If it's just a question of dependency (i.e., my mod references something defined in another) then load order doesn't matter. The game is fairly robust at putting that kind of thing together (and it generally just ignores anything that it doesn't find defined anywhere so lacking the dependency won't crash the game or anything, unless you have actual file dependencies). If your mod is supposed to override something from another (i.e., this mod adds a tech that makes ships twice as fast, mine changes that tech to make them three times as fast), then load order matters. It basically works in alphabetical order by name, if you can believe it. So mods that absolutely need to override any others that might make modifications to a file tend to put ! at the start of their names.

Does resettling slaves still require as much influence as resettling a "citizen" pop? That's been my biggest peeve with slavery. You conquer an empire, and then have planets full of slave pops. In order to "spread them around" so you can use them effectively, you have to spend hundreds of influence points. Was this a conscious decision to make slavery more clunky,, or just an oversight? Like, I'd love if I could find a way for the cute fox race my fascist distopia enslaved to be used effectively as domestic servent. Say in staffing unity monuments or something where their production doesn't matter.

winterwerefox posted:The issue i have with your mod as it stands is getting those modifiers and events on dead worlds. Other than that, I really enjoy them. One set made some poor bronze age society have 0% happiness just from planet modifiers. Hey, thanks for the feedback. There's a few reason why they do show up on 'dead' worlds though. I understand from a game play perspective it can feel disappointing to see a cool modifier on a world you cannot colonize, but that shouldn't discourage you from further exploring. Consider them appearing on dead worlds for a multitude of reasons; it increases the aspect of exploration as you find something cool and hope to find it on a world you can colonize. Dead planets aren't all dead I cant just for gameplay not spawn modifiers on dead planets. It would make no sense from a story perspective. Who knows that dead frozen moon wasn't a thriving colony a thousand years ago? In fact I think not spawning modifiers on dead worlds will make the entire mod feel disconnected with the overall feel of the game. Suddenly dead worlds are just game play objects instead of potential 'narrative' objects. The way modifiers are rolled also heavily favours habitable worlds already. You should notice dead worlds have far less modifiers on them overall. If the world is not a dead world the modifiers have 2x as much chance to appear. With recent update I also changed the precursor spawn rates around a bit. 66% global reduction and a 50% increase for habitable worlds. Small nerf so they're less common but overall more common on worlds where you can use them. (Since they're now showing a discovery event as well). They'll still appear on dead worlds but that's part of the exploration. Sometimes you find something really interesting and cool but inaccessible. Makes replayability also a huge deal imho. I'll leave it at that as it's starting to feel rambley :p It's 7am and I'm on my first half of my first cup of coffee. But yeah feel free to make suggestions or point out modifiers that make little sense on dead worlds and I'll fix those (after modifier #100 it's become really hard to keep track of everything) .

Is there a console command to change your state ethos, or a way to mod the minimum support from 20% to 10% or something? 48% of my population are materialist, 18% xenophobic, and sub-10% everything else. Officially we're materialist, xenophobic, pacifist. I can embrace fanatic materialist but that gets rid of pacifist and what I really want to get rid of is xenophobe. Also, xenophobe and egalitarian don't play well together. Xenophobe wants all sorts of controls and discrimination against non-humans and egalitarians, despite being in an official xenophobic state, are very fussy about any sort of species-based restrictions (some of which I'm forbidden from changing due to my state ethos). Does a different sort of egalitarian faction form when you're officially xenophobic-egalitarian? Also I swear there's a xenophobe plot to keep my empire racist. I supported an egalitarian candidate since that was actually my 2nd most happy and supported ethos and she died like a month info office, I quickly supported the new faction leader and right before the vote he died suddenly as well but the election was nearly finished so no new candidates could enter and before I could click anything the leader of the xenophobes won the election. VERY suspicious. Baronjutter fucked around with this message at 06:48 on Apr 22, 2017 |

The minimum requirement to embrace is defined on a per-faction basis  Having said that, what helped factions not suck rear end for me was changing POP_ETHOS_DIVERGENCE_INTERVAL in defines from 360 to 90. Four chances per year instead of one means that pops sometimes actually do chance ethos, without it being too easy.

Yeah they get really grumpy when you say no. They also get even more grumpy when you try to listen in on them and fail the attempt horribly. Regarding fallen empires- has anyone ever had one that isn't awake, but chain declares war on you every time the truce is up? They're inferior to me and on the opposite side of the galaxy but it happens like clockwork. The civs in the way aren't particularly fond of me, so I can't send ships over to take care of them, but they send a 30k fleet over to my side of the galaxy every war. I end up doing a white peace and repeat the cycle again.

Kinetica posted:Yeah they get really grumpy when you say no. They also get even more grumpy when you try to listen in on them and fail the attempt horribly. Yes this has happened to me when I played a hard materialist empire that built synths and colonized the hell out of tomb worlds. The spiritualist FE was on a constant cycle of declaring war on me, getting owned, waiting, and declaring war again. It was around this time that I started wishing that the liberation war goal would join newly liberated systems to the previously liberated empire from the same enemy empire so that I don't get two or three near-identical tiny empires cluttering up the map. Their behavior was also annoying because my empire was basically on the warpath between two constantly feuding AEs. (They had a War in Heaven that somehow ended in a truce but kept getting into regular wars after that, which gave me my opening to declare independence from the xenophobe AE that I had decided discretion was the better part of valor with when they woke up right next to me. It was a great game that shows the full potential of the War in Heaven IMO and it makes me sad to hear that it's so lame for so many people.) This happened to the same empire when it was an AI in a later game and was wedged between two spiritualist FEs.

Completed a game of Stellaris for the first time (completed a Paradox game for the first time) with a Federation victory: I'm the Big Blue Blob in the lower right. My race was fox people but between a bunch of migration treaties and a few rounds of liberate-vassalise-integrate, I had roughly a dozen species in my sector by the end. Joined the federation formed by the Sovereignty and Commonwealth on the left, and got the League in the lighter red to join later on. Which was funny since we'd been at war a couple of times. Purple at the bottom were mostly cool with us but were getting eaten by the awakened xenophiles next door when the game ended. The dark green empire mostly kept to themselves, I barely intereracted with them. There used to be a small xenophobe empire between the Commonwealth and Sovereignty, but they summoned the Unbidden and promptly got eaten. I saved the day myself in short order, though. I've been using the ship designs from this Reddit thread and, let me tell you, it absolutely melts the Unbidden. After a couple of false starts, emergency retreats and rebuilds, my single deathstack wiped out three fleets of equal or greater size one after another without going below half strength. Then I went and helped to polish off an FE on the far left. Right after that the Xenophobe FE in the bright green started kicking off, struggled more against them. The Xenophiles were acting up too but didn't have time to do much. Our Federation struck against the Xenophobes while they were fighting the dark green empire and took a bunch of poorly developed worlds very quickly. I was working on eating up those turquoise parrot shits on the far right and getting ready to see off the Xenophiles when the game ended. Agrarian Idyll is super strong. Also I went up the genetic ascension path and the gene soldier Space Marines you get are ridiculous. Highly recommended, though I suppose the cyborg armies and not-Jedi from the other paths would work well too.

Welp that game is done. Tried to liberate -> integrate some of my neighbors to bust out of the corner I was hemmed in, and they were xenophobes so they promptly told me to gently caress right off. Then part of a federation snuck in to a little gap between my territory and the previously mentioned xenophobes and dropped some colonies which caused a bunch of border tension so they closed their borders cutting my empire in half. Then the declared on me, and I was doing alright until the far away parts of the federation made it in and just kicked the poo poo out of me. So now I've lost even more territory, am hemmed in even worse, and now have 0 chance of breaking out. Playing as the pacifists is fun for the unity, but gently caress it makes trying to expand mid game extremely difficult. And I never had a militarist faction pop up to move away from pacifism.

My first game after Utopia finally progressed to the point where I've built my first habitats, and wow, I did not expect them to work exactly like planets. For some reason I thought building a habitat automatically means getting population on it. I was pretty surprised when I had to build additional colony ships just to "colonize" my habitats! But anyway, after my first experimental habitats are now on-line, I'm quite satisfied with how this works. The double-colonization is a bit weird, but I can live with this. For me, the most important thing is: In future games I can just set planets to the lowest settings and give no fucks! Artificial planets for everyone!  Seriously, for my next game I'll try to make the galaxy as harrowingly empty as I can, plus 3-4 advanced races and a FE for additional flavor. Wasteland in Space, here we come. Another lesson I've learned: Never pick Discovery first. The first century is over and I'm already running out of stuff to research. Well poo poo, next time I take Discovery as second or third tradition, not right there at the beginning. Now let's see what happens to my space cats after the cyborgization-research finishes in a couple months... (If you can't tell, Utopia is kind of exciting for me.)
