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.

I think this mod might be outdated to the point of being broken by recent updates, I realized in my recent saves that I wasn't seeing changes from this while playing, despite the mod being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.

Thanks this looks amazing

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.

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

Updated for 3.6.

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!

Thank you very much

Updated for 3.3. As always, you may need to unsubscribe and resubscribe for the launcher to register the new update.

Is this mod working with 3.2? I tried but it seems not.

High quality graphical settings solved the problem. Thanks!

@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!

Now this mod is not compatible with real space? When I install both, the nebula graphics are weird.

Just wanted to say that I love this mod, thank you :)

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.

Hello! Was wondering if this mod works for 3.2?

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.

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.

Works fine with 3.1 Lem.

wow this is really amazing, Paradox should had done this since a long time ago damn.

Thanks Aeryl, it works for me too now! Great mod

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

@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...

maybe i did something wrong but i deleted the file and the notification of the descriptor missing is still there

Yes, deleting fix it for me too, thank you

Thanks Aeryl, deleting this "launcher-v2.sqlite" file solved this Problem.

@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.

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. :(

@Wolfen: No problem! I'm glad you like it!

Thanks a bunch for this, i would have real trouble to play the game for longer time without it.

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.

Seems to work fine with Nemesis 3.0

Dear gods of the Void, please make this work with 3.01 and save my old eyes from the light.

Could you set the target game version to "2.*" so the error message goes away?

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.

@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.

thanks a lot for the ultra mega fast response, I'll do that then. Hope it works since I really love this one.

@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.

not sure how but this mod breaks Nebulas and it's very inconvenient.

It works for me on 2.7.2

Is it works now?

@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!

Any chance you could take a look at this beautiful mod for 2.6, please?

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
Top: Half red, half white logo to the right of center

This galaxy is so beautiful.
