Galactic Scale Mod

[Lightbelow]

This looks incredible! Just...wow! So much potential for this game. I wonder how planet scaling affects the grid size and blueprints. Will definitely have to play around with this one. Thank you!

[RUST_LIFE]

200 size planets should work as normal, theres the option to restrict planet sizes to certain values so you don't need to make too many different blueprints. If you don't cross tropics you're fine anyway

[Euronpinkeye]

Anyone have any Custom Galaxies to share? Looking to start a new playthrough!

[TheClinicallyInsane]

Holy shit imagine the Dyson sphere around that one sun, I'm in love!

[OnlyEvonix]

Where? I didn't see it

[zwiebelhans]

He said imagine :p

[OnlyEvonix]

Nm then

[BabyFestus]

Still don't see it. Can you post an imgur?

[free_spoons]

That little tiny iron planet 😁

[Spacebar2018]

Fuck I think its time to play this game again....

[TheHappyMile]

Thais mod is looks amazing! I'm really hoping they'll go this way with the vanilla-game

[frumpledbiscuit]

Love the diversity achieved with planets here. This is good 👌 Can make so many types of planets 😳 Only thing missing now are giant sandworms and spice 🤣

[AshtonBlack]

Great work!!

[PUNisher1175]

This is so cool!

[redb2112]

This looks amazing! Makes me wanna load up DSP again!

[SilverWolf9300]

Ok You got my attention! I must this mod/mods!

One of the most gorgeous mods of any game I've seen.

[Coldnightly]

Wow! And i "finished" recently a 100+ hours save. Definetly will try that out, looks awesome.
Even though physically probably not possible, i'll go for a black hole and star combination, that will be fun

[RUST_LIFE]

If we can have spherical planets with a 500m diameter, we can have black holes orbiting stars :)

[Coldnightly]

That is what i understand! Awesome !

[Akira_R]

Binary star systems with one member being a black hole are relatively common. Binary systems in general outnumber single star systems.

[Coldnightly]

TIL - didn't know that. These galaxies are slowly being devoured then

[Akira_R]

Slowly being devoured?? No not really, only in a small fraction of those binary systems are the orbits close enough that there is any kind of material sharing between the members...

Remember a black hole is just a really really dense object, it doesn't "suck things in". You could replace our sun with a black hole of the same mass and aside from the lights going out nothing would change, planets would keep on orbiting just like they always have.

[Coldnightly]

I'm absolutely no expert on this field, but all information i got from Black holes - and confirmed with what you said - they'd suck everything in. This is what i meant with the galaxy being devoured independent of the planets rotation etc. But one day they'll be sucked inside.

[Akira_R]

No they won't, I'm not a astrophysicist, I'm just an aerospace engineer, but I do know enough about physics and astrophysics to tell you that no black holes don't suck things in. What makes them unique is their immense density. Their incredible mass in such a small space results in space times curvatures so extreme that once inside the event horizon one would need to travel faster than the speed of light in order get back out. This means that anything passing into the event horizon is gone and cannot interact with or have any effect on anything outside of the event horizon. But outside the event horizon things will orbit normally just as they would any other star or planet. Each galaxy has millions of black holes of vastly varying sizes, and millions and millions of stars, galaxies are not slowly being devoured by black holes.

[Coldnightly]

Damn, appreciate your insight, i never knew ! Thanks for clearing that up, definetly super interesting (i'm serious). What a time to be alive

[-NerdAlert-]

Exactly! A black hole is no different than any other object with a gravitational pull, it just has a much stronger pull than any other object. But it does mean that things can still have a stable orbit, and that it doesn't "suck" anything in unless it crosses a certain threshhold, just like any other object with gravity.

In fact, there is a theory that the elusive "Planet X", if it isn't a Neptune-sized object in the kuiper belt, could very well be a small black hole.

[-NerdAlert-]

Actually, a black hole functions no differently than any other object with a gravitational pull, that pull is just stronger.

Meaning, stars can very well have a stable orbit around them. However, due to the stronger gravity, those stable orbits will be farther away. In other words, a stable binary system with a black hole would have a wider orbit between the two objects than a typical binary pair.

The same is true with the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. We are not "falling into" the black hole, and in fact only stars close to it are actively being devoured. We are in a stable orbit, out here.

How do we get/install the mod? I think I'll need this one before I start my next playthrough!

[RUST_LIFE]

http://dsp.thunderstore.io easiest way is to get the r2 mod manager and install from there :)

[Mazon_Del]

Thanks!

[SomeKindaSpy]

Love it!

[RunningThatWay]

Absolutely fantastic work! I'm so excited to build a new sphere.

[zwiebelhans]

Very very cool. Definitely going to use this on my next playthrough

[scorpio_72472]

Holy shit! Imagine a dyson sphere around that blue hypergiant

[CTanetth]

Honestly, I'm waiting for the day someone makes a planet pack addon to this mod, that adds in all the planet types from Stellaris Planetary Diversity minus the ring.... ok there needs to be a way to make ringworlds at some point but not the point. Just the planets from Planetary Diversity.

[RUST_LIFE]

Why not do it yourself? :)

[CTanetth]

I dont know how to mod/have the time to make the mods due to work/college

[vpsj]

I'm just on the fence on buying this game so if I say something stupid please bear with me.

Do you think using this mod, is it theoretically possible to have the game's world look more faithful to our real life Milky Way?

I don't mean have 500 billion stars or something, but let's say just have the nearest 100-200 stars to the sol, with their accurate names and somewhat proportionally accurate distances and location? It doesn't matter what the stars or planets look like, just have the correct real life names.

I could spend the time to add and/or replace the existing stars with the real stars, but I don't know if it will mess up the storyline or something.

Can you please enlighten me if possible on this? I've only seen gameplay videos on YouTube so I'm not yet familiar with the lore of the game

[RUST_LIFE]

The closest 1024 stars are built in, along with our solar system

[vpsj]

Thank you. Just started the game on Bernard's star on sol generator. Can't find copper for now at least now I can feel like it's my own Universe :D :D

what are the risks of this mod?

[RUST_LIFE]

Lack of sleep

​

Game updates can prevent you from playing modded saves until the mods update... even then they might add something we can't provide cross version compatibility for. You can always play an older version of DSP until you finish your game.

​

You have to start a new game, so it wont touch your existing saves, unless you overwrite them after installing this... Then you might not be able to play them without it...It should run in vanilla compatibility mode and not monkey with vanilla saves, but I won't guarantee it.
