New To Stellaris (Chronofuge Question)

[fefnir3284]

This game looks great, a space Civ, just better.
I have just one question, I don;t like the dying of old age. So I console command 'chronofuge' to my leaders and it works for all, except my leader. I am Imperial (which seems like the reason it is blocked), is there a work around for this? Google shows no answers.

Forecast for the next thread "My leaders are eating away all my Unity, what did I do wrong?"

*adds just enough unity to negate the immortality, no threat materializes

You should be able to do it using effects: https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Effects

To use them in the console, you basically have to enter a block of script code enclosed in "effect = { } " so like you can't make them too long. And you have to have them "scoped" on your cursor. The one most directly relevant to your desire is the "set_immortal = yes" effect which has to be typed in while you've got the leader in scope:

set_immortal Sets the scoped leader immortal. The 'no' case will not override immortality granted by species characteristics (but will disable immortality granted by this effect). set_immortal = yes
leader

So like the final console code would I think ultimately come down to "effect = { set_immortal = yes }

I have a pretty good idea of how to scope something directly from code, I'm not quite sure how to do it best from the console. To load a "planet" in scope, you just open up the planet view, and then any effect with "planet scope" is applied to that planet. So I'd imagine targeting a specific leader would work largely the same way. If the wiki's got an explanation on how to load him in scope, it should be here: https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Scopes

Another workaround you might find quicker would just to do be save-game editing. Save your game file, look for the configuration of a leader you've immortalized, then find the ruler's specification in the game save file and set the ruler the same way. The basic how-to on that method can be found here: https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Save-game_editing
