So I had some free time on my hands and tried to see if I could clean up this mod and make it work for 3.0. So far here are the in progress results of my work

Codominant Evolution, Presentient Cousins, Undesirables, Rogue Planet and Nuclear Mutation seem to more or less work with only a few minor changes needed.

Ecumenopolis needed a few minor tweaks to its code but I got it to work. These where due to the changes in alloy/consumer goods system. I also had to forbid hive minds from using this start to make it work properly.

Hive world seems to work, further testing needed however.

Elder Brother has been fixed, in the current alpha stage of 3.0 each pre-ftl civ is now its own species. I had to rework this origin but it seems to properly function now.

Narrow Escape has some minor glitches that need fixed.

Escaped slaves and the enlightened origin are both completely and totally broken. These two are going to be the big issue if I ever manage to finish an update.

Really hope this will be updated in the future.

Has anyone else made an updated version of the mod? Some of these origins are baller and I don't want to lose them.

narrow escape causes an infinite amount of blank notifications.

Only just discovered this mod and I love it amazing job dude! Does anyone know if there is way to pick the random pops generated in the escaped slaves origin?

Merry Christmas safr208, take your time can't wait till its updated :)

@brazilianlaysfan it might be a bit. Real life stuff has kind gotten in the way. So I have not been able to work on the update lately.

What's the ETA for update to 2.8?

Looking forward to the update!

uuuughhh i miss this mod :""(

Found your mod after looking for an old Galactic Preserve home system. Wicked excited to try out your escaped slave origin when the update is out!

Not a lot of love for robos :(

@rainy67 We will see. Right now I'm just trying to get the current origins working with the update and DLC.

This looks really cool, can't wait for 2.8 update. I had one question/request. Could you make a version of the "Enlightenment" origin where the advanced start empire is a megacorp and you are a base game subsidiary?

Don't worry Paly I am already working on the next version. It hopefully should be released soon(tm)

It overwrites the origin added by the Necroids DLC, if you can, then please fix it, if not, then it's not too bad either.
Have a great day!

Love the mod but it doesn't work. Even when it is the only active mod the origins don't show.

Suggestion for Ecumenopolis: Start with Hydroponics tech and some Hydroponics buildings instead of the Foundry & Civilian Industries building, similar to what Void Dwellers provides.

V1.3.1

I've made the following changes to the Ecumenopolis World origin

The Ecumenopolis now starts with 2 city districts and no other districts built.

The Arcane generator no longer gives flat energy, minerals, and food.

The Arcane generator will now provide mining, energy, and farming jobs.

If you are a machine empire or a hive mind the arcane generator will provide appropriate hive mind starting jobs.

The Arcane generator will provide free upkeep for the first Foundry, Industrial, and Leisure districts built.

As requested I have made a patch for Ethics and Civics Classic

This patch can be found here .

This patch also works with Ethics and Civics Alternative.

I love this mod so much, great ideas!!

Any chance for a patch with Ethics and Civics Alternative? The Enlightened origin has the same issue.

I've updated Evolutionary Origins to 1.3 and with it I have added a new origin. The enlightened origin that allows you to start the game as an uplifted empire.

I thought so. Its likely that the mod makes the xenophobic slaver empire an impossible empire because of its civics and ethics combination. When an empire is "impossible" in the code it spawns as a blank empire. With no civics or ethics.

Yea, im using ethic and civics classic. So i guess that makes sense then.

Are you playing with any mods that alter the games ethics or government system by any chance? That could cause that kind of error to happen.

Hey so in my games whenever the master slavers spawn their origin,name etc are blank any thoughts?

Huh, so the 2 primitive empires are your same race. Not what I expected, but interesting as a scenario. Thanks!

I've updated Evolutionary Origins to version 1.2 with this new update I have added 3 new origins.

Eldest Sibling

Based on the cut origin, this origin spawns 2 primitive empires of your empires species on your 2 guaranteed habitable worlds.

Narrow Escape

Designed to be a harder origin. The apocalypse has hit your empires homeworld. Its up to your small colony with only 2 pops to carry on your empires name.

Rogue Planet

Geocentric theory was correct for these guys. You start out on a rogue planet with limited system resources and no habitable worlds nearby.

I came here to ask for basically what @No Name just requested.

The absolute ideal would be Shattered Ring with the primitives of my choice on one of the two guaranteed habitable worlds.

Having them in the same system would be sweet too, maybe on a smaller moon off the primary.

Is there any chance of getting an origin with a primitives planet in the next system over or in a planet in your starting system?

I've updated evolutionary origins to V1.1 here are the path notes.

V1.1

- Pre-Sentient cousins origin has been renamed to Pre-Sapient Cousins. To better reflect in game tooltips.

The following changes have been made to the esacped slave origin.

- Your starter species will now spawn on your homeworld if you pick the escaped slave origin.

- Added the "Reclaimed Homeworld" modifer to starting world. Reclaimed homeworld buffs pop growth, immigration attraction, and happiness.

- Changed how the Xenophobic slaver empire spawns. They should now spawn near other empires less often.

- Changed some coding behind the scenes to reduce spaghetti code.

I agree that Undesirables is kind of meh compared with the other origins. I have a few ideas on the next version of this mod so I might buff up that origin a bit while I'm at it.

I don't really get the point of Undesirables. It's not particularly challenging because of how few undesirables actually spawn, but you also don't get any buffs from it. You just lose out on getting an origin, essentially.

Other than that, this is a really good mod.

Was the screen black during the game or was it black during the empire creation?

I know that there are graphical glitches at occur during the empire creation. Though from my testing they go away after the game loads.

In my game I made an empire with the Ecumenopolis World start and not only did my game crash (might be other mods tbh) but the planet screen for the room was pitch black except for the city. Did I do something wrong, like not install a patch I should have?

Strange I added a script that replaces the first pop with a random species as soon as it spawns. I have no idea why its not working for you callix.

Just tried the Escaped Slaves. Your description says the player's custom species won't spawn through normal gameplay, but the first pop to grow always seems to be that custom species. I am using Planetary Diversity, so that could be mucking it up, but it does seem to undermine the whole idea a little.

i think 'escaped slaves' should be changed so that atleast one of the species is the founder species. idk, maybe i'll just edit that for myself

Thank you I'll use ti well

To von_das the AI can start with these origins (Except for Ecumenopolis World though you can force spawn an empire with it). However there can be only one empire per galaxy with the escaped slaves origin.

Yes you may, just as long as you credit me as the original author and link to my page. I am more than happy to have localizations done. As it allows more people to enjoy my mod.

Hello, I have localized this MOD in Chinese, can I publish it on Workshop?

Can AI start with those origins?

This MOD is great.I'm really looking forward to localizing it in Chinese. (Laugh)

Ecumenopolis is supposed to be an OP origin, so don't worry I won't

Ecumenopolis start is brokenly strong, I love it. Don't change anything.

*Pre-Sapient.

Decadent Pleasure World:
You get an Ecumenopolis World but the society has been in decline, think Nar Shadaa in Star Wars. The people have everything they could ever need but they want more. Greedy gangs, + crime, slavery is required.
All leaders spawn with criminal traits.
events to bring the crimelord bosses to heel, as different ones rise etc.
Archeology site to discover that at one time the world was entirely different - a galactic senate was housed here and the people were a shining democracy/meritocracy/technocacy with egaliarian. Event to radically shift the culture and remove the crime - but only after a civil war with the overlords.
