Even though there’s already a wealth ofawesome mods available forStarfield, it’s still slim pickings in terms of substantial gameplay changes and revamps. Thanks to modder JaeDL, however, that problem too, is now partially resolved with thenew Royal Galaxy mod.
The fact thatStarfield‘s Creation Kit modding tools are not out yetkeeps the game’s modding community focused on simple tweaks, retexture mods, and configuration changes, instead of adding entirely new gear, features, andmechs. That hasn’t stopped JaeDL from trying their best to bump things up a notch forStarfield, though, and the end result is Royal Galaxy — over 40 disparate mods and fixes bundled into one comprehensive, streamlined plugin.
Revamping Starfield from tip to toe
From the looks of things, JaeDL is nothing if not thorough, and theirRoyal Galaxy mod documentationoutlines the mod’s purpose: to upgradeStarfieldin every possible way. “Royal Galaxy is intended to make the game as fun as humanly possible with an open world that is worth exploring,” notes JaeDL.
According to the modder, Royal Galaxy is “compatible with everything,” and the bundle is only the first of many to come. That’s why some promotional materials include the ‘Series One’ blurb, as other “Series” are planned later down the line, allowing players to pick and choose which bundles they wish to playStarfieldwith.
Broadly, here is averyinexhaustive list of new content, changes, and improvements included in theStarfieldRoyal Galaxy mod:
And many,manymore. If you’re interested in learning more about Royal Galaxy’s in-depth changes, we recommend going through that mod documentation list. The gist of it, though, is that virtually everything aboutStarfieldis tweaked to some extent. Whether those changes are slight or major, Royal Galaxy makes this process rather easy.
Infinity and Beyond?
JaeDL notes that, even though many of Royal Galaxy’s bundled mods are exclusive to the plugin, they will be working on separate, standalone releases for those who are a bit more picky. Of course, notallof the changes included in Royal Galaxy are from JaeDL, and they made sure to include a list of credits at the bottom ofthe mod’s Nexus page.
As thrilling as this might be, remember Bethesda is still updatingStarfield. The developeraims to update the game every six weeksor so in 2024, and that’s before accounting for major content additions, such asthe upcomingShattered SpaceDLC. In other words, as impressive as Royal Galaxy already might be, those who install it ought to be prepared for the eventuality that things will break as Bethesda keeps updatingStarfield, and JaeDL will need to continuously keep updating the bundle to keep it going.
