📋 About This Mod
Brings back the pre-Beyond actual distance to center value in the galaxy map. It is displayed when you select the "Distance to Center" path with the arrow keys.
Note that the value displayed on the top left is the distance from your camera to the center, while the value in the top middle is the distance from your current star system to the center.
Known issue:
The list of paths displays "Distance to Center (%DISTSTRING%)", this can't be changed unfortunately as the list and the displayed value use the same language key.
