Ascension Perk

[mhar02]

Could someone make an ascension perk that gives you reduced ship upkeep? Or point me to somewhere where I can learn to do that?

Go to Stellaris launcher, under mods tab select “Mod Tools” in the top corner. The click “create mod”, under which you will put the name of the mod and directory (name it what you want).

It should say it created it. Now you will find a blank folder with the name of the directory under Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/mod/<directory of your mod>, where you will put the mod files.

Create a “common” folder and inside that a folder called “ascension_perks”, then make a txt file using notepad and name it whatever you want. This is where you start coding.

I haven’t made any ascension perks, so I am not sure, but just copy a vanilla one into the folder and change it’s name to something like ap_ship_cost_reduce. Under the line where it says modifiers, you will put in a specific line of code for reducing ship upkeep. Unfortunately someone else will have to tell you that modifier name.

Besides that, you need graphics and localization, which I can’t tell you how to do for APs, but I hope this helped somewhat.
