@Grand Admiral Thrawn please read descriptions before asking questions, ECC says it has built in compatibility.

is this mod compatible with ethics and civics classic?

The whole error log would be helpful. There's a bug report form linked in the description.

There's also a few other issues my mod load order is getting from GVP, that being: missing authority tags, events not firing correctly, civics reverting to defaults, scripted triggers not evaluating correctly.

Recently had a breakage from it that directly corrupted the save file:
Invalid government type [...]
Missing civic [...]
Unexpected token in empire definition

Hoping this helped and this'll be updated!

I don't think a 4.0 backport version is strictly necessary to use the mod if you're still running 4.0. What I meant by that post is that more changed between versions than I thought in terms of, like, content. So if you use the mod in 4.0, there might be e.g. modifiers that don't show up. It will not work perfectly well, but I don't believe it would be unstable. (I also don't really know.)

BTW, I should add that I love your 'Change Notes'. Shows the care you have for mod users and how wonderfully great attention you have for your creation. TY!

Ahh, was wondering what had been going on. that and why a specific building for Energy/Food/Mineral production would automatically self-delete itself like freaking Quantum physics after being built and the moment you view the planet window. But that's probably a different mod causing that.

@LittleRaskol
I found your gem of a mod, seems you put lots of care and effort into it. TY! I like to use it.
Question: in your 23 Sep post, you wrote Stellaris 4.0 resulted in "things have been changed". Is this mod safe to use now in a long game session?

Anyone who wants to take on the project of making a compatibility patch is welcome to. I have about 1% of the time needed to do anything I have planned for his mod, which is why it's mostly just being maintained.

Maybe the real E&C Classic patch was the friends we made along the way

Aight well, that took a minute. Until I know what's going on those civics are just getting more/better modifiers.

Hi all, I'm aware that there are issues with the Chivalry and Colonial Fiefs civics. I don't yet know what's going on. The plan right now is to just... change them to provide some base bonus so they're not useless until I can figure it out.

Is this compatible with ethics and civics?

hey! I appreciate your work on this! Just putting in a quick possible bug report. Whenever I use the colonial fiefs civic each time it creates a subject empire the empire collapses immediately upon creation. Maybe it's a conflict with something else on my end, I'll keep messing around with it (or who knows). Thanks either way!

Any plans to adjust or add new government names for the advanced authorities

That said, I am starting to think enough things have been changed that a 4.0 version might be helpful. No idea when I'll have time to do it.

There's no reason for that to happen, and I can't replicate it.

Hey, Im rolled back on 4.0.23 (version before the DLC) and the civics and all are gone - is this just how it is?

Updated. I don't believe changes should break 4.0 saves.

Should be fixed, not 100% sure it will work on a game in progress though

That's less a bug than... I never designed them to respond to commercial pacts, lol. Well I'll see what I can do. The building doesn't swap though, really, it just changes what bonuses are given based on whether you have Criminal Heritage. Maybe I can include a check for a pact.

Hey, so, not 100% sure, but pretty sure that Labor Peace and Criminal Heritage have a bug.
Labor Peace and/or the Labor Management building, weren't switching to the lawful version when I had a commercial pact with the target empire.

Why are the civics so blurry?

I don't know what influences selection of election candidates. Government definitions used to set weights for different possibilities, but that was changed a few game versions ago. Noble Republic is not an exception to this, nothing in its definition influences election candidates as far as I can tell.

Interesting, has never been an issue on my other playthroughs. The ruler would not be at the top, but they would typically be in top 4.

Oligarchy doesn't allow re-election by default. Presumably it does if there are literally no other candidates, but....

So my current play through is as a Noble Republic (Oligarchy). My current ruler is being weighted so low that they do not appear on the reelection list at all. As a test I started killing leaders to see if they would show. Had to kill all four initial contenders before they forced popped. Never happened before to me. Is there something in the gov type or the mod that reduces weight for the current ruler?

Thank you for your nice mod. However, I found that the "Colonial Fiefs" civic doesn't seem to be working well in this version. When a colonial subject appears, it immediately disappears :(

Uh, where did academic privilege go?

Thanks you for nerf and thanks you for your mod

Interesting observation - I started them with the same weighting as Common Ground, but now, with this mod and the base Common Ground and Hegemony starts, they probably pop up too much.

Can change of spawn origins like Convened by Providence a bit lover? So many fed from the start

Welp as it turns out "Automated Workforce" seems *very* strongly tied to a specific district. Sometimes you can apply a modifier for a specific context (like, for a planet) at a higher level (empire-wide) and it will be applied to all context in the higher level (all planets in the empire). planet_pop_assembly_mult will work this way, but district_automated_workforce will not! Back to the drawing board...

Okay thank you

There's also no localization/random name key called "lrsk_dic_pur_descbron" but if anyone is seeing broken random names, if you can be specific about exactly how they show up in the game that would let me figure out what is going on (hopefully)

I'll get around to this stuff yall, new job is just kicking my butt in terms of free time.

Utopian Socialism & Utopian Despotism don't show up because I removed the civic Automated Indolence, as I had no interesting ideas for it. Now that "automated workforce" is a thing, though, I think it can go back in a meaningful form.

Okay so the Ruling Class mod has been updated again so here’s the link below

By the way, I’ve looked at your airtable government list & I noticed that Utopian Socialism & Utopian Despotism are not there? Have they been removed & if so, why?

By the way, here’s the updated patch for Bug Branch+Ruling Class Update+Government Variety Pack below
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3497503269&searchtext=

And yes the Ruling Class mod has once again been updated in the link below

There seem to be quite few localisation issues, mainly with empire names. They spawn some broken localisations. Like lrsk_dic_pur_descbron for example.

The localizations should now reflect what's going on under the hood, but lmk if you spot any more incongruities.

Noice

The descriptions are not accurate and need to be updated but the amounts are updated on the backend. So if it says +1 job, it's really like +100.

Jobs per pop have not changed but don't actually need to: A ratio of 1 job per 20 pops is the same whether it's applied to 40 pops or 4000, and will give wither 2 jobs or 200, so the amount given ends up "as expected."

@REDbeard: And yet the ratios haven't changed, so the only difference is whether the jobs accumulate individually or in blocks of 100.

Are the job spawning civics updated for 4.0? Last I checked the descriptions on the civics are still showing the job numbers of the old system.

no compatibility patch with Ethics & Civics: Bug Branch?

Amazing that you pushed out an update so quickly, thank you! It looks like neither of the Bug Branch patches are being actively worked on; is anyone planning to take up the patch? Bug Branch is essential for me, but GVP is a close second, so I hate to play without it.

Has anyone else had problems with the AI not expanding?

Can't reproduce. Try unsubscribing and then resubscribing?
