Real Space For Stellaris

Real Space For Stellaris

Real Space v 2.04

Inspired by the mods like “More Realistic Star Systems”, I decided to create my own one, which would add a bit more realism and variety for gameplay into the Stellaris space.

In this mod I have tried not to change the Game’s mechanics, but to diversify the Galaxy harmonically with keeping the existing game balance.

So, there is a list of what the mod performs:

Stars:
New stellar classes were added:
O Class – the most bright and rare blue stars;
L Class – cold brown dwarfs;
T Class – dim methane dwarfs (added as planets, because there is no sense in making the stars out of them);
Y Class – intermediate step between the star and the gas giant (added as planets);
С Class – carbon stars;
S Class – zirconium stars;
W Class – mysterious Wolf-Rayet stars (4 nebula types);
Nova – is a close binary system with a flared white dwarf after absorption of the companion star substance (2 types)
Supernova – exploded star, the final stage of the evolution of the star.
Protostar – is the star in the formation stage.
Luminous Blue Variable – is a bright, unstable blue hypergiant with a diffuse nebula (3 nebula types)
New stellar types were added:
Dwarfs
Regular stars
Giants
Supergiants
Hypergiants
Star systems:
Double, triple and multiple star systems with different types and spectral classes of the stars;
More than 200 real star systems, adjacent to the Sun were added. (No more blue Betelgeuse, special stuff for roleplayers!)
Added 3 new starting systems, which you can choose when creating a race:
Regor system – is a system with a Wolf-Rayet star, also known as Gamma Velorum;
GK Persei system – is a system with a Nova;
Eta Carinae system – is a system with a Luminous Blue Variable.
Planets:
41 new skins for gas planets were added (and red gas giants are here too!)

Also I wanted to make generated galaxy map as a space sector or cluster-shaped form, but because of some technical moments and game restrictions it will be better to develop it as a standalone mod.

System Scale:
The scale of the planets and the solar system was increased.
The relative speed of movement of ships in the system is preserved.
The camera settings in the system have been changed.
Space battles were also adapted for the new scale of the system.

Compatibility Patches:

Additional Mods:
Real Space – Astrogeology – Analogue Stellar Energy mod, which changes the resources of the stars, depending on the class, as well as the gas giants.

Real Space Lite – A small fix for those who play on small galaxy maps (As they say in Russia – “At the request of workers”).

Real Space Max Compatibility – Standalone shortcut mod, created for greater compatibility with other mods. Does not contain the System Scale mode.

+ Stellar Catalyst – A wonderful addition by Djohaal. This mod introduces a minor megastructure that can be built by any empire that researches the appropriate technology. The stellar catalyst triggers fusion in a Y or P class dwarf, the brown-dwarves – “failed” stars which didn’t accumulate enough mas to ignite and produces some energy like a cheaper, more restricted dyson sphere.

Attention!!!
Version 2.0 has added an improved scale to the systems. To work properly, you need to start a new game.

Real Space Max Compatibility – a standalone version of the mod will be added with maximum compatibility with other modes in which scaling will be removed, as well as many other things that can affect compatibility. If you want to finish the session, which started with the previous version of Real Space, then turn on this mod instead of the original one.

Also, a hard-mode mod will be added. To begin with, it will include long transitions in space.

Since this mod reduces the size of some cosmic objects, then for greater realism I recommend using mod Downscaled Ships, so that your ships and stations are not too large.

ПС: Для русскоязычных игроков. Если вы пользуетесь модом на перевод названий и имен Russian Names Extended by Annatar или аналогичным от VolusRus, то настоятельно рекомендую вам поставить патч Russian Names Extended by Annatar – Real Space Patch для того, что бы все названия реальных звезд были переведены на русский и не дублировались.

Stellaris is a wonderful game. I will continue to make modifications and compatibility to them, I like it. But all this takes a lot of time and effort, so any, even the smallest donation will motivate me to work in this direction even more. In any case, I will continue and it will be a game of our dreams!
