Description:

Does NOT require Gigastructural Engineering, but will work fine with it.

A small mod I originally made for personal use, adding the various systems from Gigastructural Engineering as possible starting initializers, as well as the mod’s various flags.

The starting systems can be used by your custom empires. They will otherwise not spawn naturally.

The flags are also only usable by players.

This mod does NOT feature any gameplay elements. Aside from some systems sometimes having more than one habitable world, there are no extra modifiers or events associated to them.

It also features extra textures for Flusion to ensure it keeps its continents regardless of starting planet class (They will be dynamically applied on planetclass change). See picture gallery for a showcase of them.

List of Systems

Gatzo (Paluushia Start) – Start on Paluushia. Nienet is a tomb world. Katzenland and Potradus have Terraforming Candidate. If Gigastructural Engineering is enabled, Katzenland will be an Irradiated Desert World and have its digsite.

Gatzo (Katzenland Start) – Start on Katzenland. Nienet is a tomb world. Potradus has Terraforming Candidate. If Gigastructural Engineering is enabled and Paluushia is not disabled, Paluushia will have the Paluush, otherwise it will be a Shrouded World.

Old Gatzo (Katzenland Start) – Start on Katzenland at the height of Meopa’s reign. Nearly all other planets will be inhabitable. Potradus has Terraforming Candidate. If Gigastructural Engineering is enabled and Paluushia is not disabled, Paluushia will have the Paluush, otherwise it will be a Shrouded World. Powerful start!

Jublio (Flusion Start) – Start on Flusion. Flusion will NOT have its "Exceptionally Rich World" modifier! Merries has Terraforming Candidate.

Jupitwo (Corrona Start) – Start on Corrona. Corrona will NOT have its magical shield modifier!

Behemoth (Faust Start) – Start on Faust, the Equestria at War reference.

Kerbol (Kerbin Start) – Start on Kerbin in the Kerbol system. The Eeloo Death Star is NOT present, fortunately. No unique texture for Kerbin yet. Laythe is an Ocean World and Duna has terraforming candidate.

FAQ

Will it cause duplicates if used with Gigastructural Engineering?
No, the systems will be recognized by Gigastructures and it will thus not spawn the systems twice. This does mean you cannot get the Kaiser if starting in Jublio, for example.

Checksum is outdated!
Almost definitely still works unless Paradox drastically changed the way starting systems work.

There is something in the error log about this mod.
I literally do not care.

You can join the Gigastructural Engineering Discord[discord.gg] if you want to contact me directly or discuss things related to Gigastructural Engineering and related mods/lore.

Feel free to suggest variants of the systems I could add in the comments.
