Default Kwok\'s Galaxy Mod

Greetings.

Since the next version of the Space Food Empires is dragging on, I felt bad about not sharing the work that I've done for systems in SFE. So with SE:V on the horizon, I went ahead and made a standalone mod from it.

Kwok's Galaxy Mod adds 100 original and unique system types. You'll find planets arranged in a more expected fashion (rock-gas-ice) with a few more moons. You may also remember some of the images I posted with Blackholes and Supergiant stars complete with actual physical "footprints" in their systems.

Of course, it's a little rough around the edges right now - particularly on some of the descriptions etc. However I will patch the data files over the next few weeks with the fixes for these items. I also left in a couple of test quadrants that you try out to see various special systems.

You can download the first version here:

What makes it different from Fyron's Quadrant Mod?

There's actually a number of differences, first being the inclusion of many stellar phenomena that aren't available elsewhere. This includes Dwarf stars (white, brown, black), functional Supergiants, Neutron stars and Pulsars, plus the fact that many have actually effects that extend beyond just a system ability.

The quadrant selection itself is less developed compared to FQM, which was primarily by design. I put more energy into making the systems themselves more diverse and didn't really want to clutter the quadrant screen with lots of items not having proper descriptions (really a failure of SE:IV's interface).

You can have descriptions in the quadrant selection.

But not in a nice non-cluttering fashion.

Better than nothing. But about the mod...
