Ancient Astronauts

This is a scenario mod that adds an end-goal to the game as well as reason to explore planets and interact with NPCs.

Enigmatic ancient temples were discovered on planets in star system which are rumored to posses advanced alien artifacts. Players goal is to visit every temple and collect all of the artifacts. The catch - exact locations of the temples are not known. Fortunately there are many explorers in the system who are trying to find these same temples as well, so you should be able to get GPS coordinates exploring onboarded ships and installations of other factions. Each planet seems to have 3 temples placed around the planet. Due to being ancient most of them are covered in sedimental layer, so player will have to dig to find them.


1. Create a new custom game, choose Star System (or create custom star system)
2. Add this mod to mods
3. Add NPC mods of your choice
4. Add any additional mods you prefer
⚠ There might be compatibility issues with various mods. Check Known Issues section and recommended collection for tested mods. Add other mods at your own risk. ⚠
5. Start the game

Quest log should appear showing the progress of the mission. Press "|" to toggle visibility of questlog.


Both vanilla and custom systems can be used for this scenario. The only condition - all planets must be added to the game before adding this mod. Recommended amount of planets for this scenario is 8-12. (vanilla system has 8 planets)


This scenario can be played on fully vanilla game, but having several MES mods is highly recommended. You will need to explore lots of NPC ships/installations to find the coordinates to the temples. Also selecting NPC mods allows to make this scenario as hard or easy as you prefer. Some balanced and tested mods are added to recommended mods collection.


- ⚠ Game crashes/Questlog appears empty if "Hud Compass" mod is used!
- ⚠ Compatability issues with "Sleep Mod" have been reported
- Spiders from "Infestation Enabled" does not move when spawned inside temple.
