If anyone is familiar with Stellaris code then feel free to help out. Tearing my hair out. :P

Cant wait to see the mod back in action. We really appreciate it.

Just peeling back the layers of CtD errors. The error log isn't particularly helpful with this one, unfortunately. Still looking into it, though. :)

thx for the work, any progress updates or still running into CtD on load?

I'm attempting to update the mod but am running into technical issues. Hard crashes on load for no apparent reason. Looking into it.

Seriously love your stuff man. Please update!

Leaving this in Chalk's court. I'm not the coder, so I can't help out, here. :\ I've left him a message. That's the best I can do at the moment.

You guys going to bring this back to life for 1.6? Already miss having more traits and that T.T

I really love your guys mod and hope you will update it to 1.5 I love using this in my campaigns so please dont let it die!

Yeah, I dunno why it isn't.

Will this be compatible with ethics and government rebuild

@Patrick2160 - We're looking into what to do now that Heinlein is out. The fundamentals of our mod were basically done by this update and by the new DLC. Awakening of Fallen Empires was our primary goal. That's done now by Paradox. There are some other aspects of the design that haven't been touched, and we're debating how we want to adapt our other designs, pre-Heinlein, in the post-Heinlein environment... especially given the bugs that were introduced in this last patch.

So any news regarding the direction the mod is heading now that Heinlein is out?

@SparraNova - that's a new one. I'll have Chalk look into it. Still shows in my list. :\

This mod has vanished from my Mod List on the launcher, I've already tried unsubscribing and resubscribing and it hasn't worked, help please?

There's a lot of internal debate on that since many changes in Heinlein are directly relevant to our initial design goals. The Awakening of fallen empires, for example, being much more easily dealt with sinc Paradox will be doing that themselves. Essentially the debate is how much to release pre-Heinlein given the likelihood that it will be incompatible.

Any updates on whats going on? Will a new update be coming soon?

+1 To @Alex's idea!

We know that 1.2.3 broke a lot of mods; as far as I can tell, ours isn't one of them.

@Alex: We'll play around with the idea and see if it works out. :)

I am aware that you can conquer worlds, but then again, that's still a lot harder than colonizing. Besides, if you're doing a One World Challenge, it would make it doable. Maybe have a second version that gives 32 points, no colonisation, -200% habitability, and + 200% homeworld habitability.

@Stiched_Anthropophage The total points, costs, etc. are still being balanced, but the point of the mod with regards to traits is to create situations where there are more extreme differences between the empires. I'm curious as to what your uber build is, for testing/balancing purposes. :)

customize_species_editors.gui is breaking it.
Once deleted they work fine together.

I have just those two on and they crash when together, it is not any other mod.

Species traits "back" and "apply_and_close" button sections have been removed in Awakening, maybe that's why?

This and Ethic and Government Rebuild from Petruxa clashes somewhy...
Im gona post this to both places and see if a person in comunity can fix it so we can play both of them at the same time because they are both awesome.

While I like this mod, It just feels like I have too many traits. I can easily build an empire with no negatives and (Personally) I find it a little OP. Good work on the mod, I haven't had any problems running it and it's a good concept.

@Aton what other mods do you have installed? Anything that edits the empire creator user interface will clash with Awakening.

Going off of what Petruxa said, your mod makes the game crash when going into the government tab in the empire creator. Could you please somehow fix this.

Alex, are you referring to using the homeworld bound trait? If so, there are ways around only having a single world to start. ;)

16 points is nowhere near enough for being stuck on a single awful 16 tile planet. Make it at least 32,please.

Species creation was altered due to the description section not being large enough to accommodate the new traits and descriptions; in essence, the box is expanded.

What are you doing with customize_species_editors.gui ?? Seems not be working with my own mod(

which files (if any) does this mod change? Just to know for compatibility reasons

Also forgot to add: cybernetic and genetic engineering tech trees, with events, etc.

Alpha 3 is finished with fixes from Alpha 2; it'll be released as soon as RL interference is gone. This could be a day, it could be through the weekend.

The changelog is as follows:
- Finished ruler traits
- Added governor traits
- Fixed 'positive traits' bug
- Other trait-related fixes (some not working as intended, etc.)

Plans for Alpha 4 & 5:
- Added 'dietary preferences' traits (for diplomacy & war, in particular)
- Adjustments for plants DLC (see dietary preferences)
- New end-game crises

Future releases:
- Mid-game crises (designed, not implemented)
- Early-game crises (designed, not implemented)
- More events
- Sector-Empire alterations (extensive; designed, not implemented)

Hold onto your butts!

No plans for scientific traits at this time. This may change. Slavery and robotics are addressed in some way due to two new tech trees, cybernetics and genetic engineering (more than vanilla). That said, I'm also toying with the idea of something having to do with synthetics and androids; perhaps mod compatible with the fixed robotics mod, for example. Future is bright, regardless. ;)

Any plans for more variety in Scientist traits? And perhaps something related to slavery and robotics?

Thanks for the support, gtosh4. We intend to release a traits-only version of the mod soon, but the exact timing is TBD given some unexpected RL circumstances with one of the team members.

As previously requested, would it be possible to get the traits as a stand-alone? I'm currently supporting your traits in my "Playable Robots (fixed)" mod and don't want to have to necessarily add the new crises.

There are three new categories of crises; they have been designed but not implemented yet. The first release that includes crises will add new end-game crises. There are 6 new crises there, and the only one I'm willing to tease at this point is the 'Awakening' Crisis, which is where the mod gets its name. Fallen Empires are being tweaked to be much more interesting. The three categories I mentioned are: end-game, mid-game, and early game. The early and mid-game crises are meant not to crush an empire or anything, such as end-game, but just to mix up the game and keep it a bit more unpredictable.

what are the new crises if I may ask?

It might, if that is the problem. The interface might look a little bad on some resolutions if you do delete it, but it isn't anything game-breaking.

So, should deleting the Interface folder fix the problem?

Appareson we haven't touched the ethos and governments yet, so it can't be a conflict with us. We do, however, edit the User Interface for the Species Creation, so if their mod edits the interface for the Species Creation then that's probably where the conflict lies.

Traits are working fine, so far I have seen anything affecting traits. The Incompatibility is basically, clicking on the ethos and government section, make it crash. I'll ask the mod author if it changes traits.

@Appareson if those mods edit vanilla species traits, or the amount of trait points/leader trait points you have, it won't be compatible. It also replaces every single vanilla trait icon in the game, so if the mod replaces any of those it won't be compatible either.

For some reason this isnt compatible with the Ethos and Government rebuild mod. Could you explain why could this happen.
