Galactic Level Overhaul — +50 / Level 255
Community Rating
Galactic Level Overhaul increases the base level of every star system by 50 levels and raises the maximum level setting of every system to 255. It also increases by a bit the rate in which legendaries enemies appear.
Low-level systems remain easier than the galaxy’s most dangerous regions, but the entire system-level progression is shifted upward. This allows a much larger portion of the galaxy to remain relevant for high-level characters
Main Changes
Increases the base level of every star system by 50
Sets the maximum level of every star system to 255
Preserves the original level differences between systems
Makes previously low-level regions more appropriate for experienced characters
Expands the number of systems available for higher-level exploration
Helps prevent large portions of the galaxy from becoming trivial at higher player levels
Base System Levels
Every star system retains its original place in Starfield’s progression. The mod does not set every system to the same base level.
Instead, 50 levels are added to each system’s original level.
Examples:
Original Level 1 System → Level 50
Original Level 10 System → Level 60
Original Level 25 System → Level 75
Original Level 50 System → Level 100
Original Level 75 System → Level 125
This means lower-level systems will still be less dangerous than higher-level systems, but the entire galaxy now begins from a significantly higher difficulty baseline.
Maximum System Level
The maximum level setting for every star system has been raised to 255.
This does not mean that every system or enemy will automatically be level 255. It raises the system-level ceiling, allowing systems and their associated encounters to operate across a much higher level range when the game’s scaling and encounter calculations permit it.
Actual enemy levels may still be affected by:
Player level
Encounter-zone settings
Location-specific records
Quest-controlled enemies
NPC level restrictions
Starfield’s internal scaling rules
Other installed gameplay mods
What This Mod Does Not Directly Change
Player damage
Enemy damage
Enemy health
Combat AI
Weapon statistics
Armor statistics
Legendary enemy frequency
Experience rewards
Loot tables
Individual NPC records
Difficulty-menu settings
Compatibility
This mod should generally be compatible with:
Weapon and armor mods
Ship mods
Companion mods
Quest mods
Outpost mods
Visual and environmental mods
Most combat overhauls that do not edit star-system records
It may conflict with mods that directly alter:
Star-system base levels
Star-system maximum levels
Star-system records
Galactic progression
System-based encounter scaling
