Description:

This is a starting system for your custom empire. Like the sealed system in Distant Stars, it’s separated from the hyperlane network, with only a wormhole connection (automatically accessible to you) to an adjacent system. To use it, simply select "Isolated System" when choosing the system for your custom empire to spawn in. The system is modelled off of (read: directly ripped off from) the Random Unary II system, but that can be changed if it proves unpopular. Compatible with both 2.2.5 and 2.2.6. Feedback, questions, and requests are welcome!

Update:
  • By request, I’ve added an isolated Sol system. In the system selection it’s called, you guessed it, "Isolated Sol".
  • The wormhole is now only accessible to other empires if they have Wormhole Stabilization researched.
  • Added Isolated Cluster.
    • Revamp released! Essentially Life-Seeded+. For more information, check change notes.
  • Isolated Deneb system for all you Commonwealth of Man players.

For more detailed updates, check the change notes for the releases! I finally figured out that that’s a thing.

BUGS/TODO:
  • I think I’ve solved the wormhole spawning issue, but further testing is always warranted. I’m going to rule this one as fixed, subject to revision if I receive reports to the contrary.
  • Feature requests? Feature requests!
    • Isolated ringworld system (normal inaccessible wormhole)
    • Self-isolated Fallen Empire. I’m thinking maybe an Inward Perfection theme.

    Bug reports encouraged!
