Why cant you simply reveal yourself to Pre-FTL?

[Gondola]

I shouldn't need to wait for awareness to increase. Am I missing something. Diplomacy and Espionage are greyed out, even with my policies allowing it.

[Planguy]

You need to change your policies.

[Chasedtuna9]

only requirements are Active or Aggressive pre-ftl interference in your policies from what i can find.

[Terijian]

you probably have aggressive (or subtle) interference policy, you need active instead

tbh i think its a bug because you should be able to reveal with aggressive policy too, so i guess fixed in a few days

[Gondola]

Strange, I have mine on Active already. I just changed it to aggressive, but still both the Diplomacy and Espionage are greyed out. It says, I need to make contact first, but there isnt a clear way to make contact.

[Terijian]

did you build an observation post above the planet

[Gondola]

Yeah I did, seems to be a bug. I built it but it doesnt become discovered

Events, taking place located at the planet, can block revealing. For instance, the rogue scientist event.

I guess they're not looking up.

Any active Galactic Council policies that prevent interference with pre-FTL civilizations?

- *comes down in a space ship on a middle ages civilization*
- Natives: The gods have finally blessed us with their presence!
- You: No, we're not gods, we're like you-
- Natives: We were made in the image of the gods?! Finally, proof that we are the chosen ones!
- You: Not what I meant chief, we're like you but we're just further ahea-
- Natives: Celebration! Revive the ancient rites!
- You: ...ok, sure why not, what's the worst that could happe...why are they digging up the cemetary?
- Natives: A sacrifice and procession for the gods! A present of the long passed dead!
- You: Oh god don't hang them from trees, what the heck-
- Natives: Feast upon the divinity of life and death, for we are in essence divine!
- You: No no no no no! Don't start just blood sacrificing peopl- why are you chopping that corpse up with a meat cleaver?!
- Natives: We must spread the divine message to all across our planet! The divinity of life and death, and purge the unbelievers!
- You: No, stop, this is all wrong and this is not what we mean- STOP EATING THE CORPSE!!

It was probably a mod I had, though i cant be sure which- only using mods that are updated, but I messed with my load order and it fixed it. Perhaps a load order issue, or a workshop issue not updating a mod.

Is it down to your empire type? Before, my Driven Assimilator could enlighten primitives, but now, I can't, so I just assimilate them on sight.

Might seem odd to some, but the bonus influence for a primitive helps with expansion, as the DA don't get a bonus to influence cost, like a Determined Exterminator, or a Devouring Swarm would. I could always assimilate them later when their usefulness in that regard had run its course.

But now, I just cannot get them to do FA on the enlightenment front, I decided my empire either uses em for social bonus, or just take their land.
