This mod makes the Sector size bigger and let's you change the number of star systems generated, with a new hyperstorm map.
By default this mod does:
- Increased map size 1.3x
- Doubles the number of star systems, including blackholes.
- New hyperspace storm pattern.
- Adds an option to toggle the creation of hyperstorms.
Custom amount of star systems:
You can change the size of the Sector and the number of systems to whatever you want in. Grand Sector\data\config\settings.json by changing the GrandSectorCount value.
And if you want or not hyperstorms in your sector with a few other values to play around.
If the hyperstorm pattern doesn't change read the spoiler.

Compatibility with Nexerelin:
First make a backup of Starsector\starsector-core\data\campaign\terrain\hyperspace_map.png.
Copy from this mod Grand Sector\data\campaign\terrain\anon-hyperspace.png and paste it on the game's folder Starsector\starsector-core\data\campaign\terrain. Then change rename the PNG to hyperspace_map.

Thanks to Dwarden, Histidine, TheWikiFish and /ssg/'s Anons for the help.
this is trivial i guess in the mod.info
"description":"\"Map size increased 1.3x, star system count increased by 2.5x",
should be i guess
"description":"Map size increased 1.3x, star system count increased by 2.5x",
as there is no double "
{
"id":"Z Grand Sector",
"name":"Z Grand Sector",
"author":"Alec",
"version":"0.1.1",
"description":"Map size increased 1.3x, star system count increased by 2.5x",
"gameVersion":"0.9.1a",
"jars":["jars/source.jar"],
}
now it should work ...
or use ZZ like some other mods trying to ensure they load last
you asked about the version checker files, here they are
.\StarSector\mods\Grand Sector\data\config\version\version_files.csv
Spoiler
version file
grandsector.version
.\StarSector\mods\Grand Sector\grandsector.version

ofcourse the 'localhost' part needs to be replaced by path to online version file when possible
small request for customization
could you include those two values ?
float CELL_SIZE
int CONSTELLATION_CELLS
for SectorProcGenMod.java
//default 2000
public static final float CELL_SIZE = Global.getSettings().getFloat("cellSizeGS");
//default 10
public static final int CONSTELLATION_CELLS = Global.getSettings().getInt("constellationCellsGS");
for settings.json
"cellSizeGS":2000,
"constellationCellsGS":10,
int numArcs
the numArcs generates those random arcs at hyperspace cloud map
let's just change that first float value from Default code:
int numArcs = (int) (20f + 8f * random.nextFloat());
so
for SectorProcGenMod.java
// random value from settings, default 20
float numArcsRndGS = Global.getSettings().getFloat("rndArcsGS");
int numArcs = (int) (rndArcsGS + 8f * random.nextFloat());
for settings.json
"sectorWidth":312000,
"sectorHeight":180000,
"GrandSectorCellSize":3000,
"GrandSectorConstellationCellSize":7,
"GrandSectorCount":1024,
"GrandSectorRndArcs":64,
for me atm. this is above the playable treshold, with 7GB starting and 14GB ending ranges
i'm also using custom generated noise texture for hyperspace storms map
as that needs to scale with width/height values (dozens values i tested, for each i got new texture)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zhhJOzph6tYksekCNWc45u6zc0k-ux7I
my noise texture for the hyperspace storms
note: to calculate size of picture i use divider, by 200 for the map x,y sizes
so e.g. 2560x1440 texture equals approx
"sectorWidth":512000
"sectorHeight":288000
the size of map can be +- 5% then as there is some overlap buffer
i got more resolutions but those are large unprocessed PNGs
while those available for download are already shrinked PNG
also from my observation, it's best if the x,y can be divided by the sector cell size
(and in case of this example those sectors can be divided by sector (stars) count too)
constellation cell size has effect on the density (and thus number) of those on resulting map
"sectorWidth":288000,
"sectorHeight":192000,
"GrandSectorCellSize":3000,
"GrandSectorConstellationCellSize":7,
"GrandSectorCount":1024,
"GrandSectorRndArcs":64,
texture used for hyperspace then was 1440x960
So maybe I'm crazy but I don't know where to look for the option to toggle hyperstorms on and off. Unless it's not available with Nexerelin also activated.
It's not just you. I just installed Grand Sector on top of Nexerelin and I have no idea how to turn off the storms :-)
Any help would be greatly appreciated from Alec or someone who has gotten it to work.

Go to starsector/mods/grandsector/data/config. Open settings in notepad.
Change:
"GrandSectorBoolHyperstorms":true,
"GrandSectorBoolHyperstorms":false,
