New Config Tweaks - Show Habitable Planet Icon -Shadows Tweaks - Hair - Wind (Out of date)

Copy and paste the parts you want into a 2025 StarfieldCustom.ini

🍃Life Icon For Planets on StarmapAdd to your StarfieldCustom.ini

bStarMapEnableLifeIcon=1

I feel like this should have been a toggle in the menu, to be honest. It adds a cute green leaf next to planets with life.

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere; I wasn't aware of this config tweak. Hopefully I'll find more.

The bundled StarfieldCustom.ini includes many settings I'm messing around with if anyone else wants to experiment, as well as the generic settings I post for the Starborn Royalty Mod List.

Resources to look at:

All Config Settings/Defaults

Console Commands

I am not 100% confident in these abilities. I am testing them myself and I encourage others to do so and share the results. =)

Other Potentially Useful Tweaks:

fFavoritesGamepadDelay=0. 3

0 feels better, no delay. I actually did 0. 0001 I think to be safe.

fOpenMapHoldButtonSeconds=0. 55

Reduce to hold less long

bAllowDecalsOnAlpha=1

bDecalMultithreaded=1

bForceAllDecals=1

fDebrisDecalTimer=4. 0

More decals and Debris: This works, I'm pretty sure. I'm seeing so much blood. Not really my thing, so something to tweak. Not sure if multi-threading does anything for performance or why it was off by default.

bPrefer3rdCameraFlight=0

bPrefer3rdCameraOnFoot=0

Probably lets you change default camera

bDisableFarPlaneGPUCulling=0

Might boost performance. Most likely with other negatives, hence being disabled by default.

uMaxNumShadowCastingCelestialBodies=2

Defaults to 0 or -1, can't remember. Might add more shadows when planets are in the sky.

bFogEnabled=1

Defaults to 0. Maybe it makes things foggier?

bEnableDepthBasedFog=1

I think enables a nicer looking fog.

fWindHighestFrequency=8. 0

fWindInteriorCellSpeed=0. 4

fWindInteriorCellTurbulence=0. 4

fWindLowestFrequency=0. 5

fWindSpeedAABBScaleBoost=7. 0

fWindSpeedHighestHighMultiplier=2. 0

fWindSpeedLowestLowMultiplier=0. 01

Various wind tweaks that seem to increase wind, more moving foliage, maybe audio?
