Xeno Fauna (2.1)

This simple mod adds several planet-based alien animals (strategic resources) for you to discover and exploit.

Here's how you go about doing that:

1 - Research Xeno Fauna Exploitation (a new tier 1 Biology tech).
2 - Build a XenoFauna Studies on a planet.
3 - Clear some blockers on that planet.

Depending on local conditions, there's a very small chance that some interesting xeno fauna will be discovered once a blocker is cleared.

Each type provides a small empire bonus by just having it but you can build empire unique buildings on the deposit for further bonuses. The empire unique building on a deposit provides the majority of the empire modifiers, not the SR itself.

There are currently 10 different xeno fauna types to discover.

• A generic breeding center, that is built adjacent to a second deposit of a Xeno Fauna type already being exploited on another planet, increases that deposit by 1 once complete.
  
• Further, if there's no building on the second deposit, an additional specialised breeding center is immediately added to the deposit's tile.
  
• This allows you to exploit any additional instances of a Xeno Fauna type you are lucky enough to find.

No vanilla files are modified.
Built against v2.1.
Should work fine with an existing save-game.
Works with AlphaMod. Does not require AlphaMod. Is not included in AlphaMod.
The AI will discover and utilise xenofauna.
Is not Ironman achievement compatible.

If breeding space-borne creatures is more your thing, please try Gwen's Domesticated XenoFauna, which is one of the inspirations for this mod: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=817648237&searchtext=domesticated
