I put the updated mod up here. Let me know if it works.

@Nik to upload a mod to the steam workshop, start the launcher, then go to the 'Mod Library'. Afterwards, click the upload mod button towards the top right. Add me as a friend if u need anymore help

I think I just about have this fixed for 4.0. I have only modded for myself so far. So, I need to check out how to add a mod to the workshop. There is some wonky around pop assembly. So, the new origin doesn't work great but I think the core is functional.

i don't think that I'll update it, hopefully the modding community picks it up to continue tho <3

so is this getting a 4.0 update or is this a dead (irony) mod?

you should include the space fauna reviving like the hivemind's Cordyceptic Drones (hive necromancy) for the perfect necromancer build..

aw, in vanilla it is in events/necroids_events_1.txt line 810

"add_trait = trait_zombie" needs to be removed

I don't mean as relating to your mod. I mean from the vanilla game.

Oh, if you want to remove the zombification from purge then you need to alter the event tnecro_events.10 after line 60

Mechromancy creates the cyborgs, this is vanilla. I just append the zombie trait in event tnecro_events.1

I don't want to remove this feature from the mod, but you can modify that event if you don't want to have the zombie trait on them. Just append a line after line 16 to exclude the cyborg trait like I did for zombie, hive mind and necrophage traits :)

I'm trying to remove the line of code that causes the cyborg zombies to be created but I can't find what causes it.

Is it possible for you to create a small mod that just disables the cyborg zombies in mechromancy? or at least be able to actually purge them?

Ah, I forgot about that AP, so thought it was a mod. Thanks!

TLDR; cyborg zombies

Mechromancy is an ascension perk from Stellaris Synthetic Dawn DLC (if I remember correctly) for machine gestalt empires, I just reused that name for description.

quick question: what is this "mechromancy" thing? just wondering!

sorry for late response, the bug should be fixed now.

aw i see, lol. thx for the report, i'll look into it the next couple days

i will state the scenario real quick for brevity

conquer a planet owned by a hivemind as a necromage regular empire

the planet will then start to purge the hivemind pops

they will then respawn as zombie pops with the hivemind trait

since they are hivemind, they will be purged again

repeat, making the process last for an exceedingly long time

@Skill Less i conquered a hivemind planet, i was not a hivemind myself

How did u end up having necromage + hive mind ?

when purging hivemind pops they turn into zombies, which also have to be purged, and it repeats over and over again, making the planets never purge

Would it be possible to make this work for hive minds?

I think hive minds should be allowed to do necromancy.

AFAIK yes

Is this mod up to date?

Hello, cool idea of a mod. Can you please at least copypaste english localisation to russian so we don't have to deal with code?)

I use Dynamic UI Overhaul and its more buildings addon. I use the version for 32 buildings.

What's that planetary interface you have? Because it implies that buildings can be built to the actual limit, not only 12 of them...

Indeed, mechromancy is exclusive to machine gestalts in vanilla.

This works with Synth Ascension too, but I didn't see that mentioned above. Was really bummed to see the vanilla Mechromancy perk was machine intelligence only.

that's a mod list hehe :D I use reworked advanced ascension myself and think that's no problem :)

It might be any mod which touches any logic of the pop assembly itself. Usually a mod which touches vanilla files, especially any "rules" file. So without further research I bet on the unofficial patch on the top.

It's a hassle but you might find the mod in question by partially disabling mods and go back into game and repeat until you found out which one produces the issue. You can disable one mod at a time and if still not work, exit, enable mod, disable next mod and so on.

No, nothing to do with cloning specifically. Could it be Reworked Advanced Ascension? That's the only mod in my list that could have anything to do with cloning.

Here's my modlist: https://pastebin.com/QUVTL6dV

FluffyPotato do u have anz cloning mod installed? this sounds like the bug within that mod

Awesome mod but I seem to have an issue: After a while population assembly reports that "There are no species that can be assembled on this planet". I tried starting a new game several times and it seems to happen every time after some amount of time, usually 1 pop gets produced but no more.

thank you and have fun :)

Been waiting to see a mod do exactly this for a few years. Cheers to you friend.

you mean u want to resurrect every defeated space fauna? i will look into it, but may need time since i'll have to scroll through the events. for leviathans i think i won't do it, but reanimators will take that job i guess

In a future update, could you also add the functions of cordyceptic drones, ie: reanimating space fauna? I won't lie, I do just want a civic that combines the three vanilla reanimator civics, and this mod already does two thirds of that.

It's your mod tho, do what you will.

oh to be precise: you can assemble pops with clone vats alone, they just dont get the zombie trait. so you can decide to assemble living or undead creatures.

version 1.2.0

- zombies are now only assembled if the planet got the proper building for it, no zombies from clone vats alone
- add some support to not create necrophage zombies
- add councilor position for civic
- add a proper description to the civic
- fix some localization

yeah, i will look into it during the week so that i have (hopefully) an update before next weekend. i think the councilor position should increase pop assembly and/or decrease resource cost. for undead military there is already the necromancer civic plus workshop got mods for increased civic points so shouldnt be a problem.

Love the mod! Any chance you can add a councilor position like other civics? Also, it would be nice to see the reanimators civic mixed in with the mod in some fashion. It feels odd that an empire of master necromancers doesn't know how to reanimate pops for military combat.

corpo death cult is vanilla and the megacorp version of death cult. works rly nice with gospel of the masses ^^

glory to the necro-vamp corporation :)

not sure if "corpo death cult" is a vanilla or modded ethics option, but im totally doing a vampire necromage megacorporation right now.

yeah, i already had a thought about that but looked for inspiration. there is even a job icon for corpse collector ingame (just didnt get any use)

i was thinking about a deposit or planet modifier but i will think about world designation too. thx for the suggestion

Just a thought, but wouldn't it be cool and interesting to add corpses as a Strategic resource that is consumed to assemble zombie or undead pops? Furthermore, you could create a new world designation called "Graveyard Worlds" that produce corpse-producing jobs and accelerate the speed of recruiting undead armies while also reducing their cost. Just some ideas.

update: version 1.1.0
- minor fixes
- add origin to have a secondary zombie species
- add new building + tech to increase pop assembly further

hehe no worries and don't forget to set the pop assembly species right if you are a necrophage.. or u will end up with unpurgeable necrophage zombies haha

thank you very much this finally completes my eldritch undead modset
