✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 296 endorsements and over 14k downloads.
- Recent update (May 2026) suggests active maintenance.
- Standalone design means no need for the full YAML mod.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the base game's star map UI; may conflict with other UI overhaul mods.
- No explicit compatibility notes for other mods or game versions.
For Stellaris players who want clearer, more informative tooltips when hovering over the star map. If you're tired of squinting at vague system info, this mod is for you. Skip if you prefer a vanilla UI or use heavy UI overhaul mods that might conflict.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod folder in your Stellaris mod directory (Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/mod) and enable it in the launcher.
- If you use other UI mods, test load order—this mod should work alongside most, but check for conflicts.
- Since it's a tooltip mod, no new game needed; it works on existing saves.
