Just for future information: no links to reddit are allowed in any part of the forum or any form. The same applies for moddb unless specific permission. Thought it might be good to keep that in mind while compiling a list.
 
I don't know how long it has been since the notepad++ syntax has been updated, but i've made my own version based off of the original, and updated it with as many new keywords as i could find. It's probably not 100% complete, but it's more than the old one.

Save this as an .xml file, and import it into Notepad++ via Language > Define Your Language > Import:

Notepad++ Stellaris Syntax By LogicSequence

EDIT: Updated to V2.1
