Origin Constructor - Unofficial Patch

Description
Unofficial fork/update of Origin Constructor:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2964576278&searchtext=origin+constructor

Known Issues:
- UI is kinda ugly right now but everything is visible and working
- some people experience a crash during empire creation when they swap leader types
- i addresses issues with the new 3.8 leader origin by disabling it, not by actually implementing it

What happens next:
As you see, this mod exists since over a month now, it was not listed and only intended for personal use. I provided all the code of this patch to the original mod author in hopes of speeding up the progress, but so far he has not responed. It happens, and will eventually happen to this fork too, maybe in two months, maybe in two years, but eventually i'll have a period where i have real life stuff going on too.

For now, i will only keep this mod in a stable, running condition. I don't want to put in a lot of work that the original mod author is doing too, and i especially don't want to add my own content and create a conflict. Once he returns and the original mod is updated, this fork will be set to private.

If he doesn't contact me within the next two months, i will address the known issues. Afterwards, i may edit the actual non-vanilla content:
- add more origin options for gestalt robots (check it out - since tree of life and progenitor hive are banned for them, as well as the regular gestalt restrictions, they have almost no variety)
- rebalance the costs of the origins
- rebalance some vanilla origins, e.g. increase the size of tomb world start and/or add planetary features to justify the cost
- potentially, rework the expertises to be less of a kickstart and more of an engaging mechanic (e.g. archeology project that unlocks military tech instead of starting with destroyers, terraforming candidate and increased new worlds research speed instead of an available planet, etc.)

You are the lord and savior of one of my favorite mods. Also you can jank UI overhaul into working if you put it in this order at the bottom of your load order: UI overhaul, Origin Constructor, Origin Constructor Unofficial Patch

@Killer Tamashi you won't get it to work with UI overhaul without a compatibility patch, they both overwrite the same UI. As written below it is heavily incompatible.

Besides it's only updated for 3.8 at the moment, i was really hoping the original author would come back and take over but it does not seem this way.

I dunno about others but this mod does not work for me at all, completely destroys the UI with ui overhaul

I might update it again in the future, but it's honestly a gamble. If i really want to play with the mod when the new update hits i will do it end of this year (i'm currently moving and don't have a lot of time to spare), if i don't i won't.

The mod overwrites an AWFUL lot of vanilla files which is not only horrible for compatibility with other mods, it also means the last time i updated (only making it run and disabling the new origin, not including it in the origins that work with this) took me 4 hours.

This is only going to get worse over time, and continuously putting effort in without getting new features does not feel very rewarding. It feels to me like that time might be better spent creating something from scratch that does not affect vanilla files and needs less maintenance.

Any plans on the updating? Author of original mod isn't hurrying doing something about it while concept of the mod is quite promising (and sounds perfect to try various attempts in combining various origins).

why the weird cost for ethics and picks ?? this makes it uncompatible with mods adding other ethos
