[MOD] Myth Star Names

[Mythgaard]

Adds 65,000+ names for stars (700ish for Nebula, 900ish for Black Holes) drawn from world Mythology and Folklore, as well as from fiction (Sci-Fi and Fantasy primarily), rounded out with a mix of real world places, latin words and so on. Provides a solid mix of familiar and unusual-tending-to-gibberish-so-it's-totally-alien star names.

Doesn't overwrite base game files. Should be compatible with just about anything.

Current Update:
1.8

Manual:

Thank you, very good job! We need more mods like this, maybe namelist based on scifi books and movies...

Thanks, there'll be an update in the next day or three which will push it up past 10k, including mostly names from Sci-Fi, Fantasy and other fictional sources.

Hopefully Chinese mythology and folklore as well; turns out most of the lists you find on the internet are so large because they include dozens of alternate regional spellings of the same names and so on. Frustrating to realize after spending about three hours editing a list.

 

[Mythgaard]

As mentioned above screwed up some files I was working on and have to re-edit a bunch of crap. So this update only includes Star Wars system names.

 

[8igualdos0s]

Well, your hard work is very much appreciated!

 

[Mythgaard]

Updated with a crapton of names.

Also, if you should happen to come across a name with a ? in it, please post it, it's a pain in the ass figuring out which special characters the game doesn't like.

Updated the version number on Workshop upload. No other changes.

Adds 65,000+ names for stars (700ish for Nebula, 900ish for Black Holes) drawn from world Mythology and Folklore, as well as from fiction (Sci-Fi and Fantasy primarily), rounded out with a mix of real world places, latin words and so on. Provides a solid mix of familiar and unusual-tending-to-gibberish-so-it's-totally-alien star names.

Doesn't overwrite base game files. Should be compatible with just about anything.

Current Update:
This update had about 18k pre and post fixes for Asteroids, but they made the game crash on loading. Either 80k+ names is just too damn many, or the game has a problem with the some of the names I used.

Feel free to do whatever you want with this, however be aware I got the Star Wars names from the mods linked above (with permission) so there's that. But I just trawled list of mytholgogy, religion, folklore and various games and so on (LotR, WoW, Fallout, etc). My reasoning was with billions of stars in our galaxy alone people would start naming them all sorts of weird shit when they went through all the standard stuff.

 

[Mythgaard]

Updated to 1.8. Works fine as far as I've been able to tell.

 

[Mythgaard]

Updated for 2.0, however this created a new instance of the mod. No idea why.
