DW Universe Compatible Mod List

Post by lurchi »

I guess we need a list similar to the Shadows one. Please post in this thread if your mod is compatible with Distant Worlds Universe. Include a link and a short description, not longer than three lines.

Compatible Mods:

Distant Worlds Extended Universe
18 new races for Distant Worlds set in the Distant Worlds universe bringing the race total to 40. Each with their own unique flavour, flags, dialog text, victory conditions, strengths, weaknesses. Each race has been balanced and brings with them their own challenges.

AI Improvement Mod
Does exactly what the name tag says, AI is better in any area that is moddable.

Lower Speed And Range Mod
All Hyperdrives are modded so they are slower and have less range. I also enhanced the differences between the drive systems so they are more unique. The goal is to slow the game down, reduce exploration and colonisation speed and generally make the galaxy feel more vast to create longer and more epic gameplay.

Star Wars: Ancient Fears
The Mod is set 15 years after "Episode VI: Return of the Jedi" and includes a Prebuilt Map, Star Wars Characters, Races, Ships, Flagshapes, Planets and Stations, and a New Soundtrack from the Star Wars movies and other epic SciFi Videogames.

Das Chrome UI Mods
UI overhaul

Galactic Star Map
Gives you several maps with new scenarios.

Alien Immersion Project
Race-specific UI for each race and race-specific soundtracks - for each race different.

Stuff & Bits UI Mod
Replaces nearly all UI with GEM mod inspired assets. New planets, planet maps, plague icons, and cursors.

[DWU] Vanilla Race Balance
This is a mod that tweaks the race balance of vanilla races and governments. It also makes a single research change that strengthens espionage slightly. All of the changes have been inspired by either the race codex entries or victory conditions. This mod is still a WIP.

Babylon 5 Mod
Babylon 5 conversion

Star Trek The Picard Era
22 playable Star Trek Races (more may be added by release): Andorian, Bajoran, Benzite, Borg, Breen, Cardassian, Chalnoth, Dominion, Federation, Ferengi, Gorn, Hirogen, Kazon, Klingon, Ktarian, Reman, Romulan, Sheliak, Son'a, Tamarian, Tholian & Yridian
4 playable pirate groupings: The Orion Syndicate, The Maquis, The Korgath Barbarians & The Khan Privateers

Beyond Extended Universe
Maximization of difference between races compared to vannila and regular race mods and rebalance through implementation of race-specific Character Systems. Adding new races and governments. Race specific user interface, and full collection of 48 sets of race-specific diplomatic music. Unique portrait art for each character planned. Immersion Names following race-specific phonetics. WIP but fully playable at curent release providing alot of new stuff. Races: 48. Goverments: 22. Races with character system implemented: 11/48, Races with unique face implemented: 1/48. Mods integrated: 8

Human Revolution
Mankind broke up in many different, yet similar, but competing factions. The Human Revolution mod adds five new races to Distant Worlds and edits one. The standard human race is edited to reflect the background story of this mod, and three more interesting races are also added.

Resource Mod
Completly revised resource system with proper galactopedia including real world trivia to explain their 'theoretic' function in the game. This might help some roleplayers. Further, as most people might have wanted, the polymer is reduced to its prestate again: OIL! You can and are allowed to include it in other mods. You have to check the compatibility yourselves though.

Visual hyperdeny effect mod
New hyperdeny effect.

No annoying ship symbols mod
Removes the ship symbols.

Warhammer 40k
Set in the Warhammer 40k universe, this mod for Distant Worlds is a total conversion, meaning that just about everything is different from the vanilla game. The player takes control of one of 25 different races that were present in one of the Warhammer universes most tumultuous eras: The Great Crusade. The aim of the mod is to introduce more intense battles on both land and in space, more tricky diplomatic situations and more fog of war while minimizing logistical and economic challenges.




Upcoming Mods:

Research Reloaded
Research trees are restructured and significantly extended. There are lots of interesting new components, new facilities, new wonders, new governments, a new ressource, a new race, new everything. Hyperdrives are generally slower and have less range making the universe vaster and gameplay more epic.

Universa
Universa Addon for Distant Worlds Extended brings 21 new races to Distant World's extended for a total of 59 Races. The mod is currently a work in progress and I will be updating this post as I have more news.

Distant Races
Race add-on for Distant Worlds Extended that brings 36 new space-faring races to the forefront of galactic affairs. WIP, Universa-compatible version forthcoming upon the latter's release.
Compatible with DW:Universe 1.9.5.5 - Currently at alpha release containing 9/36 races.

Hey lurchi i going to do ALPHA.5 release soon (1-2 days) and its quite big
Fistly please move then Beyond mod to playable mod list since it already big mod pack and contain qty of new, it's own implemented things equal to size of few small mods together, and that without 8 mods that already included into it. Its much extended game already and fully working. Also full aim implementation might take alot of time, because it requires huge time of work to implement all the indended things, meanwhile as i said, its already stand alone working mod.
Also here i providing text this is for upcoming new release and you can already update it i guess.

Maximization of difference between races compared to vannila and regular race mods and rebalance through implementation of race-specific Character Systems (400-500 characters per race ) featuring race specializations, race-specific social structures, special groups/houses/castes within each race which influence empire's layout and race gameplay. Adding more flavour, immersion, lore, depth, and unique approach into each race play. . Adding new races and governments. Race specific user interface, and full collection of 48 sets of race-specific diplomatic music. Unique portrait art for each character planned. Immersion Names following race-specific phonetics. Big modpack with alot of good mods combined. WIP but fully playable at curent release providing alot of new stuff. Races: 48. Goverments: 22. Races with character system implemented: 11/48, Races with unique face implemented: 1/48. Mods integrated: 8

thanks.

It is just a minor mod and one of two I actually "finished" for Distant Worlds. Most of my time I mod EU III these days.

Resource Mod v.1.2

Completly revised resource system with proper galactopedia including real world trivia to explain their 'theoretic' function in the game. This might help some roleplayers. Further, as most people might have wanted, the polymer is reduced to its prestate again: OIL!

You can and are allowed to include it in other mods. You have to check the compatibility yourselves though.

I can open my link without a problem. It leads directly to the data folder of my homepage and starts a download. Maybe your browser blocks these kind of things...

I uploaded another version at an official upload site for those with hindering browser settings. Though I wonder why your problem happens at all.
