📋 About This Mod
This Mod changes the following values:
- Settlement Building timers are now 10 seconds long.
- Settlement decisions occur much more commonly! Expect to be floored, overseer!
- Maximum settlement populations have been vastly increased! Note: This may cause an immediate effect on the population, with new NPC's from other races appearing immediately.
- Settlement production now reflects the race and settlement wealth much more accurately. Poorer settlements may produce objects such as Launch Fuel or Warp Cells, whereas Richer settlements may produce more expensive equipment!
- Race choice now has much more importance in settlement choice! Gek settlements may be more agricultural, whereas Korvax settlements may produce scientific components and Vy'keen settlements may now produce unregulated weaponry upgrades.

- Active development with planned features like build cost rebalancing and new buildings
- Community-trusted with 229 endorsements and over 6,000 downloads

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're new to modding NMS, place the .pak file in the GAMEDATA/PCBANKS/MODS folder—create the MODS folder if it doesn't exist.
- Use the modular versions to test each change individually before committing to the complete mod.
- Back up your save before enabling the complete version, as population changes can be immediate and affect your settlement.
