Dude, thanks, this mod is exactly what I needed

If I could figure out how to disable auto-expansion for sectors at game start, that might solve a majority of issues.

Is it possible to remove systems from a sector that is not the core?
Currently creating a new sector auto-expands to every system available, so the work-around is to leave the auto-expand button on for the core sector, and then you can "eat" parts of it with a new sector. Alas, making a mistake means you have to delete the sector and start from scratch...

Thanks. I know how to update the version number, I've just never gotten around to it. I'll do it now since I have free time. Thank you for your comment!

Invaluable mod in my playset - thanks so much for this.
Please change your supported version to the following -
supported_version="v4.0.*"
Now with this line, your mod will show up-to-date whenever Paradox releases update fixes.

Mod should be working for 4.0!

Update to 4.0?

it doesnt work anymore. not sure why

Turns out the systems i captured on the other side of a wormhole were not connected to the core system which is why this whole issue is happening.

I dont really want to play with sectors at all.
If this is due to the "auto expand sector" thing let me know.
If not and this issue could be patched that would be appreciated.

In addition during my time of trying to fix this a bunch of systems got removed from the core sector and now i cant add them back.

I had a pre ftl civ reach the stars, and we said no, now we have a planet we cant add to the main sector.

How do i fix this?

You aren't able to AFAIK.

So the mod description says to disable sector auto-expansion. The only way I can see to do this is by editing a sector and clicking off the "Auto Expand Sector". But you can only do this once the sector has already been made, at which point it auto-adds all systems. How do I disable NEW sectors from auto-adding? I can't seem to find that option anywhere...

You can disable the sector view. That's about it.

I'm not asking if you can disable it, I was hoping you could give me some directions.

So the rendering of the sector view is the problem? Can we disable it? I don't need it to render anything.

@Geki That's generally an issue with the game's rendering. At a certain point it's hard to render many systems in a single sector due to how it's programmed. Having a good graphics card can help a little but it's still an issue regardless.

@Geki my guess would be the game just can't handle having that many systems in one sector.

My game crashes with about 450-500 systems in my core sector. As soon as I add too many. Is this a bug with this mod?

I apologize, I was confused with what you were originally saying.

You're correct in that the distance between sector capitals need to be at least 5 jumps apart. That's hardcoded and unfortunately means I can't mod in another value.

Dear Chugg,
There is a "Min" limit of 5 sectors:
i can expand infinetly each of my sectors, but i can't create new sectors with "min" range of 5 jumps. I have chacked forums and it seems that "min sector range" is hardcoded to 5 jumps.

There is no jump limit with this mod. Make sure you're turning off auto-expansion for your sector(s).

Works with 3.12.2

But can you also remove the 5 jump limits?
It is really annoying that I cannot create a sector in less than 5 jumps

Mod has been updated to the latest version of the game, and has had the mod name updated for clarity.

fuk

Unfortunately, I don't think that's fixable.

Maybe an update will also do to fix the graphical glitch that causes sector borders to become all distorted once they reach a certain amount and size. As I'm experiencing in my current game.

I think I might actually be able to do that! I need to update the mod for the numbering anyways, so that'll be an additional feature I can include.

Could you add a small update so that you can place sector capitals wherever? So that I'm not forced to have four jumps minimum between sector capitals, just so I can even make a sector?

A lot of people seem to be confused, so I'll summarize. The mod is working as intended. Your core sector has a hyperlane distance of the integer limit, but for the sake of conversation, infinity. Additionally, in case of a break, I've made it so other sectors are also infinite.

The core sector does not seem to go through wormholes anymore, however other sectors still do. The issue is that since the core sector (which is a sector you can not delete) is infinite, you're stuck with the entire connected galaxy in one sector, and any non-connected systems in others.

If I can fix this, I'll patch an update as soon as I can, but I believe this is an issue only Paradox can resolve.

It's not to infinity anymore. you have to build your colonies out and then it works except for the outside colonies then you have to add another Gov. the Mod could use an update to check into this. but it's still not bad as is, just have to plan more

I realize that this works only on direct lanes but not through gateways and wormholes. I thought it covers the L systems but it didn't so just slamed another governer on it lol.

It's possible, but I haven't tested it.

Can AI use this as well?

It should work. You might need to remove the system from another sector first.

Lamentably, the game still doesn't allow me to increase the size of the sector. Perhaps it doesn't work on existing games?

I'm glad it will be of use to you!

Thank you for the clarification and the quick reply. I appreciate that you took the time to create this mod.

That was an earlier comment before a major Stellaris update that changed how things work. Yes, you are able to expand both core and non-core seconds infinitely to your whims.

Indeed, but in your other comment you said "this changes the files ever so slightly to make sectors other than your core sector have an infinite range" which made me wonder: Can I expand core sector too?

This should be the mod for you then. You can make any size sector with this so you'll easily be able to expand your sector.

I need a mod that allows me to to make my core sector bigger... I have a colony that is just one jump too far away...

Thanks ItsChugg, gonna swap over to this one now :D

Mod updated to 3.8. This changes the files ever so slightly to make sectors other than your core sector have an infinite range. Now, you can make sectors of any shape or size you'd like. I hope you all enjoy!

@Azzaciel Sure, but only did that when I wanted to create a new vassal. I actually found one now that seems to work around it though, so unless new problems arises, I guess the problem is finally solved :D

@Wintermist Did you try the age-old sector manipulation trick of taking a settled planet in your future sector and deleting all your connecting star bases? Because that's how people create small new sectors to releases "System-state" vassals/federation members.

Even if you reconnect the system later, you should have 2 sectors now.

Awesome, I tried it as it was and couldn't get it to work proper. I got another one that was updated today that atleast let me build outwards more, dunno how small you can make them though. Either way, appreciation to you modders :D I'll give this one a go after you update it, if it does all those things it's gonna be perfect :D

I'll check the files of the game to see if I need to update the mod. It's entirely possible that I do and once done you'll find exactly what you're looking for.

I hope so, I was trying to make sectors that fit the clusters on the map, but yeah, it seems there are a minimum size and maximum size so end up rather horrible in certain scenarios.

I tried all manner of mods but just couldn't get anything working that way lol

That used to be a thing in the original versions of Stellaris. However, now it *may* be possible with the latest version of Stellaris because of the sector modification. You're able to change the sector shape so that may mean you're able to create multiple sectors. So, perhaps?
