Increasing the amount of nebula/systems in the Sector
« on: December 15, 2018, 01:14:53 PM »
So basically, I've increased the size of the sector size to something quite probably foolish. But now I want to add onto that foolishness by increasing the amount of stars and nebulas to explore! So I'd appreciate it if anyone can tell me where I can find what dictates the amount of systems inside the sector.

Far as I can tell, it'd be com.fs.starfarer.api.impl.campaign.procgen.SectorProcGen.java , which is an API class we have the code for (in starfarer.api.zip)

It has a lot of code that basically slices up the available area into cells and fills those cells with Stuff™.  I imagine, if you tweak some of the numbers in there (count looks like the obvious one to increase) and then work out how to tell the game to use your procgen instead of the default one, that should do what you want.  I know it's possible because other mods do it, but I couldn't actually tell you where straight away.
