Species of Stellaris (3.9.2)

I always found it fascinating in Stellaris the abundant amount of alien species that you can choose from when creating your empire, along with the randomized nature of encountering alien species while out exploring the galaxy. While I loved the variation here, some alien species felt like they were clumped together vaguely with their classification. This mod aims to solve that by making many more species classes to fit the species that exist in Stellaris. Below are the following eight new species classes added:

Species Classes:
Amoeboid (Amorphous-Like)
Amphiboid (Amphibian-Like)
Cephalapoid (Cephalopod-Like)
Crustacoid (Crustacean-Like)
Cyboroid (Cyborg-Like)
Infernoid (Fire-Based)
Gaseous (Gas-Based)
Zetanoid (Grey-Like)

• Additional pre-sapient species that can spawn in the galaxy. (excludes Cyboroid)
• Unique robot design for each new species class.
• Unique cityscapes for each new species class, including Ecumenopolis.
• Unique shipsets for Amoeboids, Crustaceoids, Infernoids, Gaseous and Zetanoids.
• Animated previously static portraits from the likes of Alien Suns: The Outer Rim by S.C. Watson, Octavio by Vic20, Peglaci Species Mod by dogkisser, Aquatic Portraits Mod by jaypeejamilson, Playable Gas Species and Playable Fire Species by Dameius Lame'ocrates.

Humanoid: 1 | Machine: 9 | Mammalian: 3 | Reptilian: 3 | Avian: 1 | Arthropoid: 5 | Molluscoid: 6 | Fungoid: 5 | Plantoid: 3 | Necroid: 2 | Aquatic: 8 | Toxoid: 2 | Amoeboid: 2 | Amphiboid: 2 | Cephalapoid: 4 | Crustacoid: 1 | Cyboroid: 17 | Gaseous: 4 | Infernoid: 1 | Zetanoid: 5 |

Species of Stellaris borrows portraits from vanilla species classes to fill these new classes.

As of right now, several of the species classes borrow ship appearance and name lists from various in-game species classes. I am looking to make each species class more unique and to add more species portraits to increase variation.

Included here are wonderful works from the likes of Stellaris mod creators S.C. Watson, Ginufe, Cavily, Cheek, Vic20, Radabit, Trickity, Rocket, Robicon, Twink315, dogkisser, Etiluos, jaypeejamilson, Brandross and Dameius Lame'ocrates. Special thanks to them for allowing permission for me to use their content in Species of Stellaris.

• Updated Species of Stellaris to newest patch Caelum 3.9.2

Huge update for Species of Stellaris, this patch functions more of an overhaul of the mod in general for the new patch Caelum 3.9.

• Species of Stellaris has been updated to 3.9.1 and the new portraits added with this patch, now appear as they should.
• Species classes Insectoids, Ichthyoids and Serpentoids have been removed, as I wanted to focus on species classes that are more interesting and actually have more distinct differences.
• Playable Gas Species and Playable Fire Species by Dameius Lame'ocrates has been integrated into Species of Stellaris. This introduces two exotic species classes; Gaseous Species and Infernoid Species. Features from these mods have been integrated as well. Please check out the original mod page to see the specific features. Special thanks to Dameius Lame'ocrates for granting permission for his excellent mods to be integrated into Species of Stellaris.
• Several vanilla portraits that were moved earlier to different species classes have been moved back to their original species classes. I only kept ones I felt that there was no denying they belong in in the assigned species class.
• Added Cheek's Custom Shipsets: Star Trek [Klingons] shipset by Cheek. This shipset is assigned to the gaseous species.
• Added Alternate Lithoid Ships by Brandross. This shipset is assigned to the Infernoid species.
• Added in the previously unused Rakata Octavio portrait that was part of the Octavio mod by Vic20. Portrait is animated and has been added to the Zetanoid species class.

Please see change notes for changes included in previous versions.

Please view required DLCs for the mod to see what is needed for this mod to work correctly.

Should be compatible with anything, as long as it doesn’t alter the base game species classes or primitives.
