Federations Less Stingy

Once again, mostly making this for my own use and decided to share. This is a very basic mod that only tweaks a few Defines (8 lines of code to be exact), and thus should be compatible with most other mods since multiple mods can change that file at once. This mod can also be applied to existing games and doesn't require a fresh start.


Basically this just makes it so that "Give Association Status" and "Invite To Federation" are based off the EXACT same metrics as Migration Treaties. Opinion plays a lot bigger role instead of being mostly ignored and it lets various other factors concerning differences between empires slide a bit more. I DID decrease distance requirements as well because it's supposed to be a freaking interstellar Star Trek Federation and not a local neighborhood watch association.


Keep in mind the game isn't balanced around this, depending on what Empire types you have spawn this might make the Federation "win" too easy. You might even be able to get Empires that really shouldn't be together into your Federation. But I'll take that over a mechanic you literally can't work with until Paradox releases an expansion that fleshes this out finally. It's a simple band aid that isn't attempting to be a giant diplomacy rework.


TLDR:
If you can get along well with an empire you can get them into your Federation. No more Federation members eternally voting NO and blocking you from inviting others.

-Details-

Near as I can tell a -1000 Acceptance is a hard NO result of a different hidden equation going negative (usually due to conflicting government edicts and policies). This overpowers the regular equation you see in the tooltip with the green and red numbers. Honestly I don't want to rework diplomacy so I didn't look into the equations themselves much. They might be hard coded or conflict with most diplomacy mods so I avoided it. So instead I changed the weights that are applied to the variables and now once you get your trust high enough you can overpower the hump equation causing the -1000 switch to flip.

As long as it's minor differences anyways. Empires that are hated or at war being in your Federation will still toggle a -1000 hard NO. Things like Fanatical Purifiers will as well.

EDIT--- Due to life changes I haven't had time to mod and barely any to play anymore. However this is an insanely simple mod that is just editing a few text file values. Copy pasting from a helpful soul in the comments, there are the values I changed and what I set them to, followed by what the vanilla base game values are as an example.

File location---> Stellaris\common\defines\00_defines.txt

FEDERATION_ACCEPTANCE_OPINION_FACTOR = 0.5
vanilla 0.1

FEDERATION_ACCEPTANCE_ATTITUDE_ALLIANCE = 10
vanilla 30

FEDERATION_ACCEPTANCE_SHARED_THREAT = -.5
vanilla 0.25

FEDERATION_ACCEPTANCE_OTHER_ATTITUDE = 0
vanilla -50

FEDERATION_ACCEPTANCE_DISTANCE_MULT = -0.05 # per 1 border distance
vanilla -0.1

NON_AGGRESSION_PACT_ACCEPTANCE_DISTANCE_MULT = -0.05 # per 1 border distance
vanilla -0.1
