I've finally got around to playing a game with the Shakturi on DWUR. They haven't showed-up yet in my game, but I have found a couple of their abandoned ships and use them as a fast strike force and for exploration of anomalies out of range of my dedicated exploration ships.

I've read on this forum ...

I don't understand how no one has a copy of 2.0. Is modding just dying for older games? Civ 4 had a super vibrant modding community that released some really cool mods from different universes yet it's also just as dead as DWU is. I feel like the modding we grew up with in the 90's early 2000's to ...

Download the mod below

This mod is back from the dead......

I do not use Mediafire so I have no link there for the Picard era mod V2......

But the below link is where I have the mod stored on my Microsoft account and this file will never be removed.......

Download the file "Star Trek Picard ...

Screenshot of Picard era V2 link once again available in Distant Worlds after downloading from link above......

I see there's a mod called Star Trek Federation Wars shown in your screenshot. Can I ask where you got that from, as I don't think it's on this site? I'm into changing ...

Yes, I'm still playing this game after all these years, using the DWUR/Bacon mod combo.

I have a question, does anyone use fighters and bombers? I experimented with them in early games but I play as human and tend to put phasers and missiles on my ships and use ship-boarding as a tactic, so by the ...

I've had to restart a few times as I learn things from gameplay that I want to do from the start, but my latest game is going well.

I've already killed another (small 2 system) empire that annoyed me and I got some of their remaining ships in the process as they 'surrendered' to me. I assumed it ...

It's right there on the main menu as 'change theme'.

Hi Bacon I've got a question if you don't mind me asking which is related to the "When Establish New Colony, immediately build this base" Empire Policy setting which I don't seem to be able to find a line of anywhere and was wondering if you what the line should be written as in the .txt file and ...

I know this is an old thread and nobody might be reading it anymore, but I recently had this same problem and I found what was causing it which might help somebody out there.

I've been playing DWU for ages with no problems, but last week it started to crash when saving games. I soon found what the ...

It joins the long list of teased mods that never get finished.

So I don't know if this mod specifically is what is causing it or maybe it is the DWUR Mod I use with this, but I can't seem to change the pictures of my ships, as soon as I do it reverts to the default one. It's somewhat annoying since Bacon mod suggests I can use multiple pics for the same class ...

I'll take another look at the multi-image thing. Thank you!



Don't bother, it's nothing you did. I've been doing some investigation myself on an older backup computer with DW already installed (didn't want to mess-up my present DW set-up) and I believe it's the expansion mod that's changed ...

It's really only a hassle if you like to design different sub-types of destroyers or whatever and want to have them visually different, otherwise it's not that bothersome or game-breaking.


You know...I do remember when either Alvek or Bacon introduced that feature of multiple ship graphics ...

It's a problem with DWUR. The multiple-ship pics works with vanilla bacon/expansion mod, just not with DWUR for some reason even if you do change them to escort1, escort2 etc.


Hrmm...definitely not something I did intentionally :oops:

Maybe it's how DWUR works with ExpansionMod / BaconMod ...

I was playing on 1400 stars with what I think was a 15x15 grid... or maybe 10x10... with 19 other empires.

I am not that bothered if I win or not, I just like to view my progress from time to time which is why I put that victory condition on.

...but I thought we was allowed to continue after a ...

Hello, I am struggling to find people who are knowledgeable about the game to help me with this issue.

I am playing the fantastic DWUR mod with the only the race specific victory conditions active and set to 100% as I like to be able to view them for RP purposes.

The problem is that when a race ...

Hello, I don't suppose someone could explain to me how to properly install this mod, I have modded this game before, it was specifically for the bacon mod but it was years ago and I don't quite remember how to do it, I used a video then but I can't seem to find it. I installed it into the same ...

I've been playing the DWUR mod in 'sandbox' mode with a 2000 star 15x15 irregular galaxy (a few games now, none to the end!) to get a feel for the game before playing a scenario or with victory conditions.

Question: How do other people use monitoring stations? Or do you not bother with them? I gave ...
