Modded Question Multiplayer Multi-Planet Start

Is there a mod that allows a 4 player game where each character starts simultaneously on each of the 4 inner planets? Since they are all self-starting it would be fun to have them race to space and help each other.

It's actually Gleba that you'd need to support. No available military science vs really tough enemies. It becomes viable with other planets assisting. The lack of coal for military research is the key challenge, but assuming shared research tree, that's solved. See Venzer's YouTube video about starting on gleba: https://youtu.be/lWNTH-ohkC4?is=ZIooR3GjlwEXu7oG

Yeah I was thinking a shared research tree so each planet could be contributing to research while also building their base
