StarNet Fusion

This is a merged mod from my Mod Setup Collection with sorted mods packed together in a single mod-file. This single mod-file is supposed to save loading time and efforts to allow easier and faster multiplayer setup.

This is a private project that enhances the far more easier Star Fusion
by adding Starnet AI + submods + needed patches to create a much more challenging game. Even Vasalls and Tributaries is way harder to use than in the former version.

Included are several handpicked mods that all aim to help flattening the competition curve to prevent total war scenarios that may lead to early human player extinction.
It would not be easy to steamroll your neighbours...experienced players will find a way anyhow, but it is still not an easy task if the players care about defensive mesures.
It will now need severel wars to conquer a whole empire, while it might be easier to talk them into a vassal or tributary.

There are several nice features on board, that get the game more charming and challenging, even if it isn't too much balanced. It is more ment to be something like a 'Space Opera' adventure, you enjoy playing or survive together with your friends. The task is not to kill em all, the task is to survive against the threats, the Galaxy will bring for you.
Cooperation might pay out more...but that will be your very own decission.

The Stars are delivered by it's included mods, like Balanced Space Warfare, Planetary Diversity, Traditions+, Real Space, Gigastructural Engineering and many more that you'll find in the first link, to create a wonderful game experience.



Mod is tested for multiplayer. As a suggestion, I offer you a basic Multiplayer Ruleset in the discussion area.



- NOT Ironman ready
- NOT Achievement compatible
- Multiplayer ready

- simple copy/paste German localization with English expressions is in place



To be fair, this merged mod is designed to be the only base for multiplayer games.


Sektor A

This mod is designed to run with Orrie's exceptional UI Overhaul Dynamic, which should be placed at the first position.
Probably you'll like to add some more color, like Expanded Colors + UI patch, some fine space music or non-game changing mods at this position.

If you wish, you could ->replace<- UI Overhaul with one of my more enhanced visual mods.
A plain Ironman compatible version would be Sheer Iron,
but if you like @INFINI7E's work as much as I do, you should try Sheer Iron Infinite Edition instead.
Be sure to only load one of them 3 offers in your playset.

Sektor B - Shipsets

Here you could place any shipsets you like to add.
I made a fine collection in a single file at Grand Naval Dockyard for you.

But probably you also like to add some more species, flags, pre-scripted empires, than this would be the best place for it too.

Sektor C - CORE MOD

Here you place this merged mod.

Sektor D

If you like to combine it with further mods that are aiming to change the game itself, I'd suggest to place them here at the bottom. No guarantee that they'll work with the core mod. It's just on your own risk to try.

Confirmed to work are the following mods:
Should you enjoy a real political challenge in multiplayer or you play singleplayer, I'd strongly suggest to add xsciper's + EDDY's wonderful Diplomatic Expansion Series for an incredible in-depth and timeless gameplay. Starnet uses Diplomatic Expansions quite well, so you'll get a hell of a competition with this four-part addition.

As a more basic variant instead, I'd suggest to add Propaganda and Espionage + UI patch, so you could weaken enemy borders a bit.



Some parts show issues, which is a normal weakness if you combine such a huge load of mods into a single game setup. So far I didn't encounter game-breaking ones during my testbeds.
Likely are wrong descriptions, while the underlying mechanic still works or small UI glitches. Mostly I found modding issues that need the source owners to patch their mods or needs compatibility patch to work together with included other mods.



This is a private merged mod project to shorten loading time and avoid incompatibility. I am in no way the author of the included mods. All credits go to the authors of the several included mods. This project will possibly be altered and updated if next patches allow. Currently it is not planned to upgrade it with other mods, but most likely there will be some kind of successor after major PDX patches. Please refer to the above linked collection to view the currently included mods.



This is patched together for Stellaris 2.8.*



Have fun and if you like it, leave me a thumbs up!
