More Picks & Points: Traits|Civics|Ethics [LITE] (3.3+)

Description
NEW UPDATE FOR 3.9 at More Picks & Points: Traits|Civics|Ethics [FLEX EDITION].


This is the updated version for stellaris v3.3 of the mod More Picks & Points: Traits|Civics|Ethics [LITE] (3.1+).

• WHAT DOES THIS MOD DO? •
This is a basic mod that gives the player a bit more freedom while creating a new empire. It simply adds more trait points and picks, adds ethics and civic picks.

The original mod was made by Athinks ( https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1591293882 ). After inactivity I decided to reupload it with some tweaks. It now works for lithoids and the ethic tweaks are updated to post 3.3+.

This is the Lite Edition of the Standard one and copies the exact tweaks from the old mod.


List of the Lite Edition tweaks:

• SPECIES TRAITS •
>> Starting trait points
- Machine -> 2 [Vanilla: 1]
- Biological -> 3 [Vanilla: 2]


>> Max traits
- Robot -> 8 [Vanilla: 4]
- Machine -> 8 [Vanilla: 5]
- Biological -> 6 [Vanilla: 5]


• GOVERNMENT •
- Ethic picks -> 4 [Vanilla: 3]
- Civic picks -> 4 [Vanilla: 2]


• ETHIC COSTS •
- Gestalt Consciousness -> 4 [Vanilla: 3]
(It's balanced, you can't pick Gestalt ethic with another aditional ethic)



• VARIANTS / EDITIONS •
In order to please all kinds of players, I made 3 versions in this way: "Lite Edition", "Standard Edition" and "BEAST Edition"... To know more, please visit the Standard Edition.


• MORE INFO? •
For more information visit the STANDARD EDITION.


• COMPATIBILITY •
Supposedly compatible with all 3.3.* patches.
It should be compatible will all mods which doesn't touch ethics, civics and traits points and picks.


• DEVELOPMENT •
Help improve this mod at • Updates and Bugs •


• SPECIAL THANKS •

@Big Squeep Hi, Thanks for you contribuition! I will add your name to the credits ;)
Regarding to that code, honestly I edited and uploaded this mod a long time ago, I don't remember why that code was added, and even if it was @Athinks who added it initially, maybe making some sense on previous versions of the mod, but now actually being incompatible and making non sense.

@SiftheBlack Hi, sorry for the very late response. Yes I will try to update it this next month, February. We will keep in touch!

Deleting the following from the modded ethics text file removes it:

ethic_categories = {
col = {}

xen = {}

mil = {}

spi = {}

hive = {}
}

Is there a reason this code was added? It doesn't seem to actually do anything.

There's a bug where a new "ethic" in the ethics attractions segment of the factions tab appears, titled "ethic_categories".
I went through my mods list and narrowed it down to this one. When enabled this "ethic" exists, when disabled it does not.

@hubertkenobi I hope you are doing well and I gotta say I have loved this mod immensly while using it. now then I wanted to ask if this will be updated for 3.6 seeing as it has changed a lot of things in this update

@hubertkenobi sorry this response took so long to make. I will say the mod was still working great and I had a blast using it xD. that said I think u might have to update for the next version 3.5 because of all the new changes coming. im looking forward to the updated 3.5 version of the mod and cant wait to use it some more!

@SiftheBlack
Firstly, THANKS! ahahah
Then, if you want to try it without damaging the saves, you can either make new saves (not overwriting the older ones), or backing up the ones you have in:

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris GamePass\save games\$EMPIRENAME+ID\

Give me any feedback if you find any bugs.
You can use this link to report bugs and help this mod grow ;)
