Desolation
This mod aims to create a more realistic worldbuilding experience while still providing Points of Interest (POIs) for players who enjoy exploring and grinding.
The first change restricts points of interest with human habitation to planets inside the settled systems, to those with breathable atmospheres outside, or to those with life. This aligns with the lore and makes settlers' decisions more logical, resulting in a more empty galaxy, as it should be. This change significantly reduces the number of randomly encountered human POIs while still leaving an infinite number to be found in the core worlds.
The mod also increases the amount of POIs that are visible from space, up to about ten per settled planet. This makes it easier to visit the rare POIs that you never seem to find, and gives the world a lived-in feel despite the empty planets. It also allows you to roleplay that you are only visiting settled parts of planets, explaining why there is life everywhere.
The POIs generated for radiant quests are unaffected, so there is still an infinite number to find, and each is more unique, as they will all have a context behind them. Locations you find on planet scans will also still show up, meaning each habitable planet still has some life, just not an infinite amount. As an added benefit, the Crimson Fleet is no longer the largest faction in the Settled Systems, with hundreds of bases on every planet.
To install it, download it using Vortex or M02.
Let me know if there are any changes you think I should add.
