This is not a stand-alone mod, it will not work without Planetary Diversity.



This module adds 6 unique planets with events, some have special resources, origins that allow you to start with them and random nearby neighbour starting systems. They are balanced to have 1 or 2 on a small galaxy but all of them on a larger one. If you choose to have one in your game for any reason it will remove the system from other places. They give you access to special resources, technology and/or relics. None of these origins gain nearby nieghbhours, just like other strong planet starts in vanilla.

*Do not report mod incompatibilities.

*Please stop asking for the ability to make more of these planets classes, they are called Unique Worlds for a reason. I have no interest in changing that design choice but feel free to make your own sub-mod or patch to change that, I fully support it.
