📋 About This Mod
This mod adds unique names for otherwise procedurally generated, uninteresting planets, breathing at least a little bit of life into them.
I tried to relate planetary names to the name of the star they orbit, drawing mostly on mythology, religion, geography, and cultural
and scientific personalities of civilizations and cultures across the world.
The project names all previously unnamed planets and moons.
In total, all 120 star systems have had their planets and moons fully named.
Installation
For installation just unzip the zip file into your Starfield game directory.
The 3 files provided should be in the /Data/Strings folder.
