Trace Empire Customisation

'TEC' primarily contains dozens of vanilla-art-friendly rooms and cities.

Sequel to the deleted early Stellaris mod:


Please note no ship sets are finished, but I wanted to at least get them to a point where they look different in the preview so you don't accidentally use a placeholder.

Still waiting on Paradox to take out the hard-coded system where every city needs a species set and ship type.

Rooms:
For easier updating and more user choice, rooms are now only in my dedicated room mod!


This mod is the successor to my 'More City Types' mod that was popular in about 2016.
Highlights include:

- Factory city (like the unselectable industrial city, but without the brick house rows)
- Overgrown city (mammalian cities with the lights off, buildings covered in vines)
- Newcomers city (habitation hubs and geodesic dome networks)


SHIPS ARE LOW PRIORITY PLACEHOLDER because this started as a city set mod.
Ideally one day there will be unique meshes for ships and textures for all the city types included. Highlights include:

- Newcomers (a WIP style that looks low-tech and ragtag)
- Overgrown (mammalian ships with green windows and blotches independent of flag-based engine trails)
- Dirty (the old reskinned reptile theme has been redone into a dirty pirate culture)

Issues:
- New, empty species categories were added. The game lists them after the base ones, but I'm afraid it's stuck since the game is very rigid in saying "1 city per 1 species group".
- Ships are placeholder. I'd rather not have them in until done, just focus on the cities and rooms for now!

Update, 20 October 2019:
-Removed things I didn't like in every area, I'm trying to go for quality over quantity.
-More ecumenopolis support. Thanks to Bįőfąŧăĺ Đĭăpáşøń for making some!

Compressed a few more files, some textures are as little as an eighth in size. I mainly did this to save you guys hard-drive space, but I think I missed a few. For now.

October 2020:
Snipped the mod down more, the rooms are back in their separate mod for easier maintenence going forward.

News:
Regarding Halo themed graphics
I joined with the Sins of the Prophets Stellaris team in 2020! I gave them full permissions to use any Halo-appropriate cities and other graphics I've made, and I stopped working on my Halo content solo.

Feel free to use anything I make as modder resources, especially if I've not been around. Preferably with credit.

Mod compatible. Probably achievement compatible but it's very strict.
