Here's my question: Where the heck did you get the Crab Nebula and its pulsar?

it's a mod that adds a new earth system, the two mods worked fine before and i was able to get the author of the other mod to add the required star systems that trigger this mods systems to spawn and the last update they did removed the systems out of fear of duplicate earth spawns, they then refused to make their mod compatible and said id be better off requesting you to make yours work with their mod instead

Apparently it's some sort of Japanese content mod, I can't speak Japanese so I don't understand any of it

Dimensional Time Fault, apparently. Never heard of it before.

@authentic_tincan DTF?

hello again, during the update process, the mod became unusable with the DTF mod, could you make a fix?

@PLMMJ It was still being updated when I made this mod; there hasn't been any need to remove that compatibility in the years since.

Why do keep compatibility with a mod that hasn't been updated in 4 years?

Hi. Is there a way that I can set the custom neighbouring systems as the starting system for forced spawn custom empires?

Thanks

I have a better idea, a separate mod, that way you dont have to worry about breaking the rule, and it can be used in conjunction with this one for those who want a realistic galaxy

i guess i'll just add my list to the mod myself, since its not that hard to do

@authentic_tincan As a rule, I don't add nebulae unless there's a semi-famous star at its heart. I have the Crab Nebula and the Carina Nebula; probably won't add more anytime soon. Still, thanks for the suggestion!

yes, I was hoping you would ask, I have a list of real Nebula that I made in hopes that you could add it to the mod under the nebula names

@authentic_tincan Can you be more specific?

greetings again friend, I come with a suggestion for you, adding the most notable Nebula to the mod

@kinexxona Check the change notes. ;)

Possible update?

@B-loeber This mod does overwrite the file that defines star names, so they'll be the vanilla ones if you use this mod. Unless you swap the load order with the other mod you're using.

would this mod override systems with numbers like fx-332? have a bigger galaxy mod running but im tired of seeing numbers and not names on the systems :)

Ok cool, thanks

@Spy from team fortress 2 (Real) I do have a mod called Supernova - Cosmic Fury , and it can select this mod's Betelgeuse as a supernova candidate. :) As for Sirius, it has planets in vanilla (including one of the prescripted colony sites for the UNE) so I'm leaving it as is.

Can betelgeuse have a 1% chance of supernova within the next thousand years of a stellaris game? Also Sirus has no planets in orbit because it was blown away by one of the stars supernova

I found the issue, when the DTF origin is selected, it adds its own sol sector called "DTF SOL" and only spawn the direct solar neighbors

I have cyberxkhans namelist mod could that be causing a conflict?
ive had earth custodean spawn and dead sol spawn with more stars from the list

@an_authentic_tincan They seem to spawn correctly on my end. Not all these stars are guaranteed to spawn, but a bunch should, especially on larger galaxies.

I hate to bug you again, but in my travels only the close to sol stars seemed to spawn with the Yamato Reborn earth mod, is that something you can look into or is that something the other mod would have to fix?

@Connacht Given the random nature of Stellaris' galaxy generation, and the small size of its maps, these requests would be extremely difficult to pull off with any degree of accuracy. And I don't want to spawn too many real systems around Sol for fear of crowding out the game's own unique systems (for example, abandoned megastructures and primitives). This could be better achieved by creating a static map like that used in Star Trek: New Horizons, but it's out of the scope for a relatively small mod like this.

I have two requests:

1) Force spawn Sol in-between two spiral arms of the in-game galaxy map. This would roughly represent its real placement in Orion's Spur. Otherwise, the game might place it in a random position, even near the galactic core or at the end of an arm.

2) Arrange the placement of close systems so that they roughly match their real position relative to the Sun from above: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearest_stars_and_brown_dwarfs#/media/File:Angular_map_of_fusors_around_Sol_within_12ly.png
For example, Epsilon Eridani is on the opposite side from Alpha Centauri (I'm ignoring the Z axis now as in the image), but in-game nothing prevents it from spawning one hyperlane away beyond Alpha Centauri.

There is actually a third request but it's just an extension of the second: some of the systems in your list are not marked as "spawns close to Sol", such as Altair or Van Maanen's. But if it's possible to implement 2), then it would be possible to sort other systems.

@an_authentic_tincan Done!

@an_authentic_tincan Can you post a link to the mod? I can't seem to find it in the workshop.

I was able to get the creator of the Space Battle Yamato DTF Sol mod to add the base game human star systems, can you see if this mod can be made compatible with it now?

@Gatzek Fixed, thanks!

@mzilli In the Barnard solar system, the name of the star appears as NAME_Barnard's_Star

@an_authentic_tincan It looks like it should be compatible already? The Sol neighbors won't spawn but that's because they rely on Barnard's Star being present, which is left out in that mod's Sol system.

can you make it compatable with the Dimensional Time Fault earth mod?

@Nikolai301000 I don't see why not.

Would this mod be compatible with mods that add more galaxy sizes?

@feder Probably not, sorry.

achievements?

@mzilli Thanks for the great mod. In my opinion much better and more interesting than Real Space. Well done.

I have a very strange and unusual error. If I run Stellaris ONLY with this one mod then after selecting an empire and starting a new game a crash to desktop occurs. If I use this mod together with my whole collection (~80 mods) everything works fine. Isn't there some hidden dependency in this mod? Can anyone confirm this error?

@Sensei Wu Probably not, in reality Epsilon Eridani is too young to have habitable planets.

@Gatzek The mods don't clash with one another so you can use any order.

Does this mod load above or below Settled Solar Systems and Distant Origin? Or is it indifferent?

for epsilon eridani can you add reach and tribute?

@ClockworkC0rvus Putting Trappist close to Sol would be a bit overpowered, imo. Humans have it good enough as it is. :P And I can't control where player-Sol spawns on the map, unfortunately. If they add that functionality in the future I may consider it.

And perhaps have Sol put in an accurate galaxy position, too? Look at any map of the milky way and its in the "mid rim" of the lower section of the galaxy, in the Orion Spur.

What about Trappist 1? Could you make it so its guaranteed to spawn near Sol too? The system is already in the base game, it just doesn't seem to be a constant.

Not sure if this is caused by this mod, but I sometimes have several star systems with same name. These systems are always with names that this mod adds. In my curent game, Epsilon Eridani spawned three times and several others twice. Has anyone encountered this?
