Eriduan's GEC mod - [ORIGINAL]

link to Eriduan's graphical enhancement collection mod - [REDUX]

The REDUX Version doesn't contain:


I found argument that Less Demotion Time is interfering with the game mechanics as reasonable.
Therefore REDUX ver. exists.
ORIGINAL version includes those 2 mods.

-----


This collection currently contains 18 mods (REDUX 16)
This is a collection of mods from different authors. Listed below. Also there is at least one original mod I've created.

Simple reasons Why do you want to have this mod?
1. Better for mod management. A single click in mod manager can turn on / off many stunning loading screens and more graphical addons, that you maybe already uses.
2. Good for beginners, who want to have Vanilla experience and still wants a little more.
3. Just expands the existing stuff. E.g more loading screens, more flags, more colors.
4. Guaranteed Ironman compatible.
5. Everything is tested and works together with no problems.
6. Does not influence the core gameplay. Except only a single mod that modifies the demotion time for unemployed pop. This issue can be avoided by REDUX version of this mod.


In the vanilla, the pop demotion time is set for 10 and 5 years. That doesn't make sense!
How long would you stay at home? How long would your savings allowed you to stay home?
Nobody in clear mind would stay at home or unemployed for longer than their savings can handle.
What if there is a free job somewhere else? Would you still stay at home?

Most people does not have so huge savings that they can stay home for more than a half a year.
If you are the exception, then .., ehm. good for you.

Still unconvinced?

Having the same 100E6 civilians or 1 pop unemployed for longer than a year is efing nonsense.
For me, 1 pop in the game means a representation of 100 000 000 civilians.

So why it is important?

For the period of 10 or 5 years the same 100 000 000 of civilians (1 pop) would do nothing for themselves and for society.
That is just plain stupid behaviour.

If the planet X have a capacity around 80 pops it means 8E9 civilians. And if 8 pops would not work for period of 10 years, even if there is enough free jobs?
That is 10% of max population who laze about for no particular reason. Just because you have transferred them from different planet?

Therefore I am for downscaling the ridiculous 10 years just to 1 year. And 5 years to 6 months.
And that is why I count the downscaling of unemployment duration time as acceptable and enhancement of game mechanics.


This compilation contains almost 200 loading screens, which doesn't replace the originals. For sicher I've added the originals too. Around 100 are directly from stellaris and the rest are sci-fi epic too.

# Actually, I wanted to include the screens from Diverse Rooms. That was my original idea, but those pics are small around 900 x 300. And for full screen loading pic must have 1920x1080 resolution. If somebody have a nice set of Sci-Fi and stellaris lore compatible pictures, we can arrange it and include it in this mod.


IRONMAN COMPATIBLE
ver. 3.+ COMPATIBLE
OTHER MODS COMPATIBLE .. untill not. Just try.

Edited_hotkeys:

"technology" "T"
"factions" "ALT+F"
"claims" "ALT+C"
"species" "ALT+X"
"leaders" "L"

# I wanted to change the "system search" "F" into "H" hotkey - but it is still not working,
# here is the link for the topic in the discussions, if you want to help me. thx:

Help with more hotkeys

But if there is someone who knows how to change other hotkeys, e.g. those I replaced by {fxc} buttons, then I really want to know how to do it, cuz I want to change original {zxcv} to {nm,.}. And it is not so easy as I thought.
