI races too if you play Ikkuro or any other race and thus become easily total OP. Personally I don't find that too interesting.

I was thinking of a generic version maybe later on where one can play any race without getting their current buffs but need take a good break and only play some games every once in a while, this was an incredibly intense project.

I know this is intended to be Human only, but are the other races viable?
With limits to Independents, are the Storylines disabled. So, Ikkuro don't deal with the Web of Destiny. or Teekan don't deal with Bartuc/Horazon?
Will give it a start likely tomorrow! Looks good.

Okay thank you. I did read the manual I was just confused with that specific part.

Read the manual!!! Include one of each Race but Do NOT include the Shakturi! They are flagged playable so they would become accessible thru the game editor.

Question, when starting the game and adding races, do we need to include the shakturi and other races that have not been released in a DLC? Just noticed that they are able to be added.

I've been waiting for a mod like this for a while now, I'll give it a go!

Looks nice! Especially happy to see this mod as I pretty much only play human.

I liked Terran, now i get terran story mod yeah!
