Same question as Dr. Democracy, does it work with 3.12? Great work, BTW!

Got back to Stellaris recently - I used this mod all the time as it helps game performance massively! Does it still work for the current version?

Does this still work? I am a huge fan of this mod!

I wish I found this sooner!

Since you asked so nicely updated. BTW just use Dynamic Mod Menu this mod supports it and it doesn't clutter the edict menu then.

Please, please, this mod has been the single best performance mod for me, there are no other mods that do this, I beg of you, update this beautiful piece of software.

Crashes in 3.10.

Any intention to update?

I'm aware of that, I was simply highlighting an issue others may experience when using the mod in newer versions

It does say it works guaranteed for 3.7 version, no later.

Seems to be an issue where the activation of the edict will cause a crash on the council menu if the edict can appear there in the activated list

Works 3.9

It seems to be not compatible with 3.8. Just crashed out

Psi/cyborg are species, not subspecies. and up to 20 limit leaves plenty of space for biology asc stuff

Will they still be able to get their psionic/cyborg perks?

Also, will it prevent the AI from taking the Biology Ascension route since it wouldn't benefit them at all?

Does this still work or does it need an update?

If i limit it to 1 subspecies, will the AI keep changing/improving that one or will it only ever create 1 and then never change it again?

Mod alive 3.7 update released.

this deserves to be taken over :/

Yeah sad man that mario left this mod.

Hope someone picks this up

> Is it possible to make a limit for how many planets they can have as well?

Probably, but that's beyond the scope of this mod.

Is it possible to make a limit for how many planets they can have as well?

Thanks for making this, it makes the game twice as playable for potato computers like mine

Thank goodness i hate having to click enable on all these mod pops whenever i start a new game

It's auto applied on game start already. You're just able to change max allowed species at any time.

Could you maybe make this automatically pop up on a new game start so we don't forget to apply it?

I honestly have no recommendations, maybe 2?

whats the best number to use that reduces lag but also allows some multi-species ai empires?

thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you

Will AI remove it's older subspecies if it can create subspecies with more trait points?

There are cases when species might "create" new subspecies via different means (various events, pops moving from empire to empire, refugees, conquest) and this is not prevented by AI Species Limit. This is soley for when AI is supposed to create subspecies via possibly gene modding. I recommend that in this case you use Merge AI Species which is designed to cover these other scenarios I mentioned. Both mods were designed to complement each other.

Paradoxos won't detect if the rule AI Species Limit is overriding is being modified or not in 99.9% cases because filename that I use is unique enough. Use Irony Mod Manager if you really want to see detailed conflict reports, you'll be shocked I can promise you that.

As for the freeze and resolution issues you reported, sorry but these cannot be related to this mod.

Reloading to a older save like 15 years old fixed it ouch.the for ever loading each month not the amount of species.

So the limit was set to 4 and i have encountered species with over 8. Just like @gunblade said but i use paradoxos mod manager so i can see which files are being overwritten by other mods. This mod is not being overwritten by anything.

Changed it do 2 and now my game freezes every month for up to a minute and the resolution changes for some reason.

Love your mod using all of them.

Glad to hear it.

Just found your mod today. Thank you! It's so awesome to stop the subspecies spam by the AI.

I don't have any plans to expand on the feature set of this mod or Merge AI Species. They both do a good job of what they were designed to do. The 3 mods I've made (or adopted)
- AI Species
- Merge AI Species
- Auto Gene Assimilation
Are designed to declutter the UI, it also in some aspects gives the benefit in performance as well. The only thing both mods have in common is that they touch upon the pops in certain regard.

There's a performance mod by 小傘INFINI7E which has the same functionality but it has some short-comings that are kinda fulfilled by this mod. So you could maybe liaise with that creator to increase this mod's features.

(Sorry for imposing)

See the description it mentions which game rule it overwrites exactly.

Middle of a game and noticed that aliens still have a stupid amount of templates even when set to 4. Now of course could be a mod conflict but hard to tell which one (Also impossible to realistically test).
Can you say what it is your changing so I can check other mods if they make any changes to the same lines (Or overwrite with vanilla)?

Damn, thanks anyway

Nope. This part is hardcoded I believe. You'd need a different approach to this.

Can you prevent any species from spawning? I just want an empty galaxy

Actually no. It's a single species per empire. Species A has >= 4 it won't be able to create more subspecies. Species B has < 4 it will be able to create more subspecies until it reaches 4.

When you say "per empire" do I understand correctly that it means its the sum total of all subspecies for all species in the AI empire? So like 20 in all, not 20 per species they have?

Checked the code for the beta, the can modify species rule is not changed so it might be hardcoded or somewhere else. You can still use this mod though with the new update.

I don't know.

Will the mod be obsolete since the incoming update? (PDX's will limit AI sub species)

* Prevent Species from creating hybrids with their own sub species.

It should. The limit is assigned for every nation. But I've never tested it to be honest.

MP compatible? Will it limit species for other players?

I'm no sure how fast_forward command impacts game rules mechanics for example.
