Hive Name Diversity

Description
What is it?
Vanilla Stellaris has very few variations of random empire names for hive minds. Just as the title suggest, Hive Name Diversity adds an absolutely massive amount of variations for hive names.

Random variations take in account several parameters and combine them to generate unique names, such as:
  • Home world name
  • Home system name
  • Main species class
  • Origins (Progenitor Hive, Tree of Life, Subterranean, Necrophage)
  • Permanent Civics (Myccorhizal Ideal, Guardian Cluster, Devouring Swarm / Terravore)
  • Aquatic trait

The mod is localised in English only, but it would be easy to add more languages if anyone want to give it a try.



Installation
This mod will not conflict with any other mod, even other mods that add empire names. It won't break anything if you load a prior save game, but it won't rename preexisting empires either. Not achievement friendly.

You need Utopia or BioGenesis to unlock Hive Minds.



My Other Mods
Council Position Diversity: Adds custom councilor titles to replace the default Head of Research, Minister of Defense, and Minister of State based on your government type. Includes a few extra governments as well.

Detox Technology: Removes the Detox ascension perk from the Toxoids DLC and replaces it with a tech.

Precursor Selection Advanced: Allows the selection of precursor and rebalance the trigger rate of initial discovery.

All Rooms Selection: Allows selecting most leader rooms that are normally unavailable when creating a new empire.

Faster City Growth: Makes cities grow faster in Planet View.

Name List Collection: A compilation of custom-made name lists for empires.

This mod does not work on Linux, because the folders are capitalized when they shouldn't be. Fixing it should just be a matter of changing the names to be all lowercase, like the vanilla folders.

Would you mind changing uses of "Sentient" to "Sapient" for the sake of immersion? This is very much a nitpick as I love the names this mod has come up with based on the screenshots alone, just something that I'd appreciate to bring it in-line with the Stellaris terminology for civilization-making intelligence

@ShadowEater25 I honestly haven't check if it was compatible with achievement, but I would guess not. As for multiplayer, it should work fine.

does this work with multiplayer and or achievements?

@Cyph the Terrible I'm very glad to hear it! I've been putting a lot of time into these mods, so it's always great to know people are enjoying them!

the golden era of hives is upon us. i've been using this mod and the councilor name diversity mod since their release since I am a addict to hive minds. Thank you for this mod and councilor name diversity, it helps so much with the roleplay and keeping things unique!

Hey all! I intend to update this mod later this week to better support BioGenesis, but it should still work fine until then.

@Draedon Glad to hear it! I was thinking of doing megacorps next.
