Trade & Research Arcologies [3.12]

This mod pretty much does what it say on the tin. Instead of Housing and Entertainment Arcologies you will be able to build new Commerce and Research Arcologies. Also provides special new arcologies for gestalts.



I'm currently burned out on Stellaris and moved back to Crusader Kings. Eventually I'll come back and update all my mods, but I make no promises on the timeframe. In the mean time I give my blessing to anyone who wants to make an up-to-date re-release of my mods. I'd just appreciate a mention as the original creator. Now back to the mod.



Normal empires will have the following arcologies available:

• Foundry Arcology
  
• Factory Arcology
  
• Commerce Arcology
  
• Research Arcology
  
• Administrative/Ecclesiastical Arcology

Rogue Sevitors will have the following arcologies available:

• Foundry Arcology
  
• Factory Arcology
  
• Generator Arcology
  
• Research Arcology
  
• Sanctuary Arcology

Other gestalt empires* will have the following arcologies available:

• Foundry Arcology
  
• Maintenance Arcology
  
• Generator Arcology
  
• Research Arcology
  
• Coordination Arcology

*Do note that the mod doesn't change who can create an ecumenopolis, so most gestalts will still have to capture one from a normal empire. I just covered my bases for when that happens.

All arcologies now give 9 housing, which increases to 12 with the appropriate Prosperity tradition. Normal empires that take Trickle Up Economis tradition (Mercentile) will also get +3 Clerk jobs on each arcology.

The rare resource used and jobs provided by the new arcologies:

• Commerce Arcology: uses Rare Crystals, provides +6 Traders
  
• Research Arcology: uses Exotic Gases, provides +6 Researchers/Calculators/Brain Drones
  
• Generator Arcology: doesn't use any special resource, provides +6 Technician Drones
  
• Maintenance Arcology: doesn't use any special resource, provides +6 Maintenance Drones
  
• Coordination Arcology: uses Rare Crystals, provides +6 Coordinators/Synapse Drones

This is a gameplay altering mod and as such it will prevent you from getting achievements.

The mod replaces one file:
common/districts/01_arcology_districts

Apart from that though it should be compatible with everything.

I would be grateful if you could rate the mod with either thumbs up or thumbs down. If you rate it with a thumbs up and you really enjoy it, please consider also marking it as a favorite.

If you like this mod you might also like my other mods.
