Just came here to say this does work still and I am on 4.0.*

Make sure its on bottom of mod list, if anyone is having issues.

Does this still work, I know @Hunter 495 said it did not work. can anyone confirm if it works or not? I do not have time to test it right now.
Hunter 495 12 Aug, 2024 @ 2:43pm 
I think this mod might be outdated to the point of being broken by recent updates, I realized in my recent saves that I wasn't seeing changes from this while playing, despite the mod being loaded.

@Suyoshi: These mods are incompatible. They've overhauled the galaxy rendering so it will never use my textures no matter the load order.

What is the load order when I want to use this mod with ! Immersive Beautiful Universe ! & ! Immersive Beautiful Stellaris ! ?

Still the prettiest Galaxy on the workshop. Thank you for keeping it up-to-date.
Dragono2007 28 Mar, 2023 @ 2:14pm 
Thanks this looks amazing
Aeryl  [author] 15 Mar, 2023 @ 1:30am 
Updated for 3.7

@Grunt4life: It should work with modded galaxy shapes. There is only a single galaxy texture in the game files and I don't think there is a way to dynamically change the texture used with a mod. So to my knowledge, all galaxy shape mods use the same texture. Sorry for the terribly slow response.
Grunt4life 28 Jan, 2023 @ 12:15pm 
Is this only working for vanilla galaxy shapes? or would it work with galaxy shape mods aswell this mod is so beautiful really appreciate you giving us this mod friend :)

Thank you <3
Aeryl  [author] 29 Nov, 2022 @ 1:51pm 
Updated for 3.6.
Aeryl  [author] 12 May, 2022 @ 7:15pm 
Updated for 3.4.
I haven't tested this with the new hyper relay network yet so there might be some issues with that. If anyone encounters any trouble with them, let me know!
Paramaniac 6 Mar, 2022 @ 9:29pm 
Thank you very much
Aeryl  [author] 23 Feb, 2022 @ 6:10pm 
Updated for 3.3. As always, you may need to unsubscribe and resubscribe for the launcher to register the new update.
Paramaniac 4 Jan, 2022 @ 10:08am 
Is this mod working with 3.2? I tried but it seems not.
YolkFish 30 Dec, 2021 @ 11:34pm 
High quality graphical settings solved the problem. Thanks!
Aeryl  [author] 29 Dec, 2021 @ 12:38pm 
@YolkFish:
I've heard of this problem before. Try setting your graphic settings to high; the galaxy textures get messed up on lower settings. If that doesn't work, try changing the load order with this mod and real space. I hope this helps!
YolkFish 28 Dec, 2021 @ 9:27pm 
Now this mod is not compatible with real space? When I install both, the nebula graphics are weird.
Thy Moose 24 Dec, 2021 @ 11:45pm 
Just wanted to say that I love this mod, thank you :)
Aeryl  [author] 26 Nov, 2021 @ 6:42am 
Updated for 3.2! Nothing changed for this update; I only changed the version number. You may need to unsubscribe and resubscribe for it to work.
MsL229 25 Nov, 2021 @ 2:08pm 
Hello! Was wondering if this mod works for 3.2?
Wilmfe23 23 Oct, 2021 @ 9:10am 
Really nice. This does address the biggest downside of the galactic setting; the fact that a galaxy really is just a flat disk with tiny points on it. I hope you'll update this to go even further. Give nebula's the bright colors they have in system view, have far greater variation in the brightness of the different stars and so forth.
Maybe even give each arm a different color.
Aeryl  [author] 14 Sep, 2021 @ 1:30pm 
Updated for 3.1! It now works with Lem's new hyperlane opacity slider! As always, you may have to unsubscribe and resubscribe to acquire the new update.
Wolfen 14 Sep, 2021 @ 12:50pm 
Works fine with 3.1 Lem.
Templar Praising The Sun 23 Jul, 2021 @ 11:45am 
wow this is really amazing, Paradox should had done this since a long time ago damn.
Juras 4 May, 2021 @ 8:47am 
Thanks Aeryl, it works for me too now! Great mod:steamthumbsup:
Ocelot 22 Apr, 2021 @ 10:29am 
i did attempt to edit the launcher-v2 file to see if i could just delete all the references to the mod but it just acted like it was deleted as soon as it was edited, perhaps i broke something by doing that
Aeryl  [author] 22 Apr, 2021 @ 8:28am 
@Ocelot: Is the correct descriptor file present in your "workshop/content/281990/1407118357" folder? You might need to unsubscribe, restart steam and then resubscribe and see if that works. I'm not sure what else it could be...
Ocelot 21 Apr, 2021 @ 1:22pm 
maybe i did something wrong but i deleted the file and the notification of the descriptor missing is still there
josch 18 Apr, 2021 @ 1:06am 
Yes, deleting fix it for me too, thank you
X_MasterDave_X 17 Apr, 2021 @ 9:27am 
Thanks Aeryl, deleting this "launcher-v2.sqlite" file solved this Problem.
Aeryl  [author] 17 Apr, 2021 @ 6:18am 
@MasterDave: Go to "[YourSteamLibraryDirectory]/steamapps/workshop/content/281990/1407118357" and verify that there is content in that file. You should see the current descriptor.mod file. If you have an old version of mod there, just delete the whole folder and steam should reaquire the current version. If steam doesn't download the mod for some reason, try restarting steam.

If you do have the current version in that folder then you probably have to delete your "launcher-v2.sqlite" file which is usually located at "Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris". This happens to me when updating the mod because the paradox launcher seems to save descriptor info for local mods. **Important**: Deleting this file WILL erase your launcher playlists, so you might want to write them down or something.
X_MasterDave_X 17 Apr, 2021 @ 4:43am 
Subscribed new...several times....but i get a Error Message: "Descripter file missing".
So it doesnt let me activate the Mod in any of my Playstes. :(
Aeryl  [author] 15 Apr, 2021 @ 12:53pm 
@Wolfen: No problem! I'm glad you like it!
Wolfen 15 Apr, 2021 @ 12:48pm 
Thanks a bunch for this, i would have real trouble to play the game for longer time without it.
Aeryl  [author] 15 Apr, 2021 @ 10:44am 
Updated for 3.0! You might have to unsubscribe and resubscribe if it doesn't update for you. The only thing I changed was the version number.
Wolfen 15 Apr, 2021 @ 9:23am 
Seems to work fine with Nemesis 3.0
Wolfen 15 Apr, 2021 @ 5:14am 
Dear gods of the Void, please make this work with 3.01 and save my old eyes from the light.
SonicBlue22 11 Feb, 2021 @ 9:03am 
Could you set the target game version to "2.*" so the error message goes away?
notNSANE 26 Sep, 2020 @ 11:09pm 
got hooked with the game and forgot to reply, haha. Problem was the game's Graphics quality. I had to set it up to High (was Mid), else this happened: https://i.imgur.com/b9xZnI6.png

Regardless, I think the issue doesn't happen with your mod disabled. Might be wrong, though, and I can't really check in since it gakes 5 minutes to load the game.
Aeryl  [author] 26 Sep, 2020 @ 8:01am 
@notNSANE: Np! If you aren't able to get it working, let me know which graphic mods you're using (mostly likely real space) and I'll check it out myself.
notNSANE 26 Sep, 2020 @ 7:57am 
thanks a lot for the ultra mega fast response, I'll do that then. Hope it works since I really love this one.
Aeryl  [author] 26 Sep, 2020 @ 7:56am 
@notSane: This is most likely a load order issue with a mod that adds nebula textures. Just try moving this mod around in your load order. I didn't change nebula textures at all.
notNSANE 26 Sep, 2020 @ 7:54am 
not sure how but this mod breaks Nebulas and it's very inconvenient.
Zamensis 21 Jul, 2020 @ 3:30pm 
It works for me on 2.7.2
джордж дройд 14 May, 2020 @ 1:52am 
Is it works now?
Aeryl  [author] 21 Apr, 2020 @ 11:51am 
@dmvogler: I think that happens when your graphics settings are not set to 'High.' Please change them and see if that works for you.

@Spiral King: This mod already works for 2.6 as it is. I'm reluctant to update it while it still works perfectly in its current form. If you're having any issues in this version, please let me know!
the Peacock King 14 Apr, 2020 @ 5:44pm 
Any chance you could take a look at this beautiful mod for 2.6, please?
Trabber Shir 9 Apr, 2020 @ 6:33pm 
Not sure if it is this mod or something else, but I have a square in the middle of the galaxy that renders very strangely on 2.6. Empire icons get weird changing colors and nebulas get different brightness. This mod seems like the most likely culprit, but guess megastructures may be to blame since it adds stuff to the core?

The edges can be seen in that screen shot as follows:
Bottom right: obvious
Bottom left: in the Tyznn Empire logo

This galaxy is so beautiful.
