It appears GalaxySizeFactor = 3 is the max.
But it really is huge...even on 'Tiny'.

'Dev' responded & is looking into it.

Per the 'Globals.lua' file: when editing - PrimitiveStartPopulation = 4, AverageStartPopulation = 8, AdvancedStartPopulation = 12, this part of the file & changing PrimitiveStartPopulation from a 4 to a 6 for example; (to include editing the other 2 categories) either via the original file or via a ...

Per modding, I noticed only 1 mod can be loaded at a time.
Unless I am missing something.
btw, showed this game to an old MOO II friend of mine...he likes it & purchased it.

Editing the 'Golbals.lua' file per the Galaxy Size Factor is interesting to try. Changing: -- Galaxy GalaxySizeFactor = 1, to a 2 for example (tried 4 & the game would not load) :) increases the size of the galaxy. Based on the way the number of Star Systems are assigned per Galaxy this allows a Tin...

The simple fix to this issue is to edit the faction file in the faction folder.
Kudos to the 'dev' for allowing this game to be 'modder friendly'.

When renaming a faction & changing the leaders name, I always get a pause/freeze then onto a random battle that should not even exist. This particular error happens when I use an upper case 'R' in the name. Small letters don't appear to cause this issue & I am not sure if it is only the upper case '...

A simple mod done more for experimentation. A minimum of 1 AI is required to play any Galaxy size. Also increased the maximum AIs by 1. Place extracted folder in Documents/My Games/Astra Exodus/Mods NOTE: Faction Customization is not functional in any mod to date...per the 'dev'. If one wants to edi...

Did a little modding for fun. I noticed when modding the 'Globals.lua' file everything worked great as long I edited the original (backed up, of course) in it's original Data folder. However, when I created an independent mod the changes still worked BUT...removed my option to Customize a Faction. B...

As advertised, the game is very moddable. If one wants to play vs a minimum of 1 AI on any galaxy size, simply...mod it. Main Dir/Data/Globals.lua file (of course, always back up the original) -- Galaxy GalaxySizeFactor = 1, MinimumDistanceBetweenStars = 4, MaximumDistanceBetweenStars = 8, TinyGalax...

If you bought the game on Steam you can take part in the Beta. Right click on the game and then somewhere in the properties you can switch to the Beta. One short download later you have the Beta version. You can go back to normal any time but you cannot have both at the same time. Also, if you boug...

Will this game be offering UI Scaling per the text?

Have been playing Gothones, recently.
Mainly as a challenge vs a couple of friends.
Quite the...challenge.
I have found patients is key.

Judea has been an a fun & challenging nation to play, for me.

Thank you for this, Cronos09.

Thank you 'zakblood'.

Excellent update...but why are the updates twice as large as the initial install?

I played a league game awhile back & encountered an opponent who did not move...just lined up & waited.
I, bravely (?), marched forward to the end of the map & engaged him.
The result was not good for me...should have stayed back & claimed a draw.

Randomly selecting pre-made maps is not 'random map generation'.
If you are serious about purchasing this game, read the free game manual on the Steam store page per this game.
