Better Perks

Description
This mod aims to buff all of the Perks you would normally never pick and works great with mods that allow for more Perk picks than Vanila. All of the relevant changes should be in the Screenshot above.

If you like the mod, giving it a positive Rating would be great so more people can see it. Mod should be compatible with everything, except a mod that changes the Asencion Perks themselves and is also Save game compatible. Any feedback or suggestions are always welcomed and encouraged!

@Aphyxia I couldn't get it to work properly, so I just changed the way the building works. I think it's much better now anyway.

They are converted if you have the civic, or have any of the following on the planet:
has_building = building_institute
has_building = building_vultaum_reality_computer
has_building = building_fe_lab_1
has_building = building_fe_lab_2

I don't really see myself with a research planet without the institute so not a problem for me but maybe there is indeed a way to make it work without it.

@Aphyxia I think that will only happen if you have the correct civic, that turns your politicians into Science Directors. Before 4.0 it used to work so that other Civics would also get the bonuses. If i do it the way you suggested i think others Civics will just get politicians. I will figure out how exactly to change it so it makes sense, thanks a lot for the feedback!

The Archaeotech AP building Artifact Restoration Lab provides Science director jobs that produce nothing.
The correct way seems to add politician jobs which turn into science director jobs. Tested this out myself and it fixed the issue:

inline_script = {
script = "jobs/politician_add"
AMOUNT = 300
}

triggered_desc = {
trigger = {
exists = owner
owner = {
is_regular_empire = yes
}
}
text = job_head_researcher_desc
}

Ran a quick test to confirm, it's there like normal now. Thanks for the quick response and fix!

@scole86 I looked through the files and saw something that might have been causing the issue; it should work perfectly now. Thanks for the feedback! :steamhappy:

Tied to the most recent conversation below about World Shaper, is this mod currently making it so you can't select World Shaper on purpose? I also use Plentiful Traditions, and one of the ascension perks there requires World Shaper, so I had to turn this mod off to select World Shaper, then save and reactivate this mod. That let World Shaper stay and I could select the Plentiful Traditions perk to turn a Barren world into a Gaia world. It's not the biggest thing in the world, since there is a work around, but I thought I should mention it.

thank you. I brought it up because. of a mod I play with requires detox to work.
Smiley  [author] Jun 28 @ 8:36pm 
@johnsautistictouch For now, yes its effects are already covered by the World Shaper Perk. I am planning on updating the Perk to make it way better.

@Dominicius Thanks for the feedback. I seem to have messed something up when updating the mod for Wilderness Empires to be able to terraform as well. It should be fixed now!
