Have you occupied all their poo poo? I haven't played a really oppressive empire yet so I don't have experience with them in Stellaris, but independence wars in Paradox games generally have a ticking warscore as long as the rebels remain independent, even if you've blown up all their troops.

 Woohoohoo, working on a Space Austria pack. Space Austria presumably took over all of earth before conquering space, so there will be African and Asian portraits in there too.

PittTheElder posted:If that's an Austrian pack why do the men all have the Wilhelm II moustache? The base mod also categorizes the Germans as a part of the 'Mammalian' species class, which, due to a current bug, means that only Imperial Germans show up as a selectable species in the mammlian class when trying to make a new civ. The workaround for that is to make a new species class and plop the Germans into that, so that they don't accidentally overwrite any other species in a vanilla species class. Of course, the problem with that is that all alien species and realm names are drawn from a big list in the game files, with only certain names drawn for certain species classes and no generic alien names available in a class-less pool. That means that if you make a new species class and a species from that class shows up in-game, if it's not a custom-made empire created by a player it'll end up with no demonym and a weird name like " Star Republic" or "Imperial _ Realms" because there's no name the game can draw on for that class. So, then, I had to make a new list of species names. The problem then is that species names also demand a reference to a namelist, and instead of just taking an Imperial German namelist available on the workshop already I ended up making a new one for the German species list. Then I got carried away and make a second, HRE-focused namelist. Then I said to myself "is all this work for just one species worth it? No, to justify all this, I need more portraits" so then I made an HRE portrait set. Then I realized I probably shouldn't release a German pack that's largely based upon another guy's work, so I went "poo poo, I should make another German-ish set and then release the HRE and that new set together, along with the namelists and species names", so I started on the Austria-Hungary thing. Now I'm contemplating a new Imperial German portrait set altogether. tldr: It's that one scene from Malcolm in the Middle of the dad replacing a light bulb, except it's modding.

Nice! Just modifying human portraits alone is daunting stuff, working on a new alien species altogether must be draining as hell. That end product's worth it, though.

Libluini, are your portraits overwrites of vanilla ones? I noticed that a few of them look like they're where dlc-bonus species are.

Working on graphic overhaul mods which don't match the point of the game are fun to do. Finally started experimenting with flag emblems today. Couldn't figure out gradients, so I just started making completely new sets of emblems instead of trying to sneak anything in.     It's too bad emblems can't just be recolored on their own using the in-game palette.

I kinda liked stone age primitive mechanics, but only because I like playing as Space Americans and found the idea of establishing extraterrestrial reservations to be highly ironic.

Oh hey, heads up with the required items for the goon pack mod: The British and American namesets are packaged into their respective standalone portrait mods now, so you don't need the separate nameset mods if you got the standalones anyways.

So I'm trying to work out some bugs in a mod and start up a fresh game to see if the most recent tweaks work and, welp Pretty sure I managed to spawn on the exact same planet as some random-gen civ.

Regarding robot portraits, mechanized pops look like they have a specific trait. Clothes and facial hair that species normally wear use the same triggering system used in events, so hair and clothes can be made to check for if a species has a specific trait, like being roboticized. It should be possible to make a mod where the graphics-switching part of the event uplifting a species into a robot body is disabled, leaving them with the same species graphic that they already have. From that, it's not hard (although it is tedious) to add in cyborg/robot-specific clothes that only appear if the species has the synth trait. The end result would be a species that still resembles the old organic species, but with, like, robo-beards and shiny cyborg clothes or whatever. The one downside to that approach is that you could select all the robo-clothes for your ruler in the empire creation menu, but after that ruler dies they would never show up again until the species does the synth thing.

Darnit, is the mod overwriting bug still not fixed?  I still can't seem to add any of my custom species back into the Humanoid class without overwriting all other humanoid species. I can't add into any preexisting categories. Heck, I can't even made a single-line custom defines file to change a single line in the vanilla defines.lua file, I either have to import it all over or not even bother- and that's even with the 1.5.1 beta on.

I forgot that only materialist empires can grant full citizenship to synths. How do I get a materialist faction to appear in an empire? Uh, asking for a friend. e: Moments after that and a materialist faction finally spawned. What other ways are there to promote a faction's growth other than the actual 'promote faction' thing?

I've been modding my game further into the opposite direction of what aesthetic the devs are going for.  It's fun to approach the game as "Victoria, but in space". Helps me really get into the spirit of sneering imperialism.

 While you guys are waiting for the next patch to roll out, why not jump the gun and play some Victoria 3? It's got all the fun things you've always wanted in Vicky 3, like spaceships and anachronisms. Seriously, the old-timey mod's finally done, come subscribe to it so my efforts weren't all in vain.
