[3.12] The Storm Cluster

Description
v1.16 (for 3.12.5)
Created as part of the Stellaris #MODJAM2022 contest, this mod adds the Storm Cluster mid-game crisis. The main purpose of this 'crisis' is to offer some new systems to explore after the midgame, and potentially cause some political shake up when empires gain some new neighbors. It is not intended to pose a threat to the galaxy, although it may allow existing threats to open up new fronts if they gain access.

Mechanics:
  • This crisis spawns an extragalactic system cluster, offering new systems to explore in the midgame and another chance to spawn special systems not already present in the galaxy. In some cases these systems have been slightly modified to be more valuable and/or more dangerous.
  • All systems are concealed in sensor-blocking nebulas, so you'll need to jump blindly into the systems instead of relying on sensor tech. This may be dangerous, so use caution - or cloaking!
  • The cluster is connected to the galaxy by a set of new wormholes that appear during a space storm. The space storm will last longer than normal, and the crisis ends on its own when it disperses.
  • Using the Galactic Doorstop origin will make it far more likely for a wormhole to the Storm Cluster to appear in or near your home system.

Known issues:
  • (Unfixable) The nebula graphics won't appear on the galaxy map unless you use the reload_graphical_map console command or reload the save. It's not possible to do this from script.
  • Sometimes spawns systems with crossed hyperlanes.

Console Commands:
  • reload_graphical_map
    will make the nebula graphics for the Storm Cluster appear on the galaxy map without requiring you to reload the game.
  • effect set_global_flag = scluster_allowed
    enables the Storm Cluster, if you didn't choose to turn it at game start.
  • effect remove_global_flag = scluster_allowed
    disables the Storm Cluster, if it hasn't fired yet.
  • effect begin_crisis_scluster = yes
    fires the Storm Cluster. If there's a space storm already active it will appear in a few days, otherwise it will start a space storm and appear in 6 to 18 months.
  • effect start_space_storm = yes
    starts a space storm. Useful if you want the Storm Cluster to appear sooner.

Hi, I came across a peculiar Crash

Unhandled exception C0000005 (EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION) at address 0x00007FF67C8CDBA5

This occurs whilst ingame, so first and foremost i love the concept, i have the base game and have my own custom MOD within the game which shouldn't effect any of the code within this mod as there are no overwrites. As well as Real Space (could be an issue here). I also have a few of the Modjam Crisis 2022 mods installed, i am not using Stellaris 4.0 i am running Stellaris 3.12 (held back to most of the updates)

I forced ran the crisis by using effect begin_crisis_scluster after 180 days the game then crashes or freezes and the above error occurs.

I tested this many times one play through i never use the effect and it went past the ingame date of the crash. Once i used the effect it crashes exactly 180 days.

Let me know what i can do to fix this?

Thanks!

WARNING: The upcoming Cosmic Storms DLC seems likely to break this mod, and require some amount of rewriting to get it working again, since the galaxy-wide space storm is being removed and replaced with smaller DLC-only storms. I advise you not to start games with this mod near the release date.

@thetruerift @lotoran the Deep Sleepers don't spawn with the Cosmogenesis perk, you must have another mod overwriting the cosmogenesis tech to remove the AP requirement.

@thetruerift @lotoran I'll take a look at how FE spawning is working

The cosmogenesis thing happened in my multiplayer game and my friend’s game as well. We were very confused. I guess the fallen empire in the cluster spawns with the perk.

So I am noticing now (3.12) that as soon as the storm cluster appears, it seems to trigger about a half dozen of the Cosmogenesis techs that alter reality, which suddenly applies a bunch of potentially serious bonuses and penalties to the galaxy
