I went into Space Age mostly unspoilered, and didn't think we were forced to start on Nauvis. They made it sound like each planet besides Aquilo was a potential starter, they even designed the early technologies to allow it. So it's a bizarre design choice that they didn't allow for custom starts.
This is the first and only mod I downloaded for my 2.0 playthrough right after I saw there was no custom planet start option. I went for a Vulcanus start, it works like a charm. I haven't encountered any issues so far. The progression feels smooth. The home planet asteroid change is great.
This is filling a gap that shouldn't be there. Thank you so much for your work. :)
