Independent Colonies

Updated to 3.0!

I am of the opinion that not all of your species should sit idly by and let you have all the fun at the galactic stage. Every typical empire is likely to have some sort of discontent, and when things get large people can slip out and found their own country, with their rules, their black jack etc.

This mod is made due to my want for something like this and the only similar mod being un updated since last year.

With independant colonies, members of your primary species at certain population thresholds will embark and settle upon nearby worlds, creating countries of their own choosing, whether this is for their parent or because they disagree! these minor players on the galactic stage are there to add flavour, serve as speed bumps and provide border countries.

Note this mod is bare bones, the colonies currently spawn and have opinion modifiers, no events and other interactions currently happen

Independent colonies works best in my experience in larger galaxies and less nations.


Randomly spawning minor countries from non-gestalt empires at determined pop levels to a random delay
Potential for a machine empire to spawn or hive mind to generate with each migration!

The countries spawn with a fleet and hefty stockpiles of resources.

Includes a selector for tuning of occurence of independent colonial expeditions to your taste.


I have encountered no crashes in the latest version but that doesn't mean there isn't any. If you find some let me know and i'll investigate. An Error log reading would be of help.

Updated to 3.0 Nemesis compatability.

Fixed an outstanding bug where occasionally the pop selector would fire last and not first in the independent creation process.

Fixed a bug where if multiple countries fired their independent expeditions at the same time the species pops could be accidentally switched up.

Updated to 2.8

Fixed a bug with machine empires spawning from robots having no empire name or ethics.




18/03/2020

Updated for 2.6 compatability

Added placeholder independent origins for independents.

Pushed through code reduction, hopefully it won't have too many adverse effects.

Fixed bugs that pertain with the game trying to pick a pop from a colonising planet that obviously does not have pops.
Prevented independent from elevating a presapient to lead their expedition.

Updated selection criteria of pops.

Added the possibility of machine empires and hive minds to spawn from a regular empire.
- Hive minds have a 1% chance to spawn instead of a regular independent.
- Machine empires will spawn if a mechanical pop is selected as the founder, providing the nation hasn't researched synthetics
- Synths will spawn as a regular empire as they have progressed beyond centralised coding and are each sentient.

Added on game start a menu to select preference for independent spawning pop levels.
options are :-
1. Default = 35/100/200/400
2. Off
3. Rapid = 20/40/80/160/320/640/1280
4. High = 30/70/120/180/250
5. Low = 50/250/600
6. Glacial = 100/400
7. Fill the galaxy = The entire galaxy within the first year will be populated with empires on every available planet.

Altered how the species are chose for independents. Species is now, randomly chosen from viable species within the empire, then colonising pops are randomised (to a point) from the species present within the spawning empire.
Xenophobes will only spawn using the initial chosen species and no aliens will generate for such an independent.


01/10/2019

Changed pop triggers from 30/70/120/180/250 to 35/100/200/400 to keep explosive amounts of small nations from occuring... hopefully
Time from Trigger on all migrations is now 5-25 years
Disallowed independents from spawning on Ringworlds, Relic Worlds, Ecumenopoli, Hive worlds and Machine worlds.
Added a check to avoid spawning in precursor systems
