Description
!!!
PROBABLY BROKEN, may look into fixing it when I play Stellaris again, sorry folks. Pretty sure similar mods exist in the workshop that do the same but better. I just changed some files in a bored afternoon I am not a pro modder lol
!!!


A simple mod that raises the limit amount of traits a species can have, from 5 to 8 for biologic and machine empires, or 4 to 6 for robot workers. This mod currently does not give extra trait points.

I also set a max mutation traits variable to 8, I believe it might be used by xeno compatibility but I am unsure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It appears that modifying the species_archetypes file breaks the functionality of genemodding techs and ascensions. I've yet to figure a workaround so for the time being this (and other similar mods) will probably prevent those extra trait points. If you think I am wrong please point me to any mod that adds trait picks and doesn't break genemodding point techs/ascensions so I can learn from them and fix this mod.


>> Load order
You should place this mod below any mods that alter traits stuff, to ensure it loads later.

>> Did you want more civics instead?
- More Starting Civics (3)
- More Starting Civics (4)
- More Starting Civics (5)

THE MOD IS BROKEN IT BREAKS MACHINE POPS GROWTH!!!!!

What the...
This mod is what was breaking machine pop growth/modification?

Go figure, I find a fix for the problem after I decide to temporarily give up on finding a fix for the problem... :steamfacepalm:
I disabled this mod and I tried the one Hybris mentioned, and no more issue.
I just had to wait for the next month to tick over for pop assembly to kick in.
(no more 'need Gene Tailoring' for modifying machine pops, yay!)

At least I only wasted several hours trying to troubleshoot the issue before I took a break and ended up here to see if this mod still worked properly for 3.4.
Of which that answer is definitely "Nope".

I know this is super late and quite the necro, but yeah. This mod breaks robotic pop Growth.

USERS BEWARE!

Swapped out this mod for another "!!More Trait Picks" mod and was able to have my additional picks and still build robots.

Looking at the files the only difference I can tell from my limited knowledge of modding Stellairs is that beside renaming species_archetype file and changing a "defines" file I can't see why their mod works without issue and your broke.

I hope this helps.

So I have been troubleshooting my last playlist and found for some reason this mod disables the ability to build robots. Even starting with a robot or machine species I have no pop assembly and I get a odd message saying that there is no machine/robots to assemble.

I will try to play around with the load order just to make sure but so far it seems to be something with this mod after the Lem update.

Hope you fix this mod its exactly what i was looking for!

For everyone having issues with the techs not giving more trait points, one workaround is to rename the file in steamapps\workshop\content\281990\2489536457\common\species_archetypes from "mtp_species_archetypes.txt" to "00_species_archetypes.txt". be aware however that this will conflict with other mods that modify the 00_species_archetypes file.

no trait points too!

With this mod I don´t get any trait points in the game with techs.

Quick update, from what I can tell, modifying the species_archetypes file to change the starting trait picks seems to make researchs and ascensions stop giving points. I've tried other similar mods to make sure i didn't fuck up on my end and it seems to happen for others as well.

I am looking into it but i am not a very experienced modder so no promises. Sorry for the inconvenience.
