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

Is this compatible with Boron Connections?

Thanks for updating :)

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.

I like the idea.
Tried it and got nice FPS in The Shallow, but The Deep drops to 25-30 on RTX 2080/12700KF

Performance update released.

I'll take a stab at it in a bit.

it's all good i still use i just wont ever want to go to it..maybe u can change it..it havent been to the other one yet ..

Sorry to hear. Thanks for trying it out though and the feedback. I tried to balance both sectors for around 40-50 FPS on my now relatively ancient 1080TI and 1950X threadripper but there's lots of combos that could act up I imagine.

Performance drops like a rock in the Shallows, even with everything lowered to minimum.

Shame really, as unlike Boron Connections this mod doesn't hook the Boron sectors up to a frickin Xenon sector, thus shattering the relatively peaceful conditions there.

Mind you I'm playing on the Linux build of X4 with an Nvidia GPU, so maybe it's a problem with that specific combo.

@XxSariusxX: no it does not. I chose not to use that one as I know some other sector mods already do, plus who knows when Egosoft may do something with it.

@Plissken: if you save your game while in either sector, exit the game, then uninstall the mod, your save won’t open because it has nowhere to place you. You can reinstall, move your character somewhere else and save, then uninstall and you’ll be good. If this isn’t your case with save location I’d like to know more as I haven’t heard of it.

for info: does the connection to Argon Prime use the portal offline?

Does anyone know if this is compatible with Uncharted Skies? I don't think it conflicts, but I thought I'd ask

Nice Mod but collide with the X-Universe Mod :( is it possible to place the 2 Sektors each 1 field down? a connetion from ARG to BOR would be Amazing

Thank you

Thank you

Done!

Can you add things like the encyclopedia page or a map overview to the mod images? I'd at least like to know what kind of sector-resources I'm going to add, if any :D

Correct. To be non-spoiler as possible, there are two sectors. One on the Argon side, one on the Boron side. The connection between the two sectors is broken until the relevant point in the KE story that allows Boron into the galaxy.

for clarification purposes: If I start the game with it, the connection between Argon Prime and Atreus Clouds will NOT open until I reach a certain plot point in KE story, yes?
