Description:

Tired of having your glorious interstellar Elven kingdom being forced to use plain old mammalian ringworlds in Gigastructures? Well I for one, as someone who often uses the ships from Elves of Stellaris very much dislike having to use industrial looking monstrosities. Even more frustrating is that the Gigastructures mod uses it’s own ringworld setup basically preventing any custom ringworld models from being used without a patch like this, and for fans of Elves of Stellaris, the Elven ringworld is certainly a beautiful model that should not be missed out on when running it with Gigastructures.

Because of this, I have taken the time to work through the ringworld segments from the popular mod Elves of Stellaris to work with all ringworld sizes in Gigastructures. In addition to that I also took the effort to add some uniqueness to a many of the other megastructures from Gigas as well!

List of Megastructures Given an Elven Re-Skin:

Note: Obviously you will need to be using either the Elven, Dark Elven or Ilythiiri shipsets in order for the following megas/gigas to have these appearances.

Additional Notes and Credits:

At this point, the plan very much is to give the Elves a unique appearance for everything that can be built in the Gigastructures mod, as well as to add in temporary unique appearances for some of the vanilla structures that have yet to be covered by base EOS (at least until the "art department" at Team Necessity creates official models).

Just a disclaimer however that at the moment my knowledge of 3D modeling is very basic so what you will be getting here are mostly kit-bashed models using assets from Elves of Stellaris though I am making every effort to ensure that the final result of these structures are as clean and well-made as possible.

In addition to that I would like to give a shout-out to corsairmarks who made a couple of mods for the Machine Shipset’s ringworlds to work with Gigas which I originally based my files off of (though now due to changes in the way ringworlds are set up in Gigas, these mods are no longer compatible). You can check these mods out with the links below:

And obviously I want to give a massive thank you to TheGrandN from Team Neccesity for letting me use assets from Elves of Stellaris and letting me release this as a submod!

Be sure to load this mod AFTER both Gigastructures and Elves of Stellaris in order for this mod to work properly! Thank you!
