Per Ardua Ad Astra

This mod introduces several balance changes to Stellaris.

Main goals are to add more meaningful choices for the player and to adjust the pacing to allow for a more grand-strategy like feel of your space campaign.

Major Changes:
- Balance pass for all Buildings, Edicts, Ethics, Governments, Techs and Traits
- Reduced snowballing by adding Mineral upkeep to Farms and Labs, as well as significant Energy upkeep to undeveloped colonies
- Added unique buildings for Spiritualist and Xenophile ethics, buffed Xeno Zoo and allowed Colony Shelters to use F, M and E deposits from the get-go.
- Yield deposists are now less common and (on average) smaller in size
- Rebalanced Robots and Slaves - now less of a no-brainer
- Spiritualists will now tolerate non-sentient Robots and Spiritualist/Xenophobe Robots will no longer hate themselves
- Reduced base border range for colonies and outposts, but increased border range from pop count
- Slower survey speed during the early game, but higher chances to discover anomalies with better Sensor tech.
