Spiral arm galaxys generated with Density wave theory

[Wintermutes]

Hi guys i used a galaxy generator from a personal project to generate some galaxys for Stellaris.

If you are intersted in how it works here are 2 usefull links.

There 5 galaxys with 3000,2000,1500,1000 and 500 stars.

3000 Stars.

1500 Stars.


The files for in game use are attached to this post.

Neat! Not much uncrossable darkspace as it seems, but even if travel in them is much like in the elliptical galaxies, they look really nice.

These are gorgeous, great work man.

How can we use them in game?

I feel sorry for anyone that spawns in between the arms

How can we use them in game?

You need to put them in to a mod like yourmod\map\setup_scenarios\Spiral_1000_Galaxy.txt

Also i just realized that i need to put in nebulas by my own and can generate my own hyperlanes so i will update the maps soon and add some nebulas and premade hyperlanes

I'm curious, how well does hyperlane generation work on these maps? Seems like you'd get some interesting pathways in the sparser regions.

Stellaris does a realy good job at generating the hyperLanes but i still want my own heres the result after 4h playing around.


Its still not perfect and can generate unconnected clusters and i also want less connections between the stars

Wow, great work. that 3K map looks insane with the star density!

Hyperlanes are serious business !

Some update with how it looks now i will definetily upload the maze version but still dont got a what i realy want.

A good base:
