The Utopian Dream (3.8)

Buffed Ascension Perks & Earlier Megastructures
Requires Stellaris: Utopia DLC.

Several of the megastructure techs can be unlocked by other ascension perks.

• Enigmatic Engineering unlocks the Mega Art Installation tech.
  
• Eternal Vigilance unlocks the Sentry Array tech.
  
• Galactic Force Projection unlocks the Strategic Co-ordination Center tech.
  
• Master Builders unlocks the Matter Decompressor tech.
  
• Shared Destiny unlocks the Interstellar Assembly tech.
  
• Technological Ascendancy unlocks the Science Nexus tech.

Many early stages of megastructures with multiple upgrades no longer require the Mega-engineering tech, and have increasing tech tier requirements instead.

Lots of changes have been made to Ascension Perks to make them less rubbish and more game-changing.

Megastructures that require a specific DLC will still require you have that DLC.
Ascension Perks that require a specific DLC will still require you have that DLC
You DO need the Utopia DLC regardless.

This mod modifies
common/ascension_perks/00_ascension_perks.txt
and several files in common/megastructures

If another mod over-rides any of those, it's unlikely to be compatible with this mod. It will depend on load order. I can't prescribe that now, so you'll have to figure it out.

Updated for v3.8.x.
Should be fine with an existing save-game, although some tech unlocks from APs won't be retro-active.
Not ironpants cheev compatible.
