By "one" and "it", I mean this mod, the Andromeda one.

For some reason, one isn't working for me. The Milky Way Overhaul works fine, but even after unsubscribing, resubscribing, and deleting my cache, it still appears as the default. Any ideas on how to get this to work?

Triangulum would be great. I will explore more of game and give thoughts if I have any more, still new to game. Ty for the awesome mod

Not currently; I would like to release another update to this and the Milky Way one first, then idk, I'm open to ideas. Some people have suggested the Triangulum galaxy
ManiacMayhem 19 Apr @ 10:20am 
Anymore galaxies you guys planning on overhauling?
WildSirius  [author] 13 Apr @ 7:17pm 
Yeah, the galaxy is paler in-game than in the screenshots because I post process them in Photoshop, so that's why they look different. Still, by tweaking SE visual settings or processing your own screenshots you can get similar or better results.

@MrGost It's not purple in real life, it's not even very blue. Color in photos is mostly determined by processing.
MrGost 12 Apr @ 11:23pm 
can you make andromeda like more purple like the picturea
harry.hb.larsson 17 Dec, 2024 @ 8:17am 
i wish there was a mod for the andromeda galaxy that was both true color and also looked as it appears from earth as it does in real life
sirius2029 20 Apr, 2024 @ 12:16am 
Also very good. I think the spiral shape appears better now, which is also important. Of course, everything is very difficult to design, especially with the options available.
WildSirius  [author] 19 Apr, 2024 @ 8:09pm 
I updated the addon to SE 0.990.47.2015. I wasn't happy with how it looked before, so I revamped the texture for something I think looks better. Let me know what you think!

this makes my favorite galaxy 100x better
WildSirius  [author] 16 Sep, 2023 @ 1:12am 
@santiastronomo2 No, only Andromeda.
santiastronomo2 1 Sep, 2023 @ 5:07pm 
does it overhaul all other spiral galaxies too or am i just going crazy
WildSirius  [author] 26 Apr, 2023 @ 9:09pm 
I updated the mod to version 0.990.46.1955. If it doesn't work, try unsubscribing and reinstall again (don't forget to delete the cache folder before opening the game of course).
WildSirius  [author] 16 Apr, 2023 @ 5:32pm 
@AngelQueFirestar Sure! It also works with other galaxies addons like Loic Tomatot's galaxies pack
AngelQuFirestar 16 Apr, 2023 @ 4:16pm 
I'm assuming this works with your Milky Way mod, too?
WildSirius  [author] 2 Apr, 2023 @ 9:13pm 
I updated the mod to version 0.990.46.1950. If it doesn't work, try unsubscribing and reinstall again (don't forget to delete the cache folder before opening the game of course).

this addon broke in a update pls fix
IIIlllIIIlIIllIIll 11 Aug, 2022 @ 12:21pm 
I think LMC and the SMC are a larger priority because i really dont like visiting them as the textures are very low res so I think they a overhaul before Triangulum
WildSirius  [author] 21 Jul, 2022 @ 8:16am 
@Mutantbard64 I kinda like how the Triangulum galaxy looks already in the game but for the sake of it, I might do it one day. For now, I would like to polish the texture of Andromeda.
IIIlllIIIlIIllIIll 20 Jul, 2022 @ 11:23pm 
could you do this for the Triangulum galaxy?
gillsandeep1313 19 Jul, 2022 @ 4:47pm 
Hey, I'm looking to make the PERFECT Space Engine experience and these will really help me out a lot, i'm wondering if you could maybe rework the Solar System?
Rip Van Winkle 5 Jun, 2022 @ 6:29am 
keep up the great work! I recently got space engine but I had used the free version for years!
Jammer 8 May, 2022 @ 2:10pm 
These are the BEST galaxy texture mods I have ever seen! I really hope you keep doing this, the quality is stunning!
tav!n 30 Apr, 2022 @ 6:55pm 
next up we need triangulum! This is good man, keep it up!
:steamthumbsup:
WildSirius  [author] 25 Apr, 2022 @ 11:39am 
@N0B0DY Yeah, it's hard to distinguish the shape of Andromeda at the angle it is facing us. With the MilkyWay addon, Doc sent me an image with the basic structure of the galaxy, so it was easier to work from there. In the case of Andromeda, I couldn't find something similar (if someone does, please send it to me), so I had to work from imagination and from what I learned while working with the MilkyWay addon.
The first version of the MilkyWay addon had low-quality textures, but I agree that it resembles Andromeda. I'll look more into the topic and see if I can find useful info about its structure.
WildSirius  [author] 25 Apr, 2022 @ 11:08am 
@wii1000 I already like the look of the Triangulum galaxy, so I won't probably make an addon for it. For now, I'll focus on Andromeda.
Messi bostero 25 Apr, 2022 @ 7:17am 
The Andromeda galaxy is excellent, a question will you ask the triangulum galaxy?
sirius2029 25 Apr, 2022 @ 5:31am 
Nevertheless, the Overhal Galaxys have a higher image resolution.
N0B0DY 25 Apr, 2022 @ 1:02am 
@WildSirius I think what HarbDawn wants to say is that although it looks very nice, it does not match the real-life one in appearance. And that the default model achieves this better. The problem is it is difficult to judge because Andromeda is facing us at an angle and it is difficult to accuratly represent it. Also Scientists claim that our galaxy resebles Adnromeda in appearance and since we are inside our galaxy and it is difficult to make out its shape, you may as well represent Andromeda in a similar way to MilkyWay which is what it seems (again according to my subjective judgement) you did here. Personally I think your initial version of Milky Way could have been used for Andromeda with some minor modifications.
WildSirius  [author] 24 Apr, 2022 @ 1:35pm 
@ON3HUNDR3D GOLD Yes, you have to delete the cache folder before installing the addon (or uninstalling)
WildSirius  [author] 24 Apr, 2022 @ 1:27pm 
@jeromy_liang I don't think my galaxy addons are up to SE standards to be implemented in the game (mostly in terms of realism). I just made these to have something I personally like more to look at while the SE team improves galaxies in the future.
WildSirius  [author] 24 Apr, 2022 @ 1:21pm 
@HarbingerDawn Thank you! Do you have any suggestions to make it look more realistic? I'd appreciate it.
jeromy_liang 24 Apr, 2022 @ 11:39am 
Is there any chance that both this texture and the redesigned Milky Way textures will become the new default textures for those galaxies in a future update?
sirius2029 24 Apr, 2022 @ 5:10am 
Very good. With this change, the graphic error is gone. https://cs2bus.com/app/314650/discussions/0/3110277460808708189/
HarbingerDawn  [developer] 23 Apr, 2022 @ 9:13pm 
It looks very nice, but is significantly less realistic than the default model.
ON3HUNDR3D GOLD 23 Apr, 2022 @ 8:39pm 
Delete the cache folder before I install or uninstall, or it does not matter?
N0B0DY 21 Apr, 2022 @ 11:09pm 
The Galaxy Overhaul Master is back!
sirius2029 21 Apr, 2022 @ 2:55pm 
And again fantastic!
abidin1618 20 Apr, 2022 @ 10:26pm 
wow this is amazing!
