There is 2,000,000,000 Gaia objects so visualizing all of that would be nearly impossible in Space Engine due to obtimization reasons, just use Gaia sky instead
harry.hb.larsson 1 Dec, 2024 @ 7:33am 
ok now do it with every single object in the entire gaia catalog

Great mod! Took 5 minutes to load the game and ran at 10 fps on my RTX 3070Ti but is very impressive! When I want to visualize Gaia products in 3D without melting my computer, I use Gaia Sky. I can view 100 Million stars in 3D at around 60fps. I recommend turning off procedural generated planets to improve performance in Space Engine.

To everyone having bugs or issues, it's likely due to the fact that this addon was last updated in 2020. Space Engine has been updated since then, and there has been quite a few updates between today and when this addon was last updated. That means some update must of broke the addon in some way.

FOR THOSE WONDERING IF YOU CAN RUN IT - 2020 Acer Predator Helios 300. 16 gigs RAM, NVidia GeForce RTX 3060 laptop GPU. RUNS FINE ONCE LOADED. I clocked it at using 10 gigs of RAM when loading, once you're in SE it uses three. It took four minutes to load.

On that note - why are all of the stars yellow supergiants on my end? I don't think every single star Gaia has discovered is the same spectral type and stage. If it's fixable please lmk.

@nebulae It runs fine on my PC on max settings, and I only have a 3050 with a ryzen 5600X, so not the greatest there is, not denying that its good, but yeah.

unless u have a nasa computer, your pc will literally blow up in a 50,000,000,000 megaton explosion as soon as you launch spaceengine
harry.hb.larsson 29 Feb, 2024 @ 5:39am 
can you add the full 1.8 billion stars pretty please with a cherry on to

runs perfect 4090 64gb ram

question:this mod about the stars or galaxies too exist? thanks for the answer.
eraser1103 14 Nov, 2023 @ 4:07pm 
hope this works with 32 gb ram
CITYBUILDER2025 11 Oct, 2023 @ 2:41pm 
this garbage froze my game. i got 14m version. e

I should get a few PC upgrades first. Nuclear fusion is a good energy source but I don't want it in my bedroom
ChrisTop 30 Aug, 2023 @ 3:29am 
32GB, i wanna know: WILL it run?
moody1515 30 Mar, 2023 @ 8:14pm 
would 32 gb of ram and a 6 gb video card (1060) work just fine for this on a 1280x1024 screen?
8zs8a 31 Jan, 2023 @ 5:24pm 
23 gb of ram for me
gu​nk 22 Jan, 2023 @ 7:30pm 
this used about 12gb of ram lol
Eagle0110 2 Dec, 2022 @ 9:51am 
Okay so this only require RAM capacity, and a fast CPU to handle all of the stars, but GPU VRAM is not a limiting factor, right?
Flapples 10 Nov, 2022 @ 7:30am 
im going to buy a 12gb graphics card just so i can run this above 30 fps
Nebula girl <3 10 Aug, 2022 @ 3:55pm 
downloaded this loaded into the milky way next to earth the performance was much lower which tells me the mod is working but it didn't look like there was any difference in the number of stars in the galaxy? am i doing something wrong?
✰Vlad✰ 10 Aug, 2022 @ 9:40am 
good that i brought a 3060 to play this mod
Yakonche 30 Jun, 2022 @ 6:11pm 
What configuration do you recommend to run this mod ?
Ænima462 6 Jun, 2022 @ 2:15pm 
will this be updated when DR3 comes out?
moody1515 21 Oct, 2020 @ 6:31am 
Yes Phunnie I was that someone that ran it with 16 GB lol. But I'm too impatient with 6-8 min load times so I went to the 15 million star add on with its more reasonable 3 min load times. I cap my fps to 30 fps for recording videos anyway so that one works the best for that.
moody1515 21 Oct, 2020 @ 6:29am 
I have 16 GB of RAM but 32 GB on standby (will only use it if I really need it) and a 2700X cpu with the 1060 GTX 6 GB video card, I ran the 30 million star add on for awhile and aside from the 6-8 min loading times all was fine. I went to the 15 million star add on and its more reasonable 3 min loading times when I realized that I didn't really need 30 million stars lol.
moody1515 21 Oct, 2020 @ 6:27am 
I ran this 30 million star add on for awhile but I got impatient with the 6-8 min loading times after a few weeks so I went to the 15 million star add on and I am fine with the 3 min loading times and all is well now :-)

(How did you NOT know what was causing your PC to die?)
Mr_Dalek 20 Sep, 2020 @ 5:23pm 
My grill broke a few weeks back, but this mod managed to make my computer as a good replacement. Thanks!
0NESHOTZXS 12 Sep, 2020 @ 3:46am 
is 1 bit of ram enough?
Cobson 24 Aug, 2020 @ 7:05pm 
Do the full GAIA catalog plz :Khappy:
Surf 18 Aug, 2020 @ 7:46am 
my compooter go rip very bad when load onto windows xp
johnhl2 7 Aug, 2020 @ 11:59pm 
What ever you do, Do not add this 30m stars,it fark up my Space engine program,
had to uninstall and reinstall every thing. this peace of shit hung for hours trying to load
even when i did not got to 30m star.
LAGUNA 3 Aug, 2020 @ 1:20pm 
my game probably won't even load
Optus2Savage 31 Jul, 2020 @ 3:09am 
Anyone wanna borrow a supercomputer from IBM or get a quantum computer so we can experience this modpack in 60fps?
t  [author] 26 Jul, 2020 @ 7:56pm 
it will work, it just won't run very well. Like I said below, there aren't really recommended specs because nothing will run this very well.
benandcoopersdad 26 Jul, 2020 @ 7:38pm 
I am using 16 gigabytes and an AMD Ryzen 5 3600x processor, and NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2070 Super. Will this addon work, or should I use a smaller catalogue of stars?
Xenomedes 26 Jul, 2020 @ 11:56am 
I am running this on a desktop with 32GB of RAM. The SE is currently eating around 16GB by itself so it looks like that 32GB of RAM would be more than enough.. except it will be heavily taxing on our poor CPU. frame rate obviously has significantly declined, universe map is almost grinding to a halt, and the loading time feels like eternity, but the greatest limiting factor is likely to be RAM... if you don't have enough RAM (24GB would suffice) some of those poor stars will start to populate the pagefile and annihilate the frame rate... It will even refuse to run if you don't have enough pagefile; I bet that the lower limit would be physical RAM + pagefile size (everyone probably as a few GB of it) = 20GB, i.e. 20GB of virtual RAM... if you have 8GB of RAM that would be >12GB pagefile; it will probably *run* but it won't run nicely... in such cases it *will* take eons to even load the game...
Tringle 26 Jul, 2020 @ 7:49am 
is 8GB enough ram?
t  [author] 25 Jul, 2020 @ 10:09pm 
Well, I can't really say there are recommended specs... Though minimum RAM should definitely be 16GB.
Optus2Savage 25 Jul, 2020 @ 8:16pm 
Holy shit just went from 200-150fps - 22. This modpack is no joke lmao
Optus2Savage 25 Jul, 2020 @ 6:28pm 
Thats amazing! What are the recommended specs for this mod to run with high settings? I have an OC i7 4690k with gtx 1080 and 16gb. Should I also install this game on SSD for this modpack to run smoother? Thanks
t  [author] 25 Jul, 2020 @ 10:01am 
Just run SE with this mod in the winter and use your pc as heater
Vraeth 25 Jul, 2020 @ 9:04am 
My PC has an overheating problem already, I think this will cause my PC to ignite the atmosphere with how hot it will be, it'll be worth it
t  [author] 22 Jul, 2020 @ 1:13pm 
Someone did it with 16GB, so it should be enough.
N0B0DY 22 Jul, 2020 @ 1:10pm 
Will 32GB RAM be enough?
