📦 Mod Name: Beachboys Fair AI – Version 2.4.2 (Phoenix Support + fixes)
🧩 Compatible with Stellaris: 4.0.*
🆔 Mod ID: 3464924561
🚧 Status: In Development – Feedback Requested

🧠 Overview:
Beachboys Fair AI is a complete rework of Stellaris' AI systems — designed entirely with the help of ChatGPT, and built on custom logic, not cheats or scripts.
The goal is a smarter, fairer galaxy where every empire plays by the same rules.
This mod upgrades how the AI handles warfare, economy, colonization, population, diplomacy, districts, megacorps, anomalies, and more.

🎯 Balanced for “Ensign” difficulty — strategy only, no buffs.

🔧 What’s Inside:

⚔️ 1. Smarter Military Strategy
- AI splits its fleet budget sensibly: 50% battleships, 30% cruisers, 15% destroyers, 5% corvettes.
- It balances between building ships, affording upkeep, and trading to keep its navy strong.

🛠️ 2. Better Early Exploration & Expansion
- Science ships survey faster and avoid danger.
- Builders prioritize safe paths and smart construction order.

📊 3. Smarter Resource Use (Economy 2.0)
- AI manages its economy in “budgets” — separate pools for alloys, energy, consumer goods, unity, and minerals.
- If it’s low on something, it trades or reroutes production intelligently.
- 🧪 Exotic Gas Handling:
--- Builds refineries or buys gases when needed.
--- Turns minerals into gases if no other option.
--- Delays research lab upgrades if it can’t afford upkeep.

💱 4. Improved Trade Logic (Phoenix 4.0 Update)
- Uses the new `trade` resource instead of old trade routes.
- Builds and manages trade nodes better.

⚙️ 5. Smarter Pop Job Assignment
- Takes pop happiness and job demand into account.
- Moves workers to where they’re most needed.

🔬 6. Focused Tech Choices
- AI picks techs based on what it actually needs, not random rolls.
- Keeps physics, society, and engineering balanced.

🏙️ 7. District & Sector Management
- Builds up districts when needed and shifts pops between sectors to keep output high.
- Supports Phoenix’s district layout.
- 🆕 v2.4: Sectors now rebalance pop jobs across worlds for better efficiency.

🏛️ 8. Megacorp Logic
- Corporations expand only when they can afford it and the target world is worth it.

🔔 9. Event & Anomaly Handling
- AI responds to events and anomalies more intelligently.
- 🆕 v2.4: Empire traits and economy now influence which anomalies the AI researches first.

🛠️ 10. Habitat & Colony Management
- Only builds habitats when it makes sense.
- Colonizes strategically and considers terraforming or migration first.
- Won’t go broke doing it.

⚖️ 11. Stability System
- Under 45% stability? The AI shifts focus to save itself.
- Builds stabilizing structures and reroutes priorities.

🏆 12. Victory Score Aware
- Tracks its score ranking and changes behavior if it’s falling behind.

🕋 13. Great Khan Interaction
- Surrenders if weak, fights if strong. Gestalts never surrender.

🧩 14. Mod Friendly & Expandable
- Works with most vanilla-friendly mods.
- 🆕 v2.4: Other mods can hook into the AI system using new API endpoints.

📘 15. Smarter Edict Use
- Uses edicts wisely, won’t waste unity or bankrupt itself.
