Quickfix

• Nihilistic acquisition perk reverted to vanilla settings since it was causing issues with Utopian Dream's 10% slave ratio bonus when using hives. It was forcing drones into the 'worker' strata effectively turning them into jobless ikkimoris.

Changelog V1.7>

• Fixed ! Reworked Advanced Ascension and ESAP compatibility. All for one, Efficient Executive and Enforce Prerogative are now available to Gestalt empires when using ESAP government ascension perks.

Changelog V1.6>

• Added a global flag for planetary diversity in Mastery of Nature so any PD techs unlocked with that perk do not show up in the description IF the user does NOT have PD's main mod active
  
• Added AA's Utopian Dream compatibility and merged effects for some vanilla perks, certain megastructures still require mega-engineering to avoid conflict with gigastructures. Unlocking megastructures with some ascension perks DO require that you have Utopian Dream active.

Changelog V1.5>

• Added localisation for Executive Vigor, Trascendent Learning and Imperial Prerogative new modifiers.
  
• Testing other mods and interactions.

Quickfix

• Securing load priority even more (just in case).
  
• Added sartek_ap_merger global flag for this mod so others can reference my mod (just in case).

Changelog V1.4>

• Improved compatibility by adding a few more global flags, modifiers, and language localisation lines.
  ESAP government perk modifiers for: Executive Vigor, Transcendent Learning, Imperial Prerogative, Ascendancy of the State, The Beautiful Bureaucracy, and any corporate/gestalt/hive equivalent now work as expected and the effects stack up to five times (previously only Ascendancy of the State and The Beautiful Bureaucracy applied government bonuses correctly).
  
• Added compatibility for Expanded Gestalts: Forgotten Queens, which no longer conflicts with Engineered Evolution; additionally, hive minds (if Forgotten Queens is activated) will have access to all paths, including Engineered Evolution, Life Assemblers, and Omniprescence.
  
• Expanded Stellaris Traditions and Plentiful Traditions had a duplicate localisation where two tradition trees were called "Biogenesis."EST "Biogenesis" tradition has been changed to the "Proliferation" tradition instead.
  
• Added executive vigor modifier tooltip icon gfx so there is no longer an empty purple square. Whenever you activate the perk, you will get an empire static modifer of +100 Edict Fund (if ESAP mod is deactivated) or +100 Edict Fund and an extra +20 for each government perk (up to 5 if ESAP mod is activated).
  
• Fixed a few typos in some ESAP perks.

Changelog v1.3>

• Added global flags to certain ascension perks so the mod can account for missing optional mods, allowing you to tailor your mod list to your liking.
  
• There is no longer a mod requirement list, however activating this mod only makes sense if you are interested in simplified ascension paths (psi-bio-cyber), localisation issues and/or more compatibility with any traditions/ascension perks.
  
• This could be the ultimate update, I will update for any bug and/or any vanilla updates that impact any compatibility. (lol)

Changelog V1.2>

• ESAP, Plentiful Perks, Unique Ascension Perks and ! Reworked Ascension Perks (! Reworked Ascension Perks already accounted for other AP mods compatibility) should work together and there is no ascension perk overwrites between them anymore with the last update.
  
• Unique Ascension Perks is now a requirement but is just for localisation, I could technically add the localisation to this mod but that also means that it will not account for any current translations that have been done for that mod.
  
• Mod screenshots uploaded!

Changelog V1.1>

• Updated .yml english localisation file with the correct encryption (UTF-8-BOM) and also added a replace folder to effectively change the localisation load order to LIOS (Last in, only served).
  
• Testing other ascension perks but no other changes to compatibility.
