Big Builders [DEPRICATED]

[UPDATE] 4 February 2017: I was unable to get previously-elected rulers from appearing back on the ballot. I've bashed things into shape; each election will give you precisely one (1) randomly-generated ruler who cannot be an existing leader. It's not ideal, but if you don't like them, just kick them right back out of office; just like real Union politics.

Big Builders is a mod I made for a friend who wanted to be able to make both an oversized station and an oversized ship. Things kind of snowballed from there. When you subscribe to this mod, you get the following:

• One new government, the Orbital Construction Union, and its advanced version, the Stellar Construction Union.
  
• Icons for both new governments.
  
• Full English localisation; including the elusive START_SCREEN_PART_TWO message.
  
• Comprehensive random empire-names names for Orbital Construction Unions, all appropriately trade union-themed.
  
• Four, count 'em, four free, vanilla-compliant premade empires using the new government type!

This mod adds two new governments; election-based governments with very short term limits and the ability to construct Oversized Ships and Stations, as well as granting various bonuses relating to ship and station upkeep, size, and build costs. Additionally, the advanced government type does not unlock in sociology; rather, it unlocks when you research the fifth spaceport tech.


Check out my other Stellaris mods as well:
Expanded Habitability greatly eases the burdens of colonizing new planets, allowing for more ready expansion.

Stellar Energy treats stars and gas giants as the huge sources of energy they are, making especially early-game energy expansion fairly simple; but beware, what is easy to gain is easy to lose...

Shadow's Defines is a collection of changes I made for myself; among other things, it makes Sectors purely-optional, alleviates a lot of drain on Influence, and makes the game more like a typical 4x.

Free Starport Repairs is a standalone mod that does exactly what it says on the tin; makes ship repairs at starports as free as having an Engineer admiral or a defense platform with the repair nanobots upgrade.

Shadow's Radical Space Foxes is a completely crap and depricated mod that nobody should be using because I am garbage with any kind of image editing software. Use Silfae's Fox Portraits Dimorphism for all your sexy space vixen needs!

Belle and Bellicosity is a simple technology addon mod that adds technologies which allow you to increase your Embassy and Rivalry limits, so you can make a lot of friends and a lot of enemies! The standard version is tuned for use without escalating technology costs. If you're using standard Stellaris escalting technology costs, use the Vanilla Tech Costs version.

Shadow's Usable Planet Size Increase is yet another planet size increasing mod. Increase the size of any planet up to 25! The AI might actually use this one, too. And it has a nice logo!
