+10% Habitability
-10% Pop Upkeep
+30 Leader Lifespan

"This hive has thrived through the eons, its biology naturally evolving to master diverse environments and sustain its ever-growing network of consciousness with efficiency and longevity."

- This origin’s code has been completely reworked from the ground up, taking inspiration from Giga Engineering’s Birch World.
- Game now spawns a whole new system and moves your capital into it.
- Now completely multiplayer compatible
- No longer uses initializers at empire creation
- No longer requires pacifist, only requires that you’re not machine empire


- AI now properly uses decisions and converts planets
- No longer gives +10% food as this is unnecessary given hive mind modifiers already exist. Opportunity cost now baby!
- Halved food costs of all decisions and replaced it with energy costs
- Replaced all event arts with new ones.
- Replaced all event text
- Conquering a Hive Amalgamation empire’s planet while it is being transformed now properly inflicts a nasty modifier that gets worse depending on the step.
- You also now get an event when you are the conqueror when this happens.
- Hive amalgamation empires that lose these planets can reconquer them then continue the process. If they do not regain access to the planet before the negative modifier expires, the hive has to completely restart the process.


- Renamed to “Terraforming Pioneers” from "World Shapers"
- Now starts with climate theory as a research option, before it was just given.
- Now grants +10% Terraforming Speed and -10% Terraforming cost (both down from 25)
- Can no longer spawn as an advanced empire due to this breaking the origin for some reason.


- Planetary Conquest has been removed from the mod.
- Removed as much code pertaining to Planetary Conquest as I could find
- If there is a demand, this will return but for some reason I doubt it.


- Renamed to “Chosen by Zro” from "Shroud Touched", as much as I love Shroud Touched I wanted to give this more of an identity as soon I also plan on adding an optional event chain tied to this
- Now gives psi theory as research option instead of full tech
- Surreal visions now effects 3-9 pops instead of just 3.
- Surreal visions SHOULD no longer create multiple subspecies despite having the same traits.
- Simplifies the code, before it specified “NOT presapients, enslaved, being purged, etc etc.” Now, it just targets full citizenship folk, idk why I didn’t do that to begin with.


- Only one change, the game start event that replaces a handful of leaders with members of your second species no longer changes your ruler.



- Renamed to "Swords Into Sactuaries" from "Swords into Plowshares"
- No longer reads like a freakin galactic community resolution
- Swapped +5% resources from jobs for +33% trust growth
- Swapped all negative modifiers for a simple +10% cost and upkeep for ships.
- Gave unique building (Might make upgradable? We'll see, culture workers might be a little op if stacked.)


- Made more compatible with other mods.
- Specifically, now uses it’s own assimilation species rights and no longer overrights the vanilla assimilation.
- Now properly gives goodies when pops are assimilated.
- Empires starting with this now have a unique personality that makes them more aggressive (similarly to driven assimilators for machines). This personality tends to favor strike craft.
- Now has CB on machine empires but I might change it to specifically driven assimilators and guardians as they’re the only ones with actual pops.

+1 Research Opportunity


- Updated A BUNCH of localization with the help of AI. It’s a necessary evil, I’m bad at articulating myself lol.
- Updated all art with AI generated art.
- All civics now follow the “base” stellaris AI weight. Basically, they are now at the same odds of spawning as all other civics. Some origins are now less likely to spawn in accordance to other AI weights.
- Lowered AI weight of Coalition Against Organics empires to 1. This means it is very unlikely this spawns just in general. If you spawn next to this, you are VERY unlucky.
- Fixed typos
- Replaced corp civic icons to better be in line with the rest and not the wrong color.
- May have missed other changes.
