Cool - the current star file is one that I made fyi. The devs were kind enough to use it for the time being. Yeah I get that the non realistic sizing / brightness might not be everyone's cup of tea - I like the scaling because it adds a noticeable sense of wonder beyond the solar system imho...

Thank you!

Hello - unfortunately the changes the patch notes talked about for v2026.9.10.5438 did not result in the milky way being oriented correctly. I will post some photos - first showing the sky right in front of the camera with the current game's initial state - and then with the mod built from the...

That can easily be done apart from deciding on the new constellations subjectively. To myself it would not make tons of sense to use a totally alien star arrangement - but we'll see. In either case the mod can be made to accommodate both using a totally different star map and also go back to...

Game Version [2026.9.7.5402] Operating System [Windows 11] What Happened When making a custom Stellarbody (Sun) - above some MeanRadius the shader coloring the body breaks and does not show the correct body color anymore What Was Expected At all distances of the camera to the Sun/Star the shader...

Compendium now at version 0.9.13 ! It's been awhile since I posted about any updates here. Besides some streamlining recently: - window style reformatted to use the new game window styling - atmospheric properites graphs for Celestials which have atmosphere!

Game Version 2026.8.22.5348 Operating System All What Happened The milky way texture is oriented incorrectly What Was Expected Correct orientation - easy fix :) Reproduction Steps Now that the stars are correctly oriented in the game's coordinate system they can be used to identify correct...

Compendium now at version 0.9.6 ! https://spacedock.info/mod/4074/Compendium#changelog updated to accommodate some changes in the game code for this KSA version updated to include the large number of new solar system celestials in the new game test dense solar system model updated how...

You're carrying a lot of baggage here. This is a game. There is no 'supposed to' anything. It's really cool that the current test system resembles the real one but that is probably where it ends. And even in its highly in development alpha state we can already as public modders make our own...

As discussed often on the game Discord - the devs have said a few times that the release game system will not be real solar system based. One also recently confirmed that the current starmap was very crudely done and they know it's not even close to accurate when done at the time. I'm guessing...

Compendium now at version 0.9.4 ! https://spacedock.info/mod/4074/Compendium#changelog added a default window size/positon so that it's not a tiny sized thing on first run added a main menu screen with graphic and also buttons to toggle all orbit lines on/off updated to some new game formats...

Yes it seems bits and pieces so probably no standard Epoch (date) for everything. I'm working on a tool to help generate system XML files which you can configure to your own specs for modeling close-ish to real - which solar bodies to include - their properties - their orbital data including...
