Modding Tool: Retalyx Stellaris Static Galaxy Generator V0.9

[Retalyx]

I am working on a modding tool that can create static galaxy files from PNG file or create a new Randomly generated one with perlin noise support


Features:
Generate random galaxy with Perlin Noise support
Generate galaxy based on .png image files, 1 black pixel = 1 system
You can manually place spawn or randomly generate them
You can add/remove systems and nebulas
You can edit hyperlanes
You can edit systems

More features coming soon

After generation you have to place the content of "GeneratedMods/<YourMod>" folder inside stellaris mod folder

Hi Retalyx, this is a very interesting tool. I note that (in v0.82, at least), if you have fewer empires than the maximum, then for every empire not picked you end up with a gaia planet with unoccupied buildings. Is there any way around this problem at the moment?

Thanks for your issue report

I'll see what i can do, and fix this as soon as i can

 

[Lucre]

Hi, thanks for taking a look at it

One other point is that if you play the 'Commonwealth of Man' (i.e., the one with the Deneb start), it appears that two separate 'United Federation of Earth' empires are spawned, each on it's own Sol. I have looked into it, but I can't see why there are two spawns.

Yes i saw this problem, i don't know why, but sometimes, tge game generate a Sol system in the galaxy :/

After further investigation, it seems you can prevent two UNEs forming provided you force the UNE to spawn by setting

spawn_enabled = always

in the prescripted countries file for humans1.

But i don't want it :/ do you think spawn_enabled = no or something like that would work?

 

[Lucre]

No, unfortunately I couldn't find anything else that worked.

 

[Ravencroft]

Think you could work on a Home System editor?

Try: "spawn_enabled = { always = no }"

Think you could work on a Home System editor?

Just create a blank map with two systems build your home system in one of them, set both of them as spawns and only one to a home system. Then you can save and it will build the initializer for you then you drop it into the game folder.

 

[Lord Milutin]

Can you update this for the new planet types and larger homeworlds?

 

[Grinsel]

are u plan this tool for linux too?
with POL it wont work correct

look

the script works, i pressed some buttons blind and it created a random galaxy.

greetings

 

[Thure]

Is thisstill working and up to date? Or did I need to take some things into account? Or is there a new tool for this?

 

[Swizzlewizzle]

To be honest this tool should be part of the tools paradox maintains.. it's really difficult to make large galaxy changes manually without something like this.

 

[primem0ver]

Are you still working on this? What language is it it? Depending on how easy it is to create mods to create new "types" of galaxies (which of last time I checked is difficult to do)... this might come in very handy for creating more types of realistic galaxies. Are you willing to share the source?

Hello

I am trying to use this mod with the last version of the game (1.61) and I was unable to play it in the game :s

 

[LCS73]

Does anyone have a galaxy generator that works?

 

[Magical Chicken]

Does anyone have a galaxy generator that works?

It still works... you just have to use it correctly...
Some things such as star classes have changed (from pc_[starclass] to sc_[starclass]) and I haven't looked into placing mega-structures but everything else should still work.

Does anyone have a galaxy generator that works?

it seems to work ok for me
