Yep. Script logic is simple enough.
So, there's still a little interest in this mod, innit? Can't promise anything. I'd love to see this mod to be (partially) included in another, but...

Ok I got it, according to the information from reddit in the v3.2 the modifier "valid_for_country" has another type previously it was used as a factor value but currently it has to be used as a boolean value:

so this condition from the modification ("...\common\component_templates\00_utilities.txt"):

valid_for_country = {
modifier = {
factor = 0
has_authority = auth_machine_intelligence
}
}

- set factor to zero if a country is auth_machine_intelligence (if the factor is zero you cannot use the item)

has to be like this:

valid_for_country = {
NOT = { has_authority = auth_machine_intelligence }
}

- not valid for a country if it is auth_machine_intelligence

Also, same thing for the file with tfw armors("...\common\component_templates\tfw_utilities_armors.txt")

This message is for the author(I hope it will find a time for the fixing), or for people that have some skills in programming.

Can't work on it anymore

update when?

Can you please fix the fact that I can't put armour on my ships?

Sry mates barely have time to open Steam. See you on the holidays

Would love to see this mod fixed too, was playing it a lot and enjoying it's content right up until the update broke it.

Yeah, I can't put armor on ships either with this mod, it's odd

theres always time :)

I'll check it if I have a time

Yep still playing or was 3.2 scuttled this mod thou, no armour on ships.A salvage is needed.

Oh my

It's been a while since I last played, Stellaris. Since neither mod has been updated since though, I'm pretty sure the statement is still accurate.

there's tens of us. TENS!

Wow
People playing this do exist

Only problem I know of is that the FE patch doesnt work anymore, the FEs will have missing weapons and components, might be because they generators don't update for them.

Blagodaram!

we'll see I guess, your artwork has always been really good

Ha-ha, it's been a while...
I'm not sure if it still works, though

This mod still exists???

I used to use it back when we had to load our ships with 12 reactors in large module slots! Glad to know this still exists.

That's cool, didnt even think such a mod existed, thanks! Though the Pox bombardment still is quite rare, so therei s still a nieche for pestilence. x)

Yeah... Oh, have you tried this mod ? Maybe it will fix the situation with the pox.

Pox bombardment is the one added by the Irassian chain. It's supposed to be like pestilence bombardment, but it is buggy and useless, kills 1 pop after 10 years of bombing.
Understandable. Just know that, if you ever feel like going at it again, there is a bunch o people who would be very happy about it. :P

@*AngryAresNoises* hmmmm. Irassian events do add new bombardment stance? There are only selective, indiscriminate, armageddon, pox and raiding stances in the file. I also can't find anything about it in event files.
Bringing back pestilence bombardment requires some coding and this is not my favorite part of Stellaris :D I'm just struggling to force myself into it and make my time, due to many changes (tiles are gone) I will have to rewrite a half of the lines.

Anychance you could bring back the pestilence bombardment or something similar? Or at least fix the one that is added by vanilla through the Irassian precursor event chain, because that is bloody useless. x0

Hey there, thanks a lot!
I think the problem is with the game launcher. If sub-unsub for this mod doesn't help, maybe deleting launcher-v2.sqlite or json files in the folder YourUser\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris will help. The launcher will reconfigure these files on next launch.

Hi ,That Feel When

Thanks for this mod !it worked so far but now the launcher states a "missing descriptor file" so this mod isn't activated by the pdx launcher .
Do you have a clue ?can you help, your mod is really awesome !

Anyways Thanks f

regards

I'm glad it helped!
It seems the launcher reconfigures mod settings when you delete its json or sqlite files.

Deleted the File, now it's working again. Thanks for the tip!

@That Feel When Nope, haven't found a solution yet, will try the launchers mod reload function, if that doesn't work will try delete the file.

@*AngryAresNoises* Did you find a solution for that issue? I recently had the problem when all my installed mods were missing from the launcher. Only deleting the json file helped.

@Max Dude, watch the video in the description. This mod used to kick ass back in the day when there still was tiles, with buildings and all kind of sick sht. The author simply doesn't have the time/motivation anymore to mod on a game as frustrating as Stellaris.

it works, a good tech-mod (not so exzessive). A Level 2 Titan-weapon is missing.

For Future: additional buildings (new Buildings, not just improvements of vanilla) could be improve the mod further.... "Dark Matter Buildings" for example (Research+energie)

When I tried to play MP with a friend with this mod, we had different game versions for some reason. Guess it's a bug with the Workshop or the Launcher.

@Max does the mod work for you? In my game I don't get any of the content anymore.

@*AngryAresNoises* : Thats it. It is a vanilla Problem, i changed the mod-data for me (it is an easy task). I increased the stats 7%....

Oh, ok. Must have been a while xD Also for some reason the mod doesnt work for me anymore. May be a problem with steam or the launcher though.

Ah, ok. Well, you're right. If I continue to update this mod, I will keep in mind there are too many enineering techs now (last time I normally played this game phys techs prevailed in numbers... well, I thought so).

@That Feel When: The problem is that there is many many more engineering techs than there is Physics techs, so its easier to get physic weapons techs. But that's a vanilla problem, and if you wanna keep it vanilla friendly, you pretend that it isn't a problem at all.

@Max >upgrade kinetic weapons is harder
Why so?
tech_energy_lance_1 requires "tech_lasers_4" "tech_battleships"
tech_mass_accelerator_1 requires "tech_mass_drivers_4" "tech_battleships"
Plus they have the same cost and weight stats.

what is with a titan weapon? Kinetic Hammer should be a slightly "Damage per Second" (Baryon has 197-198; Kinetic should maybe have between 200 and 205 instead of 188-189) than Baryon Lance because of the fact, that engineering research in late-game has more options in compare to physics (upgrade kinetic weapons is harder).

Rest is fine

Thanks, will test it immediately.

Well... Sounds strange, but interesting :D
Sometimes I had strange ideas too that seemed pretty cool at the moment.
I've updated the mod btw. Report me if you find bugs or smth.

Much appreciated. I tried ESC in between, but it has some really weird additional features like AI research bonuses that reenable themselves each time you load the game... like seriously, wtf.

Hey. Sorry, having a big chunk of work IRL to digest.
I really missed a couple of slightly gamebreaking changes in component files. Will fix it soon.

That would be awesome xD

Thanks! I'll check it out, maybe I could fix it quickly. But first I have to find the sources of the mod.

Weapon animations are still the absolute best xD

Yeah, I think only the special strike craft for Hive minds and Machine Empires are a bit buggy, probably because of vanilla changes to Strike Craft.

Wow, that's unexpected. Does it still work?
