📋 About This Mod

This revamp has gotten too large to accurately summarize. In short, Royal Galaxy is a lightweight, Vanilla+ overhaul of everything I can improve in Starfield without creating a compatibility issue or straying too far from Vanilla.

Enemies will be stronger, but less spongey. Weapons will be more potent and balanced, but not drastically different from Vanilla. Aliens will be more fun and have better AI - and hundreds of other things.

I'm going back to saying "Compatible With Everything" if loaded before them. All issues people had in the past were almost 100% the reference limit which explains why I couldn't replicate it.

In early game, you will have to play more like a conventional RPG than in vanilla. You will have to lower the difficulty to normal or lower. This is the compromise for a fun late game.

Take your time. Look around at vendors for good weapons and armor with high-level upgrades. Join a faction and do missions to farm credits. Seek out Va'Ruun ships to board to try to get good weapon drops.

Consider being unethical and farming civilian outposts or avoiding fighting anything outside of spacers if you want to play "realistically" on high difficulty from level one. Consider doing easy, non-combat quests that mostly take place in cities at low levels. Stealth + melee is also viable. 

Depending on your load order, this might be best experienced on "Very Easy" difficulty in early game, moving only up to "Normal" or "Hard" as you progress. Very Hard and Extreme are doable if you min/max. (I am currently getting overrun by the new randomized Bedlam enemies. I didn't realize how much I had the spawns memorized!)

This includes all my released mods and plenty of other things. 

You do not need to install anything else to enjoy Royal Galaxy.

What am I working on Right Now?

Royal Galaxy focused on being an unintrusive, Vanilla+ overhaul. I kept things as close to Vanilla as I could, while making the game more fun. That job feels done.

My upcoming mods and optional files will now stray further from Vanilla with features such as No Weapon Tiers, a Perk Overhaul, Space Combat overhauls, etc. The goal right now is to make combat and gameplay faster and more engaging -- while Royal Galaxy itself still offers a Vanilla+ experience, it's time for me to start adding some more (optional) flavor. =)

Some will be optional patches for Royal Galaxy, others will be new mods.

Royal Galaxy includes all Royal Mods released as part of Series One. I believe it is now feature complete.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the bundled mods — manual installs can get messy with 50+ files.

  • If you're using other gameplay mods, test Royal Galaxy on a new save first to avoid mid-playthrough issues.
