Purpose and preparation#

Egosoft lists Celludriel's X4 Universe Generator as WIP, intended to accelerate custom-universe creation. Configuration format and supported game version belong to a specific release; current compatibility is not claimed here.

First exercise#

  1. Read release instructions and prepare matching game data.
  2. Start with a minimal set of sectors and one clear connection.
  3. Generate into a separate folder; inspect outputs and unique macro names.
  4. Check galaxy/cluster/sector/zone references and connections.
  5. Use a test extension and a separate test start.

Expected result#

The output is a set of map files. Check sector accessibility and a concrete connection, rather than only a visual layout.

Checks and limits#

Read map structure and 9.00 resource areas before generation: an older region format is not automatically current.

Current button labels are unverified because the author's thread requires an access check. An existing save may not adopt world changes like a new start. Generation alone does not validate economy or missions.
