yes I forgot it : <DatabasePlugin DataType="GameSettingDefinition, Assembly-CSharp">

Odd I have tryed your files but it is not working for me. Your files have very little diffrence from what I was previously trying.

The only diffrence I found is that in the datatable tag where you have 

xsi:SchemaLocation="../Documentation/Schemas/GameSettingDefinition.xsd" >

I have 

xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../Schemas/GameSettingDefinition.xsd">

Could you zip up you Testing mod folder and post it incase some seemingly unrelated part of it is making it work for you ?

Just double checked my public folder and the tiny had the defaults (4,2,2) launched a game and that was what I got, enabled the mod and back at 8,8,8 for tiny.

WorldSettingsDefinitions.xml

That is my file with just Name="GalaxySize" and only Tiny size changed.

<DatabasePlugin DataType="GameSettingDefinition, Assembly-CSharp">

<ExtraTypes>

<ExtraType DataType="WorldSettingDefinition, Assembly-CSharp" />

</ExtraTypes>

<FilePath>Settings/WorldSettingsDefinitions.xml</FilePath>

</DatabasePlugin>

And that is from my Testing.xml main plugin file

I only added the default WorldSettingDefinition Name="GalaxySize" with changes only made to the LuxuryResource[*]Types KeyValuePairs changing all 27 of them to the value 8.

If you have been able to unlock all luxurys in a tiny galaxy via a mod and without a single edit to the public files then I would very much like to see you mod files so I can see where I have gone wrong. But given that many others have this issue with WorldSettingDefinitions the fact your mod work is most likly due to you having edited the public files and forgetting to revert the edits.

If that is not the case please attach your mod files so that I can fix whatever mistake I have made in my own mod.

Using a mod (plus some changes to research speed) to show on a tiny galaxy and really any size I was able to get all luxuries to spawn.

This time I left the base quantities alone.

How much of the base WorldSettingsDefinitions.xml are you adding to your mod file?

Right but I'm saying I made a mod using that datatype and extra datatype exactly as you described

<DatabasePlugin DataType="GameSettingDefinition, Assembly-CSharp">

    <ExtraTypes>

        <ExtraType DataType="WorldSettingDefinition, Assembly-CSharp" />

    </ExtraTypes>

    <FilePath>Settings/WorldSettingsDefinitions.xml</FilePath>

</DatabasePlugin>

and it worked, proving the datatype works as intended. I couldn't be bothered earlier to play the game long enough to get to the next 2 tiers but will probably mod some research speeds or something and grab another screenshot after having unlocked all 3 levels.

The Problem here is that the WorldSettingDefinition extra datatype while recognised by the game (diagnostics would give an error if it wasn't) it does not seem to have an effect

I origanily tried this edit by directly editing the files before trying to make it a mod.

You can see by compairing our two pictures that the lack of the "? 0" shows the the game disabled the Resource.

I don't thing the Quantities is a limiting facotr as it olny affects the number of deposits that are placed, even in the event that a resource did not a single deposit placed it would still show  as a "? 0" instead of the current blank space.

I made the screen shot above by using the debug (Shift + F1 - Currently Disabled) Menu to spawn 100 of each luxury but only the enabled one appear.

I was able to get it to work on a Tiny Galaxy by editing the files directly and by using:

<DatabasePlugin DataType="GameSettingDefinition, Assembly-CSharp">

    <ExtraTypes>

        <ExtraType DataType="WorldSettingDefinition, Assembly-CSharp" />

    </ExtraTypes>

    <FilePath>Settings/WorldSettingsDefinitions.xml</FilePath>

</DatabasePlugin>

I reduced the Quantities too, incase that was a limiting factor which I'm sure it is.

<KeyValuePair Key="LuxuryResourceCommonTypes">8</KeyValuePair>

<KeyValuePair Key="LuxuryResourceUncommonTypes">8</KeyValuePair>

<KeyValuePair Key="LuxuryResourceRareTypes">8</KeyValuePair>

<KeyValuePair Key="LuxuryResourceVisibleCommonQuantity">1</KeyValuePair>

<KeyValuePair Key="LuxuryResourceCommonQuantity">1</KeyValuePair>

<KeyValuePair Key="LuxuryResourceUncommonQuantity">1</KeyValuePair>

<KeyValuePair Key="LuxuryResourceRareQuantity">1</KeyValuePair>

Same here, I tried to edit the IsolatedNodesQuantity parameter without effect too (put it to 40 to match the node number of a tiny map to try a 'no starline' game), it seems locked.

Similarly I made a mod that didn't quite do what I expected, it seems changing: <KeyValuePair Key="IsolatedNodesQuantity">8</KeyValuePair> on tiny maps from 8 to 0 and has not had any effect.

I've Tried using:

<DatabasePlugin DataType="GameSettingDefinition, Assembly-CSharp">

    <ExtraTypes>

        <ExtraType DataType="WorldSettingDefinition, Assembly-CSharp" />

    </ExtraTypes>

    <FilePath>Settings/WorldSettingsDefinitions.xml</FilePath>

</DatabasePlugin>

As a plugin but my changes don't seem to apply.

In Settings/WorldSettingsDefinitions.xml I changed all luxury type counts to 8 (so it should mean all luxurys are available during a game)

<KeyValuePair Key="LuxuryResourceCommonTypes">8</KeyValuePair>
<KeyValuePair Key="LuxuryResourceUncommonTypes">8</KeyValuePair>
<KeyValuePair Key="LuxuryResourceRareTypes">8</KeyValuePair>

but it acts as normal The smallist map size still only has 8 unlocked

(This edit works when done to the file in the public folder so this datatype does seem to be working)

To change WorldSettingsDefinitions.xml, you need to call <ExtraType DataType="WorldSettingDefinition, Assembly-CSharp" />

The DataType.txt miss maybe some data. I will update the file when new entries are added/updated.

If you look for a specific DataType and don't find it, ask me in this forum and I will try to find it for you ;) 

WorldSettingsDefinitions is not currently moddable, its an unsupported datatype as its not listed in the datatypes.txt but you can just manual edit the file with the changes you want, if the mod is for your personal use, but no workshop mod will be able to.

Is the WorldSettingsDefinitions file modable? What DataType would I use for this?

No Problem, Have fun with the huge galaxies

If you don't mind me asking why do you want so many nodes? as that large of a galaxy will alter game balance greatly making some factions & traits OP and others near worthless.

I love huge galaxies :) Ty for answer anyway.
