[Legacy] Unlocked Utopian Abundance

Description
This version is now legacy and won't receive any further updates. It's being left here for people playing older versions of Stellaris. Everyone else, please migrate to @Dotakiin's new version here.

What this does
Removes the requirement to have the egalitarian ethic in order to access the utopian abundance living standard. It does that and only that.

Why?
Because I wanted to play a 'nice' authoritarian empire where everyone is kept happy, and slaves tend to my pop's every need (unemployed unity generation) leaving my pops to consider the galaxy or tinker on their own projects (free research points).

Compatibility and Load Order
This mod only overrides the part of code which determines whether utopian abundance can be applied to a population. It doesn't touch anything else, not even the code which actually makes the living standard do anything.

I recommend putting this at the end of your load order / highest priority as it's been reported to not work as intended otherwise (Thanks Modemus). It touches so little that it's really unlikely to mess with anything else.

The TLDR; No compatibility issues, put it at the end of the load order.

Game Versions
Current version tag is 2.6.*, but will work with earlier versions and should continue to work with later versions but seems like it's a bit broken with the current version. Check the comments.

Thanks for having made the exact mod I got annoyed enough to go look for just now even if it's outdated <3

finally, thanks for this. i feel like authoritarian should be able to make their empire species Utopian abundance

Ah, yeah. that's also a good point. 400 isn't many anyway.

I think we should go with having mine be the updated one. This one still has 400+ subscribers, some of whom are likely on old versions of stellaris and still using it.

Eh? Oh... that's.... a weird way for things to work. Sorry for sending you down that rabbit-hole, I had no idea that contributors couldn't .... contribute?

So I guess that leaves two options. We can rename this as [old] and link through to your one from here, or I just pull your one and re-upload it here. Linking through to yours would leave you holding the reins in the future. I'll go with whichever you'd prefer.

Just tried to update it, and went down a rabbit hole to learn that only the original owner can update workshop files. Co owners can only update and moderate the page on the workshop.

@Dotakiin Sry, Got er... distracted by life. I've now added you as a collaborator :-)

I like mods like this that fix that one niggling little thing instead of making broad, sweeping changes.
Dotakiin  [author] 1 May, 2023 @ 2:43pm 
Sure, I would join as a collab. To make my update of the mod, I checked the changes this version has, then took the current utopian abundance section from Stellaris and applied the same changes.
The only overwrite is living_standard_utopian, removing the few lines that checked ethics.
QuantumKitten  [author] 1 May, 2023 @ 2:48am 
@Dotakiin: Alright, that sounds like something I'm comfortable with. Just to double check, there's nothing included in yours that could affect things in other ways, like accidentally overwriting any changes to other aspects of the living standard or anything else that might come from other updates or mods?

So, would you like to be added as a colab to this mod?
