The Stellaris Community Galaxy list

[cKnoor]

Howdy everyone,

A few month ago me and @Wiz streamed with a galaxy full of community submitted empires on Extraterrestrial Thursday. Once the campaign was over I had plans to clean up the file and then upload it here. Then time happened and I got busy with other more pressing matters, like more streams and I forgot to post it.

Well I've been reminded and here is the file with all the empires we used. I have not had time to clean the file, so there are some species that rather than having an info text box just has "Unreadable String". Assume it's me being bad at handling larger text files and missed something somewhere.

To use the Community Galaxy do the following
Go to Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris and take a backup of your own user_empire_design.txt file and save it somewhere.
Replace your old file with the one in this post.
Launch Stellaris and start a new game.
You should see all the species in the list on the left.
Enjoy?

Please note that I have tested this on the current build, but I haven't tried a full playthrough since we played on stream. So you know, use at your own peril.

Oh, neat, my little uglies made it to the list. BTW a link to stream, anyone?

What happens if you use the file but you do not have some of the portraits @cKnoor ?

And they even managed to spawn... only to fall apart a minute after first contact due to rebellion. Oh dear.

I wonder if that has something to do with the "unreadable string" bit.

No clue, possibly magic?

Sweet! My species made it in!

And never showed up. Oh well.
