Status: offline 		Patch 1.22 released. First post edited as well, to include the changes.

An extensive addition to the in game encyclopedia, with more information on each resource and race.

A revision of the tech tree, with colonization trimmed down to make sense in a human oriented galaxy. Now the you unlock 'exoplanet colonization' for desert, oceanic, continental and marshy swamps together- while 'Thermal insulation' unlocks arctic and volcanic together.

Each race now also has very specific bonuses to what planets they prefer, depending on their culture, which is detailed in their description along with their unique tech. Planets they prefer give a +33% production bonus, while planets they disdain get a -33%.

Not savegame compatible, as the tech tree is quite different. Requires the 1.21 installation, which you overwrite with this 1.22 patch.

Example of new shipsets:

This old thing



I've rummaged through all the game files and I can see the buttons etc under the 'Chrome' folder, but not the actual background picture - and I'd love to add an image more suitable for the mod

Just to see if it's an isolated incident.

Edit: Might still be, but found 2 errors that are fixed now.

I'd never claim ownership of other people's efforts - this entire mod is build on the awesome work of other people.
As said in the first post as well, this is more of a personal compilation, that I've decided to share.


That said, it actually did take quite a bit of effort to photoshop all the models to correct size, tinker with some to add variation, and add engine output etc

So, barring any suddenly flash of creativity, I consider it done yeah.

Status: offline 		Yes, I've tried to tweak the implemented focused research and the better layout, but in truth it was implemented in the very first iteration and a lot has changed since then.
So I had to loosen up a lot of the research paramaters, as I wasn't as good at figuring out when which race should do what, as Icemania was.

Status: offline 		Rosbjerg, I've just run New Dawn through my tool and it picked up on a few things that might cause this.

The race bias entry and policy file "Khoisan" is misspelt (should be Khosian).

Quite a lot of races are scripted to research projects that don't exist (Project ID's above 395).

The characters file for the Afrikaan contains a lot of race override values for an "Albannaich" race, which doesn't exist.

Those are the only things I could see in the log that might cause DW to crash.

edit: unfortunately, with the holidays upon us, I might not be able to get it done before New Year. But I'll be sure to post and update here if I do.

Status: offline 		I just want to say that I recently kind of "re-discovered" Distant Worlds: Universe and found this mod. It is impressive work and I am amazed how it changes my perception of DW:U. Most of all immersion is unequivocal. Secondly - brilliant idea - as I understand from one of merged mods - to slower hyperdrives. It really makes the universe, and in consequence gameplay itself, a lot more interesting. Thank you and authors of merged mods for all your efforts and hard work.

You can download the 1.31 patch and just overwrite.

I don't know if it causes any crashes if they are there, but the patch doesn't delete them.
