All this time and this mod still works.

I actually think that this makes more sense than what we have now. I always found it silly how charging hyperdrives take 15 days, while the FTL travel itself only lasts 3 days max. More time travelling, less time charging please!

Khorne Flakes, could you be more specific about your last message about adding stuff ? what to do exactly ? (Ultra noob in modding here)

I have been looking exactly for something like this. Many thanks for the detailed explanations, both to the author and to Khorne Flakes!

You might wanna go through the vanilla 00_defines.txt and add things to your modded defines, accommodating for the slower hyper travel speed. Stuff like DEBRIS_DAYS, JUMP_DRIVE_COOLDOWN, ENFORCE_STATUS_QUO_MONTHS, WAR_EXHAUSTION, etc. Those ones specifically need to be in NGameplay's brackets, not NShip's.

I don't believe this mod works anymore but I could be wrong, haven't used it since ButtJunkie explained it and I just made my own(thanks again).

No idea, I haven't played Stellaris since 2019.

work on 3.9??

Yes people like me want the game to slow down and not be so quick, ships flying around the galaxy like as if they're driving on a road to downtown, plus going slow makes certain things better, saying certain things for a reason.

Go into the stellaris/common/defines folder and open 00_defines. Find:
"HYPERDRIVE_INTERSTELLAR_TRAVEL_SPEED"
It should be 1.0 by default. Lower it - note that lowering it too low (sorry can't remember the value) will cause ships to get stuck just before entering a system. There is a way to get around that, but it requires scripting and has an effect on performance (you create a script which fires occasionally giving ships an FTL speed boost for a single day, allowing them to finish the final day of the trip).

Could you or anyone else explain how to change hyperdrive speeds via modding? I really want to use a mod like this, but I can't find one thats up-to-date.

Well it's just a few defines tweaks, so it's not really 'incorporating', it's a simple mod. That said I'll update this, because the problem with a combination mod like that is people can't necessarily choose what they want. E.g. I just want the speed change - I've got my own galaxy generation mod, and my overhaul covers everything else.

Thumbs up for updating. Game Options Expanded already incorporated your mod, probably you don't have to work over all stuff...

Ok I'll update. I also like to torture myself ;)

I for one would love to have this updated. If anything, slow the ships down slightly more, they still move through hyperspace a little fast for me (or publish a base mod, with instructions on how we can slow them down further ourselves)

Some people like to torture themselves with slower speeds lol. Idk if more than one person would be interested but hey, you have one who wouldn't mind it being updated but if it works there is no rush.

Still works, but I'm surprised people are using it since all it does is slow down hyperlane speed (it used to do more before vanilla 2.0). Do people want this updated?

Is this mod still working or requiring an update since 2.2?

It's largely redundant. Right now it just slows hyperdrive by 90%, which roughly doubles total travel time (inc travel through systems).

Does this still work?

@Einolf Yes

Does real space work with this mod ?

I really like your mods and your balancing ;)
Ever thought about balancing the Vanilla Ships, in regard of built time, cost and Fleet size?

That's a good suggestion. I'm tempted to lower growth speed and increase colonisation/expansion costs as well, going back to the original idea of the mod.

Minor suggestion- have higher tier drive techs increase ship_interstellar_speed_mult. Vanilla hyperdrive upgrades only effect windup, and since youve made that 3 days base, hyperdrive 3 only saves you a whole day and a half of travel time.

Ok, I had it on 10% of normal speed and found it too slow, doubled it to 20% for now.

Updated, slowed hyperlane FTL down even more, remove cooldown and made windup 3 days.

@kelstr - FTL speed is the same, but they've massed slowed speed overall by requiring you to travel between jump points within systems.

I was watchign a video last night, they said that FTL movement is much slower in 2.0, but I do agree that we will need to make windup and cooldown minimal.

I love how this mod effects the borders to make them much smaller. Makes it was harder to have giant blob empires. There's so much "uncharted" space with this mod !!!

I'm SO excited for 2.0 !!

This is the best mod on the fucking workshop, hands down :)

This Mod effects Empire size as well, hard to take over othe planets if you cant get to them.

You can, it just takes longer, which is the point. It's similar to how Stellaris 2.0 will be.

This makes the your empire so small you cant take other planets near by.

"Is this compatible with mods like Fallen Empires Expanded?"

I don't see why it wouldn't be, but I can't guarantee it. I don't think they'd touch the same files though.

"is there a way to ramp up the cost increase to distance for colonising and building outposts?"

in the common\defines\defines.txt file in your Stellaris directly, there will be a line for both the influence cost of colonising and building outposts. Just search for either of those words - the lines will be in the same area.

hey, awesome mod, but is there a way to ramp up the cost increase to distance for colonising and building outposts? i'm at the galactic rim in an elliptical 2500 stars map (using your other mod) and some of the ai are creating horrible border gore colonizing planets & building outposts like half the galaxy away. i'm using hyperlanes only if that affects anything. thanks!

Is this compatible with mods like Fallen Empires Expanded? It adds new types of FE, one of them having a puppet estate that is partially independent

cool thanks for the help, maybe you should make this as an option?

If you're willing to go into the mod files: steam > steamapps > workshop > content > 281990 > 901614896 (open with->windows explorer) > map > galaxy > base > then change the following:

'num_stars_core_perc = 0.075'
to
'num_stars_core_perc = 0.0'

using a couple of your mods, really like them but i dont like a couple of things like the core of the galaxy filled with stars is there a way of making it like the vanilla core galaxy where its empty?

I'm not a fan of increasing charge time - if I had a choice, I'd lower it further and increase travel time. I'm not really going to change this much until the next big patch (a few months away).

could you increase charge time aswell? that would make getting the techs to boost recharge time more worth getting

Warp is 0.35, hyperlane is 1.0

Should I change Hyperlane travel to 0.35 too?

Ah ok thanks I'll do that. 1 seemed to work tho

Setting warp speed to 0.35 will return it to the vanilla value. Or you could place a # in front of the line so it just gets ignored.

Ok I think I did it with a bit of brute force search. I've changed the txt file in the defines folder warp values to 1 from 0.1. I'll give it a whirl and see if that helped. If I did something I wasn't supposed to please let me know. I don't wish to step on your toes or anything.

Hi there is there a way to remove the slower ftl feature since it conflicts with primitive players.

Sounds interresting. Well, I guess we have to wait until 2.0 is out.

@Marinho - seems they cover similar territory. I have plans for more ftl changes, but I'm not sure whether it's worth it given the upcoming changes in Stellaris. I'm pretty tempted to create a separate mod that focuses on hyperdrives. It'll make it more convenient to make significant changes and remain balanced, and still be compatible with Stellaris 2.0.

Sadly not compatible with (--ExOverhaul: FTL--)

Thank you, I gonna check out your other mod then :)

@Great - "Everything work except for this : "removed the hexagon borders around stars, and made the map 2d"

I need to update the description as I removed the hexagon and 3d star changes, since it's covered in another one of my mods (Cleaner Galaxy UI).

I haven't touched the planet icons (or resource/system icons).
