๐ Also yesterday we made it so you can increase the star limit or change the star seed (including making it use the world seed) via a config
stars past 780 use fake bayer designations instead of proper names to compensate.
โฆ๏ธ starcaller is up if anyone wants to toy around with it before modfest. Still not fully polished and stardust can get into incorrect states so don't bother reporting that, we're rewriting dust for another library soon. https://modrinth.com/mod/starcaller

๐ฌ So this is Starcaller. It's not fully done, but I think it speaks for itself.
day stars and new names
๐ฌ Worked on the list of star names a bit more, found out that the IAU also publishes a list of exoplanets and constellations - if we allow all of those to be "stars" that gets us to 725/780 names.
In practice we cut a few due to similarity, length, "definitely not a star name" factor etc - so we're filling in the remaining spots with a few alternate maori, hawaiian, and chinese star/asterism names - mostly picking out the notable stuff we can find that has the least romanisation issues.
๐ we're breaking out of our comfort zone for modfest 1.20 it's gonna be great. this was really hard btw. I mean it.
