In an alternate simulation, civilization is far less common. The three main races explored far fewer systems and developed them even less. To make matters worse, a plague has eradicated large portions of populations, leaving many places abandoned. Your exploration of the galaxy will be less likely to intersect with civilized beings or structures.

Warning: This is intended for new saves. If you want to apply this to an existing save, make sure you save in the Nexus Anomaly before loading, not just in the space station. Changes to system size are likely to kill you, otherwise.
This is an overhaul modpack that edits several files, some of which are commonly used by other mods. This will probably conflict if you use other mods. It is also not made to be modular, though the LUA file is included in the PAK and is cleanly divided for editing.
