Timelapse 2200AD to 5200AD

Version: 2.0.2 Beta

Song: Stellaris: Faster Than Light

Here's how I created this timelapse:
1. Start a game with the desired settings
2. Open the console, enter "observe"
3. Use Open Broadcaster Studio to record the galaxy with the desired FPS value - I've been using something between 1/2 and 1/5 fraction FPS values (so 1 picture every 3 seconds for instance)
4. Import the resulting files to GoPro Studio, play those 0.33 FPS with 60 FPS - thus speeding it up significantly
5. Adjust some speed settings to scale up over time since the game will slow down as the game progresses

Voilá!

Used Mods:
At first I only had following mods activated:
- Hyperlane Transpararency Lite
- Thinner Borders
- Enigmatic Fortress Fix 2.0

Later I forgot to turn off following mods from my singleplayer games, resulting in slightly buggy - but pretty entertaining crisis!
- Dynamic Political Events
- Immersive Empire Names
- Multiple Crisis
- War Name Variety

There were occasional crashes of either OBS or Stellaris, thus here and there we are missing a few years.

All initial races were designed so that it's AI personalities match their name. Playing on large (800 Star) map, ring-shaped.

Overall, 90h of footage has been used.

At the end there were almost 1500 pops of Xenophobic Isolationists inhabiting the galaxy.
