hey guys was just trying to get another campaign going and this time and i was going to try and run with a max amount of planets and a small amount of populated worlds with the hopes of getting a more fleshed out galaxy that might get expanded upon as time goes on, but i started it up and noticed that my factions were interspersed and mixed up all over the galaxy and was wondering if there was a way to concentrate npc starting locations so they can be clustered together with their own factions. Some kind of seem like they do, but its still a pretty mixed bag as a whole and id like to have each faction have a half a dozen planets of their own spread over a small area so they dont get rolled and can support each other economically or militarily if they arent all spread out.
anyone have any ideas on how i can group ai starting systems more together?

i ended up making a high system count and high planet count game which seems pretty cool, but they are still pretty interspersed and only a few have their own independent areas.

Any sort of randomly created populated worlds are mod features, so it would make more sense to discuss the in the appropriate mod thread.

I could make shared systems much rarer (IIRC the only case in vanilla that doesn't involve Pathers, pirates or indies is Valhalla)

You can't, except by editing the code.

This isn't really a thing; two planets in adjoining stars have no more ability to "support each other economically or militarily" each other for most purposes, than if they were 20 LY apart. (Same-system planets do at least share patrol fleets for defense)
