Credits
Many thanks to Fresh_Limon for the russian translation of this mod !


Introduction
This mod aims to improve psionic ascension path by providing a more immersive way to become the strongest psionic civilisation that ever existed. You will investigate and follow the zroni precursor quest while unlocking new techs and powers.

Content
  • New origin In the footsteps of the Zroni which start with zroni abandoned excavation site on moon (psionic archive relic event chain) and archeostudies tech researched
  • New covenant Traveller From Beyond that focus on mobility/exploration and provides research
  • Megastructure Aetherophasic Collapser for all covenants (mid-late game) 100-500 favor (Astral thread cost) that produces a lot of zro and gives you powers to summon powerful shroud entities via custom shroud lobby
  • Megastructure Labyrinth of Abstraction for all covenants that requires 25 favor. It will provide new jobs and unique features...
  • Mind Over Matter requires 1 ascension perk instead of 2 if you have psionic archive relic
  • New psionics techs
  • A new arcology decision with a district that provide 6 telepaths (replace eclesiastic district) for every covenant with at least 90 favor (rank 3)
  • Astral Rift oriented tradition tree
  • The special project when a covenant is confirmed, displays current favor and how much you generate per month (so you can see how much favor you have)
  • And more...

I can't seem to get the Traveler to actually work, i have no idea if this could be due to conflicts with other mods or if I am doing something wrong, but it either fails outright or when i try the shroud diplo thingy clicking on the traveler, it will pop up a "hey this other covenant wants you" thing instead...is that just a fail state for attempting to pick the traveler?

Hi,

Open the labyrinth view and enter in the console:

effect add_building = bts_labyrinth_of_abstraction_core_1

bts_labyrinth_of_abstraction_core_1 -> Tier 1 Capital
bts_labyrinth_of_abstraction_core_2 -> Tier 2 Capital
bts_labyrinth_of_abstraction_core_3 -> Tier 3 Capital
bts_labyrinth_of_abstraction_core_4 -> Tier 4 Capital

Hey so I accidentally destroyed the capital building of the Labriynrh of Abstraction using superior constructs because I thought that would do something, whats the command for me to add it back?

Thank you. I think that will be a more balanced way!

Hey, thank you for your feedback.

As 70-90% cooldown reduction can be achieved in the base game, I don't think it's really a problem to get 0 shroud cooldown, as long as the cost is balanced. But as you said, it's the power to create a pop that's very OP.

Here are the sources of the shroud cooldown reduction:
Base game:
- Psionic archive relic: -50%.
- Psionic tradition tree : -20%.
- President of Level 4 Holy covenant (Federation): -20%.
- Infinity thesis (cosmogenesis crisis): -30% for 7 years

In this mod, there are 3 ways:
- Maxed labyrinth and the dimensional converger building: -20%
- Occultism tech: -10%
- Sanctum of the traveller building for the “Traveller From Beyond” covenant : - 10%

In the next update I plan to remove this ability, so the only way to add pops will be through pop resettlement, which I think will make the progression slower. And the bonuses won't be as op as they used to be, because they'll be harder to get.

Thanks, totally missed that!

@A Trained Monkey

Hey,

It can be activated in the shroud interaction menu (Labyrinth Decision), the description of the effect can be seen on the option in the menu.
This will create a ship with an infinite jump range, and once the ship has jumped into a system, it will trigger the effect.

Hi, thanks for the mod. I finished the Concept Time tradition tree, but I don't see or get how/what is the power of chronostasis in the labyrinth. Is supposed to be a decision? Do i need to activate it in any other way? Thanks

Hello, I somehow reached 0 cooldown shoud delve. Which makes it very OP, I can spam pops as I like it :steamhappy: . I have zroni precurose artifact -50%, and the abstraction -20%, maybe the rest come from other techs.

@JeVaisFaireForgeron Do you need a Psionic Black Hole? I have like 14 of them :LotusFlower:
