* Better Perks changes have been added (Thanks for the feedback @Aphyxia).

* Added new scripted variable placeholder for ESAP mod.
* Added new re-roll function via edict for Vanilla perks, ESAP perks and a single Empires Expanded Perks (the only one that does not add "permanent" changes to society).
* Made an override ap_our_true_vision and AAR_ap_ETHIC in order to hide them from Hive Minds since this mod offers equivalent alternatives to ALL Gestalts. (Thanks for the feedback @Graion Dilach)
* Better Perks no longer grant -leader_skill_levels = 5- (Thanks for the report @Aphyxia)

* Added Better Perks hydrocentric trait tooltip.
* Mastery of Nature no longer adds buildings when used with Better Perks mod, buffs are now swapped to districts. (Thanks for the report @Aphyxia)
* Slightly adjusted all perks to reflect Better Perks additions.
* Fixed localization reference "aap_mechromancy_zombie_machine" to "ap_mechromancy_zombie_machine".
* Created an inline toggle for ACOT tooltip -"must_know_about_fe" and trigger- -acot_cosmogenesis_alpha_condition_check = yes-.
* Switched Kek origins scripted variable from @KO_galactic_core_maximum_hyper_check to @kek_origins_active. (Thanks a lot for your collaboration @ Kekadoodle  !)

* Added compatibility for Kek's Origins: Created inline toggles for -has_origin = KO_ZroTouched- in Engineered Evolution AP, Flesh is Weak AP and Synthetic Evolution AP.

* Added Empires Expanded changes; empires with civic_hive_manipulators_of_life are now able to pick Engineered Evolution AP early like Overtuned empires and the potential trigger changed. (Thanks for the report @kNow Name!)

* Added -damage_vs_country_type_giga_eawaf_sirens_mult = 0.5- to Defenders of the Galaxy AP. (Thanks for the report @kNow Name!)

* Cleaning up some bits of unused script (scripted triggers) related to Monopolist Crisis Path, ACOT and Gigastructures.
* Deactivated last bits of Organic Zealots compatibility, until we get an update for that mod.
* Fixed ap_one_vision potential check that was supposed to have a NOT gate. (Thanks for the report @Aphyxia!)

* Further Planetary Diversity tweaks in ascension paths, preparing for future PD updates.

* Inline toggles were not accepting mathematical operations for more complex toggles, therefore, I just simplified inline toggles for Planetary Diversity and ZOFE.
* Deactivated some Planetary Diversity conditions that are not used by Gateman (PD mod's author).
* Fixed Worthy Perks change to Detox perk because it was using "planet_jobs_worker_(advanced resource)_produces_mult" instead of "planet_jobs_(advanced resource)_produces_mult", 4.0 now produces more advanced resources from specialists rather than workers and the perk would barely have an effect if left as it is.
* Fixed localization across all languages.

INITIAL V4.0.* UPDATE:

* Economic categories are no longer touched to avoid compatibility issues with other mods and is also no longer required since relevant mods moved away from major economic categories modding.

* Dropped compatibility for Plentiful Perks and Traditions, there is a lot of 4.0 features from this mod that are broken, it needs an update.
* Plentiful Perks and Traditions starbase fix is no longer required since this mod is unsupported but also because the starbase initial limit is no longer changed by this mod, the Plentiful starbase fix is now commented out but the file is there as a reminder to check on this mod later.

* Buffed colossus with lower maintenance cost for ships and lower war exhaustion gain (vanilla change).
* It seems Paradox integrated a rule from Bug branch for Hive worlds [is_lithoid_devouring_swarm = no # Lithoid devouring swarms consume worlds and cannot improve them (since they never get terraforming tech)] (this is now vanilla)
* Added Wilderness, Evolutionary Predators and general Biogenesis DLC rules to all ascension paths.
* Added Overtuned rule for ap_engineered_evolution so they can get it as a second perk.

* Switched leader_commanders_unity_upkeep_mult to leader_commanders_unity_upkeep_add in ap_lord_of_war.
* Fixed instances of planet_priests to planet_bureaucrats, proper swaps are already set in place for 4.0 and the category is merged.
