Description:

This mod spreads empires evenly across the galaxy.

For the main mod that is kept up to date with the most recent version of Stellaris go to http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=687226658

Make sure clusters are enabled when you create your game, as the mod uses that functionality.

Original Description
—–

This mod spreads empires uniformly throughout the galaxy.

On the Game Details screen, make sure "Empire Placement" is set to "Clusters." This mod functions by changing the cluster mechanic, so it will only work with clustered empire placement enabled. The mod will have no effect if this setting is set to "Random."

The mod is unlikely to be compatible with any mod that affects the galaxy map, including number of stars. Specifically, the mod is incompatible with any mod that edits the base galaxy map file (map/galaxy/base.txt) or any of the galaxy size files (map/setup_scenarios). If you want to use an incompatible mod, I recommend making local edits to that other mod: explanation of how to do this can be found in the pinned discussions.

Updated for 1.9 and is very likely to work for future patches without a mod update, but mod updates will continue to come if only for the compatibility flag.

There are old versions of the mod available for earlier versions of Stellaris:

This mod also makes the following 2 slight changes:

Allows you to select 0 empires on the Game Details screen à la Singleplayer Mod by oriramikad. You can ignore this if you wish, it only affects the clamping of the slider.

Allows you to select more than the standard number of fallen empires. You can ignore this if you wish, it only affects the clamping of the slider.

The screenshots featured above are almost but not perfectly accurate. In the current version of the mod, empires do not spawn along the outer edge of the galaxy (specifically the outer 20% of the galaxy radius).

Prior to 1.8.2 there was a known issue with Fallen Empires not spawning in Ring galaxies when the number of empires is set too high. Fallen Empires will have enough room to spawn if the number of empires is reduced by about 30% from the default.
