Realistic System Names mod

Post by Stuie »

First thing I do in any game like this is replace the weird star names with "realistic" names. To that end, I'm sharing my SystemNames.txt file containing 1360 "real" star names. I usually play with 1000 systems max so it's more than enough for me; if there's demand, I'll try to close the gap and fill in 615 more names for maps with 2000 systems.

Install: locate your \Distant Worlds 2\data folder (if playing through Steam, right click the game in your library and select "Browse Local Files"), backup the existing SystemNames.txt file and copy the attached file in its place.

Edit: Updated file to remove the number prefixes from all names; de-duped and ended up with 1360 names.

Updated download file. Removed all number prefixes from names and removed resulting duplicates.
