Zerg Swarm origin

Description
Adds the Zerg race as an origin to Stellaris, implemented as a Devouring Swarm starting on a Hive World. The Zerg trait makes their leaders immortal and their pops extremely adaptable (+200% habitability like machines), allowing them to quickly colonize and expand. This origin starts with the prerequisite tech unlocked for both the Hive Worlds and Engineered Evolution ascension perks. Updated to 3.8.3.

This mod still works even if the launcher says otherwise. Just tested it and I start with a Hive World, 200% habitability and extra tech to make more hive worlds.

I love this mod but maybe an update is in-order

Hi, the game had patches 3.9.1 and 3.9.2 (there are changes and new modding options), maybe it's worth updating your mod?

since the release of First Contact, it would be neat if you could now implement something like a primal zerg origin like folks were mentioning below, with a few guaranteed pre-ftl's and you get to assimilate from the start?

@burlaczech Did you? Zerus is primal zerg homeworld.
They weren't a hive there, primal zergs work more like packs.

Hivemind and such came with their meddling and the Overmind.

@anonymous-77 did you even play the game? Zerus is the homeworld of the zerg (literally half of the campaign is about it), Char was the homeworld of the Overmind.

Pretty sure the old lore said something like that.

But hey, I'm not Blizzard, so take it with a grain of salt ^-^

Zerus holds the primal zerg, and that was the only real zerg spot for a long time.

That is, until they started to head offworld, and they began to change. As they do.

The modern "Hive" zerg arose on Char and began to infest everything from there using the Overmind.

So, Char is really the origin point of the Hive zerg, and could be considered the homeworld.
