SystemNames2k mod: planet names for a whole galaxy

Post by Ax »

This mod currently contains 2.3k+ star system names, enough for the biggest monster galaxies to work without repetitions. The new names are not random AI-generated gibberish.

They are instead taken from real and fictional geographic places and settlements, as well as historical personalities from all eras. A big chunk of the collection actually stems from classic space opera sci-fi.

In addition to the Steam Workshop version, here is the standalone text file. Back up the game's original, and then replace it with the extracted version.

Have fun and let me know what you think!

Here are first 2020 (out of 2023) names from the original 80s Elite name generator ( https://github.com/jabbalaci/Elite/blob ... planets.py )

Put this either into data/ or it also works if you make a mod out of this single file or put into some other mod.
