Having Astral Planes civics while Astral Rifts turned off?

[UltiBand]

Astral Planes offers players new fun civics. And while Dimensional Worship is strongly linked to Astral Rifts mechanic, Hyperspace Specialty, Dark Consortium and Sovereign Guardianship are not. (It also applies to megacorp and hivemind versions of civics).

I really enjoy this civics but I find Astral Rifts mechanic too overcomplicated and poorly connected to the rest of the game. So I prefer to have Astral Planes DLC always disabled.

Is this possible to add a switch to turn off Astral Rifts, Astral Threads and all stuff related to it without having to completely turn off the whole DLC, making all of its cool civics effectively unavailable in my regular playthrough?

What feels very broken are dimensional fleets... wish they could be disabled or restricted without disabling DLC completely.

Hah, personally I don't like the whole Astral Actions window. All of them feel kinda off. Half of them are related to the Rifts themselves and therefore don't feel like a real "reward". Others are just not unique at all, copying already existing actions, and are too boring to have a whole additional tab in UI you have to regularly manage.

And the DLC makes physics research too OP. No other mechanic in the game boosts one of your science branches that far from other two. I feel like playing on x5 rate WoW private server, not the actual official version of the game.

And yeah, Rifts. There's too many of them in a single playthrough, I usually get tired very quickly. While Archeology Sites don't require you to make a decision every single stage of it, Rifts force player to pay constant attention to what they pick.

So yeah, I want to have an option to remove the Astral Rifts mechanic while still retaining Astral Planes Civics picks for my fraction. Latest DLCs' civics are SO cool, I just can't ignore their existence.
