I was thinking about making a new sector and modding it into the game, what do you guys think? I'm not asking for help, I was just wondering what the community would think about it.
It'd be cool to have a whole new sector to explore. People would be expecting new monsters, new stats, planets, etc. You name it, they'll want it.
Thanks for the insight- I have a whole lot of time on my hands and I think that this would be a good learning experience. I should get the project started today or tomorrow.
The Radium expansion did just that with the Omega sector once upon a time. The project died out a long while back though its not terribly difficult to make the files work with the current version. If you're looking for a little inspiration you might find some there. Do keep in mind though that the devs plan to crunch survival down to a single sector when progression is revamped yet again, so this may affect modded sectors negatively in the future.
Nah - What the dev's are doing is a cosmetic change. Nothing game breaking for modders. Simply changing the celestial file to include all 10 levels in alpha sector. Then Have Sector "X" with forced PvP Because This is the same thing I did for my prototype when I test new features in my mod.
