This addon brings the cosmic quadrant in your galaxy view.
The quadrant consist of 4 circles rotating slowly around the galactic core, demarcating 4 different areas:
- The deep core, uninhabitable and hostile area.
- The outer core, where life can thrive, but is still very much in the core area.
- The inner rim, as star density gets lower, we enter the rim area, that's where the sun would be.
- The outer rim, the remote area where stars slowly give ground to cold empty space. This area is empty for any galaxy < 600 stars.
The quadrant also comes with some measurement, from 0 to 20 kpc (kiloparsec). A 1000 stars galaxy is around 40 kiloparsec in diameter, which a bit larger than our own milky way (~35 kpc), while a 400 stars will be less than 30 kpc.

The original mod is no longer required, but recommended:




Achievment compatible.

Compatible with any mod that does not alter the "default_galaxy_center_entity".

KNOWN BUGS :
- Every time a portrait is active on screen when player is on galaxy view, the entities incorporated by this mod disappear. This include tabs such as governement/contact/sectors, and fleets with leaders, such as military or science ships. Closing the tab/fleet resolve the issue.
- Opening the ship designer in galaxy view make animated parts of the mod (galactic core, companion galaxies, quadrant) to spin VERY fast. Closing it resolve the issue.



  • 1.0.1:
    - Fixed missing texture.
    - Quadrant & L cluster can now be used as standalone, although they'll give some (harmless) warnings in the log.
