Distant Worlds A very indexed guide to autism   Note:   This is all very subjective, and no doubt there will be some differences of opinion here and there.         If that's the case throw some words in the thread and let me know if (when) I get something horribly wrong.         Calling me a faggot is entirely optional, and at your discretion.   Races Who are these horrible people, and why do they keep shooting my peaceful fully laden troop ships? https://pastebin.com/NHjX0Fzn   Planets Balls of rock. Why are they here? What do they want? Why can't I hold them all? https://pastebin.com/jsDmVYZQ   Weapons It's not a weapon, it's a mining tool. Honest. https://pastebin.com/Q0uwUtZY   Ship Design How to build your own fleet of magical rubber duckies. Ducky Ar La! https://pastebin.com/D8tq8WdV   Economy Care and feeding of interstellar empires. https://pastebin.com/g4tTAcfN   Troubleshooting Mommy, my game won't work and I am sad. https://pastebin.com/yrJhpusK   Modding: Manufactured Resources Have your space empire manufacture realistic squirting horsedongs for great profit and amusement. https://pastebin.com/4VYDPis2     ---------------------------------------------------------- Useful Mods/Themes ---------------------------------------------------------- Lower Speed and Range http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3632884 Drops the speeds of hyperdrives and makes thier progression via tech more gradual. Hint: "Warpgates" don't exist in DW. Ignore any faggots who complain about them.   Human Character Mod http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4064151 Uses a ton of "portraits" some autist created for another shit game to replace the horrific default humans. Hint: This mod is flawed in that it can generate characters with NO skills. I find this hillarious.   Remove Ship Symbols http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3626831 Gets rid of those huge geometric ID symbols which overlay on the main display.   Null Sound Mod http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2479146 Alters that fucking alert sound. God I hate that thing.   Gloom Effects (Plus optional ships) http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3038273 Shinier looking weapons and engines. Hint: The orig. link is broke. Use the one down the page a bit.   Just Thruster FX http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4196310 I made this because I disliked the vanilla and other mod exhausts. You might not care.   "Stuff" UI Mod http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3631278 This is my preferred UI. You might like others.   Chrome UI http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3616300 Seems popular.   Real Star Names http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3322531 Adds 1000+ real star names to the game so you can bask in the heady hyperautism of realistic deep space.   Smooth Stars http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4064952 Makes all the stars much less pixely when zoomed in.   Bacon Mod http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4263783 Has some v. interesting things that are cool and good. Just a shame they're all packaged together into a kitchen sink thing so you can't pick the bits you want and ignore the bits you don't.   ---------------------------------------------------------- How to add your own music to DW ---------------------------------------------------------- Distant Worlds plays its soundtrack from a collection of plain old mp3 files, and if you want to add more all you need to do is:     - Make sure the tracks you want to add are in an mp3 format, and will play in Windows Media Player     - Copy your tracks to the folder ..\Distant Worlds\Sounds\Music Doing this will ensure the music you add will appear in any themes you might want to use.   You can also set each theme to have its own soundtrack by adding the files to:     - ..\Distant Worlds\Customization\\Sounds\Music This will totally override everything in the base game soundtrack with everything in the theme folder. Good if want to create mods, or if you just want a theme with different music because reasons.     --------------------------------------------------- Anonymous 11/12/17(Sun)18:39:14 No.195412906▶>>195413068 File: Playsnark.gif (3.13 MB, 200x133) 3.13 MB       >>195412730     Thankfully no, DW is one of the few games not infested by weebs or horsefuckers. ---------------------------------------------------   >horsefuckers   Oh you sweet summer child....
