Diverse Specials Only v2.5

Description
This is the original stand-alone release (WITH NO MASSIVE PLANETS), no other mods are required for this version.

Over 100 custom specials can now appear on planets during galaxy generation. Specials range from simple things like "Merchant Traders" to the more rare and desirable "Orion Artifacts". Some of these are inspired from Master of Orion 2 and 3, some are from other Universes which I felt like adding into this one, and some are completely original.

A few of my favorites include:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fresh Water: Many abundant natural Aquifers exist in a very porous layer of the crust on this planet's surface, granting access to nearly limitless fresh water. *Allows construction of Deep Space Industries

Population Growth +5%
Food +2


Exotic Plants: This region has an unusual amount of rare plants useful in various medical treatments.

Research +5
Population Growth +25%


Orion Artifacts: Remnants of ancient Orion technology found on this planet provides a massive Research bonus.

Research +10


Latinum Mines: Latinum operations harvest the mineral in liquid form and suspend it in Gold bars for shipment.

Credits +12
Production +3

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*These specials are weighted to change the state of the galaxy, some races will simply be in a better position as Biome and chance dictate. So build a few extra scouts and look around!

*Not all the specials are good. As in reality, there will likely be a few phenomena to avoid as well!

Happy Anniversary Master of Orion, Conquer the Stars!

This is a really simple but amazing mod.
I'm a fan b/c it elevates the strategic decision making for planet selection.
Originally it's just minerals, biome and size but now I could go for a crap planet early that gave a big research boost so I jump ahead fast etc.
The sheer variety of planet specials is also fun b/c some a very rare and are exciting when you find them.
Also that they get applied to asteroids or gas giants will encourage you to selectively compress.

Really well done on this!

I checked that, it need to change negative to positive values and Vice versa (PlanetaryResourceTypes.yaml file, all lines with "populationGrowthPercentualBonus").

In the specials pop-up description on the colony screen, population growth bonuses is displayed with the opposite sign. In other words, the resources that should increase growth are indicated with a minus sign, and negative resources - with positive bonus.
Do they actually count correctly?

it needs to install the mod Custom 5X and DSMP Assets

I have the same problem, icons aren't showing up.

For some reason, the icons of the new specials aren't showing up. I'm using unofficial code patch 6.1.

Does this work properly with 5X and UCP?
