Description
Vanilla Economy Overhaul

  • Moves technology economical bonuses from the percentage stack to the add stack, lifestyles, edicts, governance all scale well into late game now.
  • Reduces job output, increases upkeep, to make it harder to compete with AI. AI difficulty bonuses are significantly more impactful throughout the game and don't fade into irrelevance by mid-game anymore.
  • Moves trait bonuses for vanilla traits from percentage stack to add stack to scale into the later game.
  • Drastically increases trait weights to ensure the right pop does the right job.
  • Defines and some repeatable technologies were adjusted to curb issues with dominant AIs vassalizing everything.

The mod uses inlines to tag jobs to be filled depending on traits, so patching this for modded jobs is trivial.

Focus research requires the flags set by Flava and will do nothing without that mod loaded before. Mod will still work however.

Any feedback please to kanka@6569 on Discord or in Stellaris Modding Den.

Also, since you're already messing with techs and such, could I humbly request that you add overrides so that everything that adds production also adds a commensurate amount of upkeep? It feels weird that so much stuff is like "INCREASE PRODUCTION", which is alright for a while but eventually strains my belief and also, uh, game balance.

Also maybe reduce the amount of stuff that decreases job upkeep. With the right buffs, you can get zero job upkeep. I don't like spawning resources out of nothing.

I'm very sad that you've overridden the scripted variables for technology to make them cheaper, because I also override scripted variables for technology to make them more expensive , and your changes override mine :(

I like the increases in upkeep. I think increases in output should come with increases in input so that the main benefit is using less pops.
