Massive Galaxies is a mod which simply expands the galaxy size, with more stars and planets than you know what to do with (3,000 & 4,000), as well as adding more active civilizations to the game (45 & 50). Initially I had released v1.0 and didn't really have too many plans to update it (even now it's debatable how long development of the mod will go on), and now 1.1 has been released which added the option to play with 3,000 stars and 45 civilizations
Current limitations don't allow for much more than 4,000 star systems due to a limited amount of names added to the name list, and there have been no changes made to the lists for anything except star names which means that there probably will be a shortage of names for objects such as Black holes and Planets. there is another mod out there called Bigger Galaxy that does the same as our mod except on a much wider range.
Here is the description of Bigger Galaxy:
"This mod really simple. it just add four galaxy generation options.
*Huge extended : 2000 stars. Ultimate : 5000 stars. Titan : 8000 stars.
*Gargantuan : 10k stars
*Add planet, blackhole, nebula names"
I have not had a chance to try out Bigger Galaxy yet, mainly due to the fact that I just dont care to sit down and play Stellaris until there are a few dlc out that add more meat to the game, but based on the comments on the page it seems to work well.
If anyone reading this currently plays with Bigger Galaxy installed it wouldn't be to difficult to merge the two mods. if you were to merge Bigger Galaxy and Massive Galaxies I would recommend taking the files "giant.txt" and "massive.txt" from the folder "\MassiveGalaxy-1.1\MassiveGalaxy\map" and adding them to the map folder for Bigger Galaxy, you would also have to change the priority of the file within the text document for example within the file "massive.txt" the line that reads "priority = 6" would need to be altered based on what priority are in all the other files. just make sure you don't have two files with the same priority or there will be issues.
