In retrospect, I ought to have done this sooner, but here we are.

I have taken the freedom to update update this mod to 3.11.*.

Here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3214774618

@Galle I hope this is quite alright with you - if it isn't at all, please do tell!

On the one hand can you make a 3.6.1 version its not working for 3.6.1 (I downgraded Stellaris)

If you update this mod... please leave this as a legacy version (unchanged and left alone as it is)

I'm the same as 12th Archknight down below lmao finally found the culprit.

Would really appreciate for this mod to be updated to forked to the latest version of the game.

Is this going to be updated in the future by any chance?

So THIS is the mod causing none of the ai empires to have names ngl i dont really remember adding this mod =x

Thank you for the great mod if you choose to be done with it after 3.6 broke it :) I see it’s been 8 months since the last update.

naming format got changed a bit in 3.6, basically all the lookups part in the code is broken now.

I noticed way too late, that all my random empires dont have names. Is there a way to regen all the names ?

I don't know if this is Gigastructural Engineering or this mod doing it (probably this one) but all the nations I did not make in the 3.6 game I just started are literally nonexistent. They have no names. So... I'm gonna say no it's probably not compatible with 3.6 yet.

Does this work with 3.5?

Is the mod achievement compatible?

Really like this mod, the names are so much better!
I encountered a small bug when a Fallen Empire awakened (the materialist one): their name changed to just 'of Logic' (missing the first part).
I've also had a typo when becoming the Galactic Emperor: my nation (a machine intelligence) was renamed to 'Galatic Matrix' (missing a c), but I suspect this comes from the main game.

Hi Galle; noticed that one of my ingame countries has an underscore(_) as part of its name.

So I went into your mod localisation file and noticed a missing "_" in the definitions;

the Heavens:0 "the Heavens" should read:

the_Heavens:0 "the Heavens"

Hope that helps!

All the mercenary enclaves that I am getting have incomplete (empty) names, oddly enough.

any way you can post a legacy one? i really didn't expect to lose my week old save out of nowhere like that :(

Also, fair warning, you will probably need a new save for the new version, as the changes will break already-generated names.

Another update, with both bug fixes AND new features!

@Sulfurine: I'd already fixed those issues in my development build, but thanks for the help anyway.

Hey thanks for your work ! While troubleshooting a similar issue in which rebel empires and mercenary companies kept spawning with incomplete names i found a few remaining errors in your mod :

00_empires_names, line 674 : missing "1" in "Bone = 1"
00_empires_names, line 3609 : missing bracket to close "random_weight"
ben_random_names_l_english, line 417 : missing underscore in "the_Heaven" loc key

Really hope this fixes the issue once for all because i really love your mod and don't feel like going back to bland vanilla empires names.

Thanks for the update

Fixed several bugs. At the very least, any stability issues should be fixed.

The mod has now been updated for 3.4. This update should also fix the oddities like some empires just being named "United".

Just posting to confirm as well 3.4 broke the mod.

Getting some errors in the latest version. Is the mod still being updated?

Does not work in 3.4 anymore.

Ran into some weird glitches in my most recent game. A resurgent fallen empire was renamed to a file name and the horde successor states had some weird names like "Allied [Species name] Allied".

Hi, thank you for a great mod. Is this compatible with 3.3.1?

Is there a way you could make this iron-man compatible please? I love it but I am a greedy achievement boi.

Sometimes primitives don't have civilization names, weird.

Half my maps empires start with the name United. Sadly, this mod makes things more confusing and not less.

In Ethics and Civics Classic, default Direct Democracies seem to spawn nameless most of the time?

Does this mod modify the checksum?

I know it's an old sci-fi trope, but the empire being named after the species makes no sense for xenophile multi-species empire who probably incorporate 5+ species and have a president who isn't of the original species by mid-game.

The adjective portion of the naming conventions is... a little irksome. Empires that have "league" in their name tend to have "leaguan" as their adjective. I think it's due to how the game itself assigns the adjective, but it's still just weird.

The "people's federation of people" meme aspect is also rather strong.

Overall, good mod though, despite those two aspects. Endorsed

In line 659 of common\random_names\00_empire_names.txt, you forgot to add a "1" to the end of the ""Bone" =" line. Easy enough for the end user to fix, but it's a oddity.

ay thanks mang!

@greensniperhat Done.

please rename empire_formats.yml so it doesn't overwrite vanilla, please - got a mod conflict with amazing civics: megacorps, there's a country named format.olig_corp.1 in my game now.

The United Nations Space Command
The Covenant
Hmmmmmmm...
It appears that someone was blinded by the ring's majesty.

haha federation person haaaaaaaa

The People's Federation of People gives off the Republic of Central Africa in Central Africa vibes.

Haha, that People's Federation was funny :P

All hail the People's Federation of People.

The People's Federation of Peoples... lol

Thank you for the info

You'd think it would be, but unfortunately, no, it appears that 00_random_names changes the checksum.

Quick question, is this Iron Man comp?

Hey thanks a lot for this, I've been using this mod for years it really does help!

"The People's Federation of Peoples" is hilarious
