3 years and still no update :( maybe another moder could do this?

Doesn't work with current version, really needs an update, quick games without this mod are painful.

plans to update?

With 3.0 out, I'm hoping this mod is not abandoned and that we'll get an update soon.

Does it need an update for 2.8 or is it functional as is?

Updated for version 2.7.*

This is very useful for testing mods. Thanks!

What happens if you do a start with no AI empires, just a ton of primitive civs?

Just tested out this mod and its been fantastic so far with the random territory set up, but there's a slight bug/feature? where you can start with colonies on fallen empire holy worlds. Not really a problem, just pointing it out.

Absolutely love how this changes the game. A must-have.

Your mod is probably the most important mod I ever downloaded for this game. Cheers!

@Everyone who is having problems running/updating the mod:
If you have issues it is not because of the mod it is because of the new Stellaris game launcher that not properly detects when a mod is updated. I hope Paradox will fix this soon ...

To fix this do the following steps:
1. Make sure your Stellaris game launcher is closed
2. Delete mod files from "steamappsworkshopcontent281990"
3. Delete mod files from "DocumentsParadox InteractiveStellarismod"
4. Delete file "mods_registry.json" from "\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris".
5. Unsubscribe/Resubscripe mod in steam.
6. Start Stellaris game launcher, enable mods (no issues should appear in game launcher)
7. Start the game, play the mods & have fun :)

This is a very good mod. Especially for people like me who don't have enough time, thank you

Now this mod is a blessing.
The ability to skip the unreasonably boring early game is by all means invaluable.

"is all tech are reseached?"

Nope, and nope. You get a random sized patch of space (see above), all your mines are built, except for exotic resources because no (or very little) tech is researched. You also have to send ships to build the research stations. You get several construction and science ships, a handful of corvettes, and several planets (depending on empire size) colonized with a handful of pops each. Also, a decent sized starting amount of main resources, and most will be in the plus, but something might be a negative monthly production (energy or minerals, etc...) so you have to start... you know... managing your empire.

David - Yes, the history part of the story. That's what I like about this - you can roleplay something like the hero that's brought in to rescue the flailing empire after someone else who was running it was found to be doing a poor job of that.

"Any chance for a version that spawns the player with fewer systems than the other nations?..."


First, I experimented a little bit: If you set up all the parameters of your game (galaxy size, number of empires, etc..), the start the game, then immediately exit to the main menu, and start a new game with the same empire and settings you just had, you can do it over and over... you get a different sized chunk of territory each time. One time it's huge, another it's tiny, sometimes it's roughly an even slice of the pie. The randomosity factor is kind of cool, actually. Which brings me to my next comment:

Is there a version of this that skips the player empire?

is all tech are reseached?

Nice idea!

Oh damn. This is a big peepee mod. Everything I could have ever wanted from Stellaris.

Do origins work with this mod? Like would voiddwellers get habitats instead of planets as colonies?

@Toast Yeah that would be coll if someone made that
=

how well does this mod play with other mods?

@nelliel This goes a bit beyond advanced empires.

So this pretty much turns you into an advanced empire?

Any chance for a version that spawns the player with fewer systems than the other nations? It would be really interesting to be able to play as a galactic minor.

Possible to have another version that lets it so some empires start of big while others start small instead of kinda the same each? Like one mod once made it so advance AI have different levels so to speak of advance so it felt like you where in a game with some "History" so to speak. Otherwise though this looks great.

the only downside I see to this is missing out on anomalies

What a nice idea

Works together with custom game settings.

Shame. Just one step away from perfection.

@Hellfire If the mod is enabled in your game launcher it will do it on every new game start. So you need to "toggle" in launcher by enable/disable the mod.

Is it a toggle or does every single game start under this mod's premises?
