Narrowing down ~10,000 mods for a Top 10 Stellaris Mods list wasn't easy, but here are Odin Gaming's favorites for the whole year of 2017. Includes more traditions, more ascension perks, more ship classes, AI improvements, visual improvements, and total overhauls.

Useful name generators for all sorts of naming schemes. Useful outside of fantasy, too e.g. planet naming conventions in Stellaris, city naming in Civilization, army naming in EU4!

The "Stellaris Mod Manager" tool by Wojciech Krysiak is an invaluable tool to anyone that uses more than a handful of mods in Stellaris. As the number of mods for Stellaris increases - and it's now in the region of 10,000, according to the Steam Workshop - so, too, does the opportunity for conflict. The Stellaris Module Manager will detect conflicts between mods in your load-out based on whether or not they both modify the same vanilla file. If they do, it identifies which file is conflicting and offers the ability to merge the changes, in the hopes that the mods become compatible.
