"This ship is too damn big!"? Here's how to change that. (WINDOWS)
This is just a quick "how to" on changing the mod's files just a tiny bit in order to change the size of the vessel itself.

I love this mod, I love the ship, I love all the care and love put into it, but the ship itself being larger than a sun? I've got a problem with that, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Here's what you have to do to change this yourself:

Wherever you installed Stellaris is important first. Let's pretend you just keep it in the "default" location for now. This should be the path where Stellaris itself is located:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stellaris

Cool! What does that tell you? ... well, where Stellaris is. Now you can get to its workshop files. Here's where that would be located:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\281990\

(Fun fact: If you open up the Stellaris Steam Store page, that 281990 is the Steam Store ID#. You can find that in the address bar on that page. You can use that to find the workshop file location for any game that doesn't have its own dedicated mods folder.)

Now from there you want to follow this path continuing on:

\901022971\gfx\models\ships\executor

(Fun fact: 90102297 is the Workshop ID# for this mod. Same as Store ID#s, you can find it in the address bar.)

After getting all the way here, open up the file called "_executor_entities.asset" with your text editor of choice. I go with Notepad; ain't broken, don't fix it. The fifth line says "scale = 4.0". You wanna make the ship smaller? Make that 3.9 or less. You want it larger? 4.1 or more. I don't know if you HAVE TO put the decimal point, but best to do it, anyway.

Oh, and if you play this with friends, make sure you all have that change edited in. The game might throw a hissy fit if you don't. I wouldn't know, I just changed it myself just before I started typing this and after I saw that it worked.

And there you have it. You've learned how to change the ship size, and maybe some tips about where to find Workshop files!

Comments, questions, concerns? Leave 'em here. Thank you to Zeratul for making the mod. I sincerely hope you don't mind this at all. I would make a mod doing it, but I have no clue how to do that, and the only one I could find is dead.

Much love!

Hey no problem, pal.

The decimal point is pretty important in this case, there a huge difference between 4.0 and 40.

I add decimal point just for my preference, of course going for 4 is good enough, as long as you state the size of the ship you want.

What I mean I don't know if you must put "4.0" instead of just "4". xD
