Ideology Simplified - Tree Connection (Continued)

Description
This is an update of Slashandz's original mod: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2650109123
I claim no ownership of the mod. This version may be taken down by request from the original author.

Original description

This mod simplifies the "Tree Connection" meme into the more focused "Gauranlen Connection" meme. Now you can choose to have the dryads without the tree hugging.


- "Tree Connection" renamed to "Gauranlen Connection"
- Impact changed from "High" to "Medium"
- No longer requires "Trees: Desired", "Rough Living: Welcomed", or "Temperature: Tough"
- Pruning Speed +25% > +100%
- No longer unlocks Plant Specialist.
- No longer unlocks Tree Sowing.
- Removed all of the moodlet stuff.
- Updated the auto-generated Ideology Narratives.



Why did you make this mod?
I love the idea of Ideology, but in its current state, I find it very restrictive. This is especially true when playing multi-ideo colonies. My hope is to make Ideology simpler, with a focus on rewarding the player rather than restricting or punishing them. Each meme should be exciting in its own way.

Tree Connection in particular restricted dryads to one specific belief system. I hope this change allows dryads to be central to a wide variety of ideologies.


Doesn't this make the game too easy?
I don't think so. But that's ultimately up to you.


Is this mod compatible with x mod?
This mod is a simple XML patch. It should be compatible with most mods.

@Koi As I'm just the version maintainer, not the original author, I can't give an authoritative answer, but I'm guessing its two reasons: a) the precept requirements forbidding chopping trees was removed and b) plant specialist was moved to their other simplification, Rancher to Farm Life (which I also have a maintained branch of)

Why would you remove plants specialist and then say "less restrictive"?

I wish this could keep plants specialist. You can actually make the ideologion without the mod active then reactivate the mod to keep plants specialist.

Yeah this meme basically makes my pagan tribe accurate without having them ridiculously having a mental breakdown every fucking time they want to light a fire. So thanks for that.
It'd be nice to see a penalty still existing when you chop trees, but maybe more like a -5 to mood then an insane -20.

From what I understand this just simply modifies the meme. It makes it less "tree huggery" and I haven't had any issues using this with at least Vanilla expanded ideo stuff. As a matter of fact it might even help make tree memes more simple in general, but that I'm not entirely sure about, just guessing.

Does this mod add a new meme or replace the old? Cause I like the Idea of the old for a play through but having the new one seems more friendly when playing other games.

I kindaa wish that this and its othr similar mods, added a new simplified meme, rather than changing the existing meme - or wait, is that what it actually does??

if i remember correctly this would throw an error when used with the ideology anima theme mod but it didnt actually cause any bugs, just in case anyone was wondering. cheers for the update
