Stellaris - Stellaris: Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy v.14052017 - Game mod - Download

Stellaris: Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is a mod for Stellaris, created by V0lt4ge.

Description (in author’s own words):

So after playing Stellaris for a while, I decided to try out some mods. I found some (pretty amazing ones) featuring Star Wars/Trek technologies, but I was a bit surprised that I couldn't find one featuring the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Some comments ask for it, yes, but up to now I didn't find such a mod.

So, that's why I decided to make one. This is my first mod ever, and luckily Stellaris has a very easy folder structure, easy to read object files and quite a lot of detailed explanations regarding modding.

This mod is still in development, and I will keep improving it in the near future (if time permits). I am well aware that this mod is probably way overpowered, but I made it so that all technologies are player-only. It wouldn't be fair if a fallen empire could cross the entire galaxy in a single jump now, would it? (Spoiler alert: yes, the Improbability Drive can do this) :)

This mod is primarily designed to be fun, although maybe I will bring out an additional version which is more balanced, depending on the demand. I also took the liberty of describing all research projects as close as possible to the original Hitchhiker's Guide, so I hope you enjoy reading the tech descriptions :)

Please, feel free to give me feedback on needed fixes or tweaks, or comments on how to improve this mod even further.

Technologies

This mod features lots of new technologies, including a next generation warp/hyper/jump drive based on the HHG saga, Deep Thought and the Infinite Improbability Drive! For a full overview of the technologies featured in this mod, see the tech tree added. A few technologies are listed below:

Future Additions

I hope to add new ships, like the Heart of Gold / Vogon ships, but as I'm quite inexperienced with creating 3D models of these ships I have to learn this first, it's just an idea
