Craving a universe that endlessly expands? The Infinity mod for X4 delivers exactly that! Explore a vast expanse with procedurally generated sectors, seamlessly accessed through gates placed within the existing game world. Infinity lets you infinitely broaden your X4 experience, building your empire across uncharted territories!

Introduction
------------

This is a mod or an application that generates as much sectors as you want with a click of a button. X4 can now expand infinitly  You can add one and add another one any time you want. It also allows you to create hundreds of sectors if you want all at once. The app generally generates sectors and adds them to your extensions folder.

Compatibility
--------------

You do not need any additional DLCs. All gates to the new sectors will be generated procedurally in one of the vanilla sectors.
This mod does not need a fresh start. You can add the new sectors to your existing saves. Like any other mod, if you save after a sector is generated and if you delete that sector after that, the save will not load.
If you plan to generate massive amounts of sectors (e.g. 500+ sectors) in one go, it is recommended to start a fresh game.
This should be compatible with all versions of X4 including Timelines
Make sure you do not have any mod folder in the extensions folder that has the folder naming scheme like 'tlxx..' where the 'xx' s stand for numbers.

Installation
------------

Unzip and put the 'X4 Infinity' folder any where you want and run the X4 Infinity.exe (preferably as admin)

Usage 
-----

First input the number of sectors you want to add. (if you have already done so, you will see the number of 'Already Generated = xxx')
Generate Sectors: This will first ask you where your extensions folder is located. You can also browse to that folder with the 'Browse Extension' button. It will then generate the sectors for you in the extensions folder.
Browse Extension: Select the extensions folder for your X4 as this is where the sectors will be generated for you.
Reset: This allows you to start generating sectors from 1. Make sure to delete all existing generated sectors (tl1,tl2, ...) from your extensions folder as well. This will give you a fresh start.
About: If you ever want to get in touch.

There is a video tutorial demoing how the mod works in the 'Video' tab above.

Notes
-----

This is a first version so, if and when you find a bug, do let me know.
The sectors are accessible to all factions and ships including AI.
The generated sectors use modified vanilla sector sky boxes.
Sectors exceeding 500 tend to overlap on the map but it will not affect your gameplay in any way. Will be fixed on the next update.

Enjoy!
Responsibly of course, for your CPUs sake ;)
