I'd love to try this mod, but I have a problem in that I don't like many of the recent changes to Stellaris and far prefer playing older betas, mainly the Verne, 2.6.3. Does anyone know if there's a version of Forgotten Empires still available anywhere which would work with this Beta? Or, failing that, a version of the Precursor story pack mod?
Any help would be hugely appreciated, but please keep it simple. I'm 72 and not great with computer stuff...

OK, I changed how they are checking where they can spawn.

I've been seeing the same issue with the Strange Worlds too. It's definitely not unique to the Nyblax spawns.

I tried to prevent that, I guess I'll have to try harder for the next update. Odd that this only started with 4.0.

I keep getting 4 of the Nyblax systems spawning on top of each other. Is there a way to fix this, or is it just bugged?

I've been experiencing an odd bug where the Strange Worlds will, during generation, sometimes spawn two systems in the exact same location. They'll have the exact same hyperlanes, exact same position, it's just the names and contents that are different. The only way I've found for the player to access the one considered 'under' the other is to set a ship to some kind of automation, pan to it, and save the star as a hotkey.

How do I roll back the mod from the broken 4 version of the game to the working 3.14?

geoglyph site is from Gigastructural Engineering & More if I recall correctly.

Is this the mod that adds the mysterious geoglyphs archeology location?

It seems the dig site doesnt fully close in chapter 3

An idea I'm currently toying with is that assembling the Nyblax Cube would open a crisis path. No promises though, I'll have to see if I can make it work, be worth it and fun to play, but I think there is some potential with it.
Note that the crisis path will be an additional option for those who have Nemesis and/or Cosmogenesis - the rest of the currently cut content will be there for everyone.

Fernominal, looking at the content, I've experienced everything but your own. Not sure how I passed your mod before, but It's certainly going into my curated 4.0 collection.
Looking forward to getting into it all.

Making your own story content is great for the game, integrating others' old content into your mod to keep them working is even more so. So I think I'll be throwing some point awards your way. Love stuff like this.

I plan to add it at some point but it's a big and complex piece of code that has been affected a lot by the various game updates, and I want to balance it more and better integrate it to the Nyblax and the Collector's stories. So I'll start to work on it after the release of the Shamblers and White Noise precursor stories that I'm currently working on.

Regarding Complex's content (The Nyblax and the Collector).
4.0 has killed the Original mod, game-breaking issues, had to remove it from my mod list.

While the dig sites have some fun lore, the relics and content surrounding them is the main part, game-changing in a very positive way. Important enough to actually go for when you can, super unique functionality, but nothing super op like infinity stones.
Some truly well-made content.

Not sure when you plan to add more content from the original mod, but it seems like forgotten empires is the last bastion keeping this forgotten mod's legacy alive.

-Edit-
The federation formation event is arguably a little painful though, it takes over the game more then it should.

Awesome Sir, will reinstall ASAP

Fixed.

Removing the Mod I thought could have caused the issue wasn't it either, its probably some conflict but I'm not going to uninstall over 40 Mods to figure out which is conflicting at this point.

Atho I love this Mod, I'll uninstall for now.

Having similar problems, got the 'Begin' option only once but now the configuration menu keeps popping up over and over without it.

Did a 'File Verification' which I had to do with another mod for it to stop popups but this time that didn't work, also emptied 'Steam Cache' as that was mentioned as a optional 'fix' for that mod too.

Gonna try something else which is to be said could be the problem, report back once I checked that.

Click on Begin to close the menu.

Start menu after the update just pops up again after selecting an option. And again. And again.

Does this with or without precursor selection mod.

Unsubbed and resubbed to check if that would fix it to no avail.

"Added a start menu option to disable this mod's precursors. The option will be hidden if you have the Precursor Selection mod.
Fixed a couple of modifiers.
The Coprean Constitution event chain now spawns new systems instead of locating a potential site."

We are so back

Thanks, I added them to the description.

Hi, i made a french translation here :
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?edit=true&id=3498758968

Hello, Inny — I created a mod that translates and revises the localization of various Workshop mods. I use your mod in my playthroughs and have translated/revised it here:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3498553777

Thanks, I think your suggestion will work for now for me.

Yeah, the next version of Forgotten Empires will have the option on the start menu (if you don't have Precursor Selection), but until then that mod will do the job.

That's not what I'm looking for but it might be able to work?

Yes, use this mod:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3039370479

Is there any way to disable the precursors added by this mod?

Yeah, Steam has been messing with a lot of mods recently.

Validating data helped solve the issue, thank you!

The Arcane rune text I gave below is very much there on the last screen once you complete excavating the rune. I also have a screenshot, but Steam will block the link anyway. In my old saves, just as Zero said, the rune doesn't grant any leader anymore. In all new games, the rune never appears. I am validating the files now. I don't have the original mod installed. We shall see how it goes.

This is not implemented yet. It will be along the Collector crisis.

Hi, I found all six runes but then nothing happens. How can I activate the forging of the cube?

I just played this event, obtained the rune and tested it, and it worked fine. Twice. Do an integrity check of the game, and make sure to double check that you're not using the original, outdated mod.

I can also confirm that event for Arcane rune is broken now. Nothing happens after you choose who's to sacrifice, it supposed to give you event for repaired rune.

My previous complain about this same rune not working was on a save that started before 4.0.15, where I got the rune, but there was no pop up to choose a type of leader you want to create.

That's not how the event unfolds, this text is not even in the mod.

I just spawned in the middle of Nyblax systems and will try to excavate Arcane rune last, maybe this will do the trick. will let you know.

The last message says that during Shezam's last war the rune was damaged and can no longer perform as it should. Repairing it would require much more sacrifice than sacrificing one scientist and that only after more sacrifices made will you get the rune. It's so bizarre, it has never happened to me before because as I said that's the only rune I always go after every game, but I've seen it in the past 2 games, back to back. I only have Nyblax play in your mod, I don't have the original one installed.

I didn't change anything with the rune, what message did you get exactly?

I'm sorry but what happened to Nyblax' Arcane Rune? For the second game in a row I get the message that the rune was broken and I couldn't get it? that's literally the only rune I's ever interested in, and this new development breaks my game...

Odd, create_leader has not changed, and I've checked the vanilla events, there's no difference.

Script changes in 4.0.15 broke one of the runes, the one that is used to create level 10 leaders. That patch also broke several other mods and their pop ups.

A trivial issue, but the "Concurrent Discovery" configuration button isn't working.

Yeah, there was a typo in the compatibility code, should be OK now.

Hey, I'm having a problem with system visibility with this mod. My ships' sensor level always functions as it were 0, even when the game shows it as being better, for example 2. I'm using Sensors Expansion, and use Irony to manage conflicts. The only 3 conflicting versions of can_see_system are vanilla, SE and this mods, and with this mod's version the sensor bug appears. If I use SE's version, my sensors work normally.

I wonder if using mods that change or add star classes might be a factor, as I'm using Real Space as well.

They spawn randomly.

@Inny How are those runes distributed at the start? In my recent playthrough, after biogenesis, I got 2 runes and some weakest/isolated spiritualist empire got other 4. Is there some bias for those runes to appear in weakest empires? I also got 2 of the runes inside their territory, from the archaeological sites in unclaimed systems. So it means that all 6 sites spawned next to each other?

Aye, that's what I was thinking.
Also, the Collector part's adaptation has progressed but is not near complete yet, and I'm focusing on a new story for now, but I'lll eventually get to it. The crisis ships have been updated and what remains is the crisis itself - story, code, and writing the missing parts as the author never finished it.

To answer my question - Nyblax still isn't finished.

@Inny if I may offer a suggestion - those rune regulations need to be removed. I have played dozens of games over the years, and they just clog the galactic community. Their effects aren't that drastic, yet they keep somehow appear on top over and over, and over again. If all 6 are in play - they are literally stalling the whole community for no reason. Considering the line isn't even finished, it's just unnecessary. Even if the cube part was done, instead of 6 separate acts, it would've been better to implement just one for regulation of the combined cube/infinity stone, rather than 6 runes.

I pushed an update to allow Wilderness to terraform these worlds for the time being. I'll flesh it out once I've played them to see how I can make something meaningful for them.
