Useful Mods/Themes
----------------------------------------------------------
Lower Speed and Range
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3632884
Drops the speeds of hyperdrives and makes thier progression via tech more gradual.
Hint: "Warpgates" don't exist in DW. Ignore any folks who complain about them.

Human Character Mod
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4064151
Uses a ton of "portraits" some tortured soul created for another game to replace the horrific default humans.
Hint: This mod is flawed in that it can generate characters with NO skills. I find this hillarious.

Remove Ship Symbols
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3626831
Gets rid of those huge geometric ID symbols which overlay on the main display.

Null Sound Mod
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2479146
Alters that annoying alert sound. God I hate that thing.

Gloom Effects (Plus optional ships)
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3038273
Shinier looking weapons and engines.
Hint: The orig. link is broke. Use the one down the linked page a bit.

Just Thruster FX
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4196310
I made this because I disliked the vanilla and other mod exhausts. You might not care.

"Stuff" UI Mod
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3631278
This is my preferred UI. You might like others.

Chrome UI
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3616300
Seems popular.

Real Star Names
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3322531
Adds 1000+ real star names to the game so you can bask in the heady hypermentalism of realistic deep space.

Smooth Stars
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4064952
Makes all the stars much less pixely when zoomed in.

Bacon Mod
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4263783
Has some v. interesting things that are cool and good.
Just a shame they're all packaged together into a kitchen sink thing so you can't pick the bits you want and ignore the bits you don't.

How to add your own music to DW
----------------------------------------------------------
Distant Worlds plays its soundtrack from a collection of plain old mp3 files, and if you want to add more all you need to do is:
	- Make sure the tracks you want to add are in an mp3 format, and will play in Windows Media Player
	- Copy your tracks to the folder ..\Distant Worlds\Sounds\Music
Doing this will ensure the music you add will appear in any themes you might want to use.

You can also set each theme to have its own soundtrack by adding the files to:
	- ..\Distant Worlds\Customization\<theme name>\Sounds\Music
This will totally override everything in the base game soundtrack with everything in the theme folder.
Good if want to create mods, or if you just want a theme with different music because reasons.

    Thankfully no, DW is one of the few games not infested by weebs or horsef*ckers.
