Mod Updated, with many balance changes and bug fixes. See change log for details.

Hi, my arborial caretaker does not growth, is it ok?
Thank you for the mod! :)

Just started playing with this mod, and I absolutely ADORE it. It adds so many little details and tweaks that I wish were in vanilla Stellaris, but unlike other 'overhaul' mods doesn't completely change the way Stellaris is played. Easy favourite right here. Did notice some things tho.

The Organic Construction Civic seems to have a broken tooltip. It works just fine, but the description just read 'districts and certain buildings are entirely constructed out of food' like 10 times. Which is probably not the intent.

Also, I seem to be getting two layers of pop crime? The crime tab shows 'crime from pops +x' and then beneath it another, smaller 'crime from pops +x'. As in 'x' is smaller. And I know crime gets increased in this, but it seems.... like a lot. Am I maybe getting both vanilla AND this mod's increased crime? As is my starting planet almost always has 50+ crime at game start, which is not ideal.

Regardless, still an awesome mod.

If you want an example here it is
Before adding the mod: *being able to add oceanic trait on the modded ocean type planet*
After adding the mod: *not being able to add the oceanic trait becaue the species is not living in "THE" ocean planet*

This mod messes up with Planetary Diversity, making the planet type exclusive traits not counting the PD planets.

Yeah, it should be near the bottom. I named this when the load order was always alphabetical, and now I'm too scared I'll break something if I try to rename it.

+1 to @skip redoing my load order and im only assuming the z means at the bottom?

what is the load order?

Thank you sir!

Thank you for letting me know

A very small bug: the relic world hydroponics deposit (d_relic_hydroponics) appears to be adding jobs at the old scale, ie 6 instead of 600.

Please set a scripted_variable to mark that your mod has been loaded

Awesome! Thanks for the update!

Speaking of oversights, I have decided to restore the Data Liberator civic with Biogenesis in the next update. I had originally planned to merge it with crowdsourcing, but that civic seems to be strong enough on its own, and the two civics are different enough to justify keeping them.

I'm mostly tinkering around the edges at this point, so I may as well release an update. I'm sure I missed something, so please let me know if you find any bugs.

I've released a new beta patch with more fixes. See the description for the link.

thanks

unzip it to documents/paradox interactive/stellaris/mods

thanks for early beta, how does one implement the files into the game, i would like to test this mod by itself help you squash some bugs perhaps

There is still a lot of work to do, but it should at least be playable now. I've uploaded an early beta for free on my patreon. Expect a lot of bugs, so please let me know what you find.

Once most of the bugs have been squashed, I'll uploaded it properly to steam.

Thanks for the update on progress!

We'll I'm getting closer. There is a massive error log I'd need to work through, but after that hopefully it won't take much more to get it ready for release.

I like the idea, seems like my colonies have no pops on them for decades even with high growth settings

I am saving most of the balance changes for after the comp patch is done, but nomadic is definitely broken enough to require a swift fix. My current solution is increased pop growth on low pop planets, but I'm not sure I like it thematically. I am also investigating if it is possible to have civilians increase automatic resettlement.

Seeing the "mod broke fix" comments makes my blood boil, shits so annoying. Maybe think about how many aspects of the game this mod touches, think about the code required to actually enact this mods existence. +1 to smallauthors comment take all the time you need, less mistakes made. But i really love this mod, so i can forgive mistakes/bugs and ill report them when updated.

The only issue i can forsee happening with this mod and others i am subscribed to is that innys merger mod is on hold, and im pretty sure theres going to be a lot of overlap

Keep up the good work and the cool mods, @Tovius !

@asmallauthor1996
Thank you for the kind words. I am slowly plugging away at it. I just got through the game start files, and am currently moving on through the other scripted effects. I can already tell updating the trait files will be a bit of a mess, so I expect that will take a while.

For whatever it's worth from some random dude online, just take all the time you need with updating. I can fully understand how the recent changes with the new version of Stellaris made everything different and that this mod would need a major overhaul. Along with how other obligations, both on here and in person, would need your attention.

Either way, I love the new types of MegaCorp-centric authorities in your document below. Particularly with how the Organic Conglomerate seems to introduce something similar to a Criminal Heritage type of government via cloning organs with a thriving black market for "redundant" ones.

I really don't understand why people expect this mod to still work after a major patch. It never does.

Yes, absolutely disable this mod until I can update it.

@Tovius

yes, it dit all mods broke with out it showing they are broken, do you think it is best if i disable this mod if it is the problem for my broken game

It will still take a while, 4.0 broke a lot

@Tovius how long do you think for this mod is up to date, sins it is sooy activly breaking my my game

After doing some more digging, I found that Universal Modifier Patch is causing some strange behaviors with enforcers, which is stalling some of my plans. I am currently putting together a stripped down version of the mod for Undercoat that I can use in the meantime.

Done! Super excited for update, in terms of compatibility patches, the merger of rules is not updated yet, so i hope nothing clashes too hard

I noticed while updating it that I no longer need to overwrite the Universal Modifier Patch anymore. This means that once I've finished updating, you will need to download the Universal Modifier Patch, so I would suggest doing that now if you haven't already.

Coming up with new biogenesis authorities proved much easier than I expected, although I feel the balance could use a little work. Let me know what you think:

Godspeed you magnificent bastard and thanks for the great mods!

I would die for a compatibility patch to bug branch

I've finished updating all my other mods, so now it it time to tackle the big one. Wish me luck.

Looking forward to an update, but considering the massive 4.0 changes and the size of this mod, I'm not expecting anything for at least a few weeks, maybe even a month or two.

All my mods except Cosmic Religion Reborn will be updated eventually.

Is there a plan for 4.0 or leaving in 3.14? Thanks!

required submod was apparently not far *enough* up the list, solved

Download the required sub mod

the added megacorp government types dont function properly, as they dont actually count as megacorps

The big downside of this mod is that it changes so many things that it is likely to be incompatible with at least something, in my current games it conflicts with V_Traits. Wish to see it be broken down into separate bits, like traditions+APs, new government stuff, new species traits, extra techs, extra edicts and so on.

Hey Tovius, your mod is incompatible with the Cyberization Vanilla Fix .😏IDK why you can't find the diff. Your mod just adds 2 additional traits, so you just need to copy event cyber.9 and cyber.3 and add your traits. Regards

It might be interacting with the tradition swap weirdly. I'll look into it.

@Tovius For some reason, I don't seem to be getting "genetic mastery" tech option when I finish the genetics tradition. Tested only with this and Expanded Mods Base enabled. I have the prerequisites, but it just doesn't show. This didn't use to be the case. I can force it via effect = add_research_option, but it's a crutch.

Seems I may have been slightly inebriated and added a mod I forgot about. For whatever reason planetary diversity - ascension worlds is incompatiable to some degree with this mod and was the cause of my issue.

Thx for the mod tovius
