Tested for version 3.2.*
Untested for no DLC

====================================================
About:

A now standalone mod of two really old mods which basically does the following:
– Scale the galaxy to a more "plausible" scale in which ships and planets are sized just about right to produce the scale and grandeur of the planets and stars.
– Properly scaled Megastructures to correspond to the new scaling.
– The scale is mostly x9 the normal scaling for assets.

FAQ

Can I request compatibility patches?
Unfortunately I can only support a small number of mods. You are free to pitch in the mod you want supported but I cannot guarantee its compatibility support.

Is it Compatible with XYZ Mod?
Check on the compatibility patches on the above list. If its not compatible, then check if the mod adds/changes planets/stars/megastructures. Mods that don’t change or add planets/stars/megastructures or edit the defines scaling should be safe with this mod.

Can you adjust this mod specifically the XYZ parts?
No, this mod was originally designed for my own preference so sorry about that. But you are free to edit the mod at your own leisure.

Is it save game compatible?
No, although it will work for the most part, any saves that didn’t use this mod beforehand will encounter issues when loading this mod late in the playthrough. The issues you will encounter will mostly come down to megastructure scaling, particle scaling, and some off change planets or stars will be out of scale.

Can I request a mod?
No, unless its a patch for a mod then maybe.

It doesn’t work!
Calm down and tell me whats wrong and what doesn’t work.

Incompatibilities:

– Any mod that tweaks Galaxy scaling at defines.
– Any mod that overrides vanilla gfx files for planets/stars/megastructures
– Real Space (I tried to support the mod but the mod has rescaled some planets/stars too big that when converted to the scaling I use, it just encompasses the entire system. Real Space can work with this mod but it will have visual bugs.)
– Shipsets that have its own custom megastructure models.
– Custom Megastructures/Stations/Planets/Stars that do not use existing vanilla mesh files.

Credits to valindor, PapaLanda, Trebor, Renegade Prime, csrr, and FLSoz for testing out the mod and reporting most of the bugs/issues

Known Bugs/Issues:

– The fleets go through the stars and the stations are built inside them. (Can’t really do much unless I rescale the stars or further edit the galaxy gen files which would cause alot more incompatibilities)
– Please report if any and list the mods you are using with the mod to speed up the process.
– Real Space has innate problems with scaling as some planets are way too close and some entities just don’t work well with the new scale without modifying the original mod too much.
– Nameplates for some Entities will be way below. This is a unsolvable issue as far as I know due to the engine unable to account for the scaling this mod uses.
