Automatic resettlement mod! It's amazing!

[Varlun]

Hey forum mods, don't move my post again. Noone looks at that sub forum. It needs to go here. Even people that aren't normally interested in mods stand to benefit enormously from this mod. Thanks.

I wanted to make a thread to highlight my favorite mod. This thing is absolutely fantastic.

Very simple but VERY effective mod! You can set it up to quite simply, automatically grab any unemployed pops and throw them to available jobs.

There's just a few things to understand going in.

1) It won't resettle people to jobs if there's no free housing available. I wish there was a setting for this, sadly there's not.

2) The mod gets confused if you disable job slots. It sees them as still available, so it'll end up piling all your unemployed pops onto that planet. Not a big deal, but it's important to know!

3) Be sure to change the policy setting at gamestart, so it takes "All Unemployed", not "Unemployed and Homeless". If you don't change this, it won't move the pops so long as they aren't overcrowded!

4) It needs to be enabled as a planetary decision from your capital!

5) It won't move people if you're below 1k energy.

I literally wouldn't play without this mod. It's such an immense timesaver. Completely removes the tedium of resettling pops around, especially once your empire gets to a certain size, it's just ridiculous.

This is already in the base game since the update, that's probably why they deleted your post.

It's an unlockable edict. It's not as good as the mod.

A QoL-feature has to be in the game right from the start and for everyone. EDIT: And yes, not locked behind any other game-feature. EDIT-END.

What's ridiculous to me is that they made it an unlockable edict rather than making it default behavior. The fact they realize it's a problem and decided not to do anything about it, is just... wow. They really expect people to suffer through constant resettlement. Give me a break.

Settlement is tied deeply into Stellaris ethic system thats why its not a feature that is implemented as a default.
Additionally the policy can be unlocked WELL before your planets are full enough to worry about forced resettlement.

That's a load of horse manure. That edict is deep into the galactic resolutions. Only one resolution gets passed every few years, by the time it gets passed you're long past the point of needing it. And who knows how effective it even is? It just "encourages" them to move. Doesn't mean they will, immediately, like the mod does, guaranteed, every time, and no limit to how many it'll move. And does it work on machines?

That's a lot of unknowns. The ethic is completely inferior to the mod, which you can trust.

1. You cannot enact if you are a Gestalt Consciousness.
2. The policy of resettlement is available as the start of the game.

The resettlement policy is not the edict for automatic resettlement. It's two different things.

It's time for a nice bump.

I realized an interesting statistic. If you look at the mod page, the number of subscribers is over HALF the number of unique visitors. So over half the people that have SEEN the mod, decided they wanted it.

That's an incredibly impressive adoption rate.

So by extension, it could probably safely be said that about half the people that'll see this thread will also end up using the mod. So that increases my desire to try and get the word out, because I know it's very helpful!

I would also recommend that if any of you have any friends that (actively) play Stellaris, recommend the mod to them as well! There's a high chance they'll appreciate it!
