DSP Touhma GalacticScale Plugin

Disclaimer

The version 1.0.2 is the one you want if you are looking only for the slider for more stars All version 1.0.x are Beta release to test the new algorithm for the generation of entire systems.

You can find all the releases and the patch notes here : https://github.com/Touhma/DSP_Plugins/releases

A beta release mean : bugs , save broken, etc ... it's EXPERIMENTAL Please report any issues on my github : https://github.com/Touhma/DSP_Plugins/issues

I need some feedback & some bug report to fix it. Plus i'm opening the mod for people who think can help me fixing it.

Have fun with it and good testing !

How to use galactic-scale ?

Map Size :

You can slide the number of system up to 1024 ( by default ) instead of 64. Be carefull if your pc is slow ^^ ---> everything past 64 is experimental ! Test it at your own risk :)

Config Available :

Edit the file here : %gamefolder%\Dyson Sphere Program\BepInEx\config\touhma.dsp.galactic-scale.galaxy-size-select.cfg

Limitations :

Although you can put more than 1024 stars in the config file the slider will get stuck on a number between 1024 & 1300 depending on the seed you are using.

How to use the custom system Generation ?

Planet Sizes :

One of the main feature of this mod is to allow for more variety for planets & moons. So now you will be able to find different size planets & moons all around the universe ! Good luck with that limited space :D Plus Gas Giant have been reworked too, their size is variable too.

Moon Changes :

This mod allow for telluric moons around gas giant BUT you can have telluric moon around telluric planets too !

System Generation :

A first version of the reworked algorithm is available. It allow you to :

Customize how each system type is generated,
Customize for each how much : Planets , Moons are available
Customize the chance for a planet in the habitable radius of the system to be ... well .. habitable
Customize how large the habitable radius is
Customize the orbits of the planets
Customize the orbits of the moons around their host planets
Customize the density of the system & how dense moons systems are
Customize the min or max size for telluric & GasGiant planet

Config Available :

Edit the file here : %gamefolder%\Dyson Sphere Program\BepInEx\config\touhma.dsp.galactic-scale.star-system-generation.cfg

A more complete documentation will come later :)

For modders :

I spent a shit ton of time working on that mod so please ... don't be a dick. If you have some features ideas that would need my code to work, talk to me first ( Touhma#1599 ) on Discord about it then we shall decide how we can proceed. If you can : make your own work using this mod as a dependency if you don't wanna improve this mod. If you wanna fix something in it or improve on it --> please go ahead and do a pull request, i'll hapilly credit you for your work.

Do NOT make a mod just to change the default configuration or a few parameters, DO share your configs files with me :) if it's giving good result it can make it to the official release of the mod.

I would love that mod to be a reference in the comunity concerning everything around the generation of the moons, planets, stars, etc ... I have a shit tons of ideas for it and i'll probably not be able to take car e of everything by myself as fast as I wish for. So consider helping me improving it instead of copy pasting the code & releasing it under a new name.

This mod is and will always be free of charge for everyone.

I'll see in the future if people wanna give me a pint of beer if they wannna support me but again : it will stay open & free of charge for everyone.

If you wanna reuse some piece of code : make your own work free of charge & open source too .
