Slower First Contact [3.14]

This simple mod doubles the time it takes to establish first contact by doubling the number of rolls required. This also gives you a higher chance of getting first contact events.

Additionally the mod delays the formation of the Galactic Community. Normally it forms after an empire has established contact with 70% of the empires in the galaxy. With this mod there is an additional condition that either 100 years must have passed since the start of the game or an empire needs to establish contact with 90% of the empires in the galaxy.

This is a gameplay altering mod and as such it will prevent you from getting achievements.

The mod does not replace any files, but it does change the value of the FIRST_CONTACT_DISCOVERY_SCORE define (increases it from 10 to 20) and will clash with any other mod that modifies the same value.

It also adds a new file that overwrites the event galcom.1 from the file .../events/galactic_community_events.txt.

Apart from that though it should be compatible with everything.


I'm currently burned out on Stellaris and moved back to Crusader Kings. Eventually I'll come back and update all my mods, but I make no promises on the timeframe. In the mean time I give my blessing to anyone who wants to make an up-to-date re-release of my mods. I'd just appreciate a mention as the original creator. Now back to the mod.

I would be grateful if you could rate the mod with either thumbs up or thumbs down. If you rate it with a thumbs up and you really enjoy it, please consider also marking it as a favorite.

If you like this mod you might also like my other mods.
