Sector: The Deep

Description
Adds two new sectors that also gives the Boron an additional connection to their Argon allies between Kingdom End areas (Atreus Clouds) and Argon space (Argon Prime).

If you don't have the Kingdom End DLC you still get one sector off of Argon Prime. Recommended to start a new game however it can be installed mid-save. Argon and Boron will move to populate it over time. Kingdom End plot aware so it will handle the path being open or not depending on story progress, including if you install after the finale.

Recommend volumetric fog set to at least "Medium". The game will give you a warning for certain anti-aliasing modes being harsh with volumetric fog. If you get poor performance try checking these settings. I personally use FXAA and FSR Balanced for my FPS numbers.

As with any sector adding mod, don't save your game in the sector and then uninstall the mod. Save elsewhere first.

Optional relocation patch available here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2976257404

Thanks to Epidra for including The Deep as supported in the Uncharted Skies mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2888557861&searchtext=

Thanks for the update and confirmation flounder :)

I'd been wondering if this was still compatible with Beta 7.5 and the new Terran - Boron connections...

Answer: yes!

I just had it work out in my 7.5 beta 6 with "The Deep" installed.
The new jump gate in Atreus Clouds connects to the SE inactive jump gate (The Deep uses the S Gate) and then that connected to ore belt just fine and to Frontier's Edge!

now that I see it more clearly, it looks like Chillmatica added new inactive jump gates in Atreus' Clouds S and in Argon Prime SW which don't interfere. I have NOT seen whether or not the sector placement on the universe map will create issues with the Hatikvah's Faith...but I don't think so, because the hex locations on the galaxy map are in a different place... look here beta map on qsna

Is it possible to reduce the radar range in the deep so that you have to fly by sight? That could be funny

is this compatible with xpanded? I really would love to use x-universe, xpanded and this one together

The change is subtle enough that I'll take the double FPS gains for you newer gen Nvidia folks. I also cleaned some stuff up and added a few stations/miners to the area. Update is available.

Thanks for digging into it. I'll give this a try and see how much it changes the aesthetic.

@Chillmatica just letting you know that changing 'densityfactor' for volumetricfog in the Deep sector from 0.025 to 0.005 doubled the FPS on my hardware.

Compatible with Uncharted Skies mod as standlone. And x-Universe with the Deep relocation patch.
