Dear Steam! I am just pushing a 4.10 version of Galimulator to open beta testing. The biggest news in this release is Steam Workshop support - this allows you to share your own maps and ships with the rest of the community, and of course download the work of others. You can read more about making maps for Galimulator here: http://blog.galimulator.com/8-modding/4-galimulator-map-making-in-4-9-and-onward http://blog.galimulator.com/8-modding/2-maps And a bit about ships here: http://blog.galimulator.com/8-modding/3-modding-ships-in-galimulator The workshop can be viewed here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/808100/workshop/ (or through the Steam client)
Using mods
If you visit the workshop page and subscribe to something there, it will be automatically downloaded and made available as soon as you start up the Galimulator beta. Disabling them is a bit more tricky though, you will have to unsubscribe and manually delete the files, its a beta after all
Uploading mods
Once youve made the ship or map that you would like to share with the community, use the Share a mod button on the main screen - and you should be able to see your mod listed there. As a thumbnail, the game will use the latest screenshot taken - so make sure to grab one with the F12 key before submitting. Then you will go through a couple of steps submitting it. Once submitted, you can go into the workshop and change a bunch of stuff. Its not possible to change the thumbnail though, so be careful to upload the right one
Other fixes
Theres a bunch of other stuff too, like:
- Natives added to certain systems, will allow empires to constructs their ships
- A lot of cool new maps added
- Vassalization of empires (WIP)
- Highlighting of ship paths when selecting ships
- Blacklist empire specials
- New galaxy types: Solar system and Spaghetti
- Optional pathfinding improvements (fast during play but takes a long time to generate)
- Railgun weapon added
- Lots of bugs fixed and added

- Galimulator Linux [95.7 M]
- Watch in Observer mode
- Play around freely in Sandbox mode
- Take control in Emperor mode
Empires will:
- Wage war to conquer more stars
- Build ships to fight and do other strange things
- Encounter strange space monsters
- Venture out on intergalactic quests
- Research new technology
- Switch politics between expansion, fortification and more
- Build powerful (or useless) artifacts in space
- Transcend to unimaginable hyperbliss
Ultimately they will go away, crushed by a stronger race, victims of internal strife, eaten by space monsters, or some other fate. But new ones will take their place. It's the hypercircle of interstellar life in space.
Follow the fates of Dynasties and individual people as they rise from low level paper pushers, and rise to become Captains, Ministers or even Emperors.
In Emperor mode, you can control your own empire by using your Flagship to boost expansion and defense, build and control your ships, and manage your Spy network.
In Sandbox mode, you have full freedom to do pretty much what you want. Make empires degenerate, throw meteors at them, etc.
Or you can just observe, like an aquarium, except with interstellar space empires instead of fish.
- OS: Ubuntu 16.04 (probably works on other distros too)
