Royal Galaxy - A Starfield Revamp & Cut Content Restoration(Unofficial Port)

Royal Galaxy - A Starfield Revamp & Cut Content Restoration(Unofficial Port) 30/04/26 Author: JaeDL Version: 4.04 Compatible with the newer Free Lanes update

Due to the limit of text the description can display I have tried to truncate as much of it as possible while retaining as much information to what this mod does as best I can. Just know this overhauls many aspects of the game and including all information about it is not feasible. There's just too much info to list.

Description: Enhance the Settled Systems with bug fixes, QOL improvements, stronger Terrormorphs and Ashta, increased enemy spawns, and potent Starborn magic. Diversifies encounters, Points of Interest, Weathers, and Climates. 50+ bundled mods and ALL Royal Mods.

Royal Galaxy is intended to make the game as fun as humanly possible with an open world that is worth exploring. Using simple, safe modding methods, it tweaks little details of the game in a highly compatible way that will make your play time much more enjoyable. Enhances the game with countless bug and QOL fixes. The Settled Systems now offer a reasonable challenge. Terrormorphs and Ashta are a major threat. Starborn foes use more magic. Enemy spawns are increased for both land and space. More diverse encounters and Points of Interest. Improved weather and climates. Includes 50+ bundled mods into one package. You probably don't need to know every detail of what is changed to get the most experience; this is a highly Vanilla+ overhaul.

Depending on your load order, this might be best experienced on "Very Easy" difficulty in early game, moving only up to "Normal" or "Hard" as you progress. Very Hard and Extreme are doable if you min/max.

• Royal Weathers and Encounters

• Better Explosions and Explosives (e.g. All explosives and explosions tweaked, even jetpack explosions now do some small AoE damage to the enemies (or you) if too close. Massive canisters now do a 360-degree explosion that can leave a lingering burn.)
