thanks for your services!

official 1.8.2 is out, this mod is not needed anymore! Just uninstall it.

update please

update please

Still having an issue where a Ruined Science Nexus cannot be repaired.

sigh its sad when a modder has to fix problems for them and all they will do is take your work and add it and say they did it a joke really for 5.99..... nice work tought

Regularity, thanks, i'm looking into this issue, but i'm not sure if it can be fixed via mod…

Also, "Population Controls" policy choice is hidden from synthetic ascended nations. But the pops themselves still get a -10% happiness penalty from "Population Controls Enabled", even though you can't change the setting because its hidden...

@Firedron

Synthetic Ascendants are supposed to have them, I think. They have individual ethos, happiness, and even unrest. And before 1.8 they did have factions.

I'm guessing somewhere some wires got crossed and a dev confused synthetic ascended populations with starting synthetics when locking them out of faction attraction.

Thanks dudes

Regularity, i'm not sure this is a bug and not working as designed
Nesano, Risa's patch for 1.8.1 only

To rollback to 1.8 you unsubscribe from this and subscribe to Risa's unofficial patch.

To "rollback to 1.8" you *drumroll* opt out ot the beta patch 1.8.1

How can I use 1.8 it doesnt allow me to rollback to it?

Any chance you could look into the bug where organics who transform into synthetics leave all factions forever? I haven't seen it addressed in the beta patch notes, but I imagine somewhere devs mixed up the variables for starting machines and ascended machine pops.

I am not using it for 1.8.1 But it's air enough that one will wait until 1.8.1 hits berfore making any further modifications.

Seven Flames, don't use my mod if you oped for 1.8.1... i'll wait till 1.8.1 till making any new mods...

Yes, I kow. But it says that it's fixed for 1.8. Since 1.8.1 fixes a few things that fixes your mod for 1.8 on it's own, I am afraid that it might cause some issues with 1.8.1.

Seven Flames, "Spare Parts Depot" bug is fixed in my mod

Is it possible to mod the last point about the "Spare Parts Depot" for 1.8.1beta?
Though they said in the patch notes that this ssue has been fixed, it actually hasn't and is still bugged.

I looked a the files and that's what I thought but wanted to make sure I didn't miss something. Thanks.

why should symbol of purity not be use multiple times? Rogue servitors can have a shit ton of unity per op, cant they?

Thanks for the info!

AstroCat, you don't need this mod if you've installed 1.81 beta.

do you still need this with 1.81 beta?

@Lazard that has been fixed in the 1.8.1 beta release.

I found that i could not colonize as a vassal even inside my own borders. Disabled all my Mods and issue was still there. So i am pretty sure its a problem in the vanilla game. Maybe you can add a fix for this in this Mod as well? Would be pretty cool.

@Firedron Let me know your e-mail by sending message.

oh sorry I was thinking of living standards lol. also I could've sworn that pop control also disabled construction of said robo pops, but I guess not. if firedron isn't getting it (which it looks like he isn't), try checking if it's a mod breaking it, or if your stellaris updated wrong (it happens). you may wanna try validating file integrity. make sure you back up any file you've edited beforehand, if you've done so.

Fatty nerd, i don't have savefile there synthetic pops are effected by population control - can you send me one? I've tried to reproduce this bug, but synth pops are not getting malus in my game – only egalitarian faction is complaining about migration control.

@Ridesdragons I know synthetic pops are effected by happiness. But it didn't happened before 1.8. Pop controled enabled -10% happiness penalty was only for biological pop not for synthetic pop what should be built.

@fatty nerd that's not a bug. synthetic pops are effected by happiness. that's always been the case. robots, droids, and hive minds (including machine empires) are the only ones that don't deal with happiness. everyone else does.

there's no point in taking this down, as the 1.8.1 opt-in patch is still just that: opt-in. most mods do not account for opt-in betas, and they shouldn't anyway, since opt-in betas are a work in progress, and can change upon final release. Knowing paradox, it probably will change.

Best kept this up if you dont mind. The new beta has broken the races and traits even worse then 1.8 release did. ^^

Can you fix synthetic evoluted pop suffered by population controled?

Thanks for your work pal, but this is no longer necesary. 1.8.1 is now opt-in-able via steam betas and fixes all this and more.

Doomwarrior, ruined megastructures bug doesn't affect ring worlds.

"Ruined Megastructures can't be repaired" are you sure? Do you refer to dyson sphere and such or also to Ring World?

oh hey it's glavius lol

firedron, the changes he's adding is in the tech tree, to allow machine empires to research to research frontier health. I brought up that this fix was only half-implimented (he worked with supply depots in his buildings file, but never fixed the research it was dependant on in the tech file) and asked if he could impliment the bugfix

thanks, both of you

Minor bug but the AI_Core fortress the contingency in its Sterilization hubs has a empty XL slot and a empty L slot.

Thanks! Makes me wonder what is taking the developers so long.. Hardcode?

Will 1.8.1 Fix that pesky Custom Race no traits glitch? i HOPE SO :) But thanks for this too ;3

Glavius, sure - you can use it as you like!

@Firedron
Yeah, I just wanted to know if I could use it and merge it into the mod. Also, I'm not doing the megastructure piece since some people really want to be able to build multiple megastructures and I don't want to overwrite the ability for that.

Glavius, i've looked into you mod - it seems you're already merged almost every fix from my mod already, just copy megastructures folder to fix Ruined Megastructures bug.

Glavius, i can try to merge fixes into your mod although scope of my mod is different – I just want to fix most obvious confirmed bugs before 1.8.1 released without altering AI behavior or other developer’s design decisions.

@Firedron
I wanted to know if I could adapt your mod code into my megamod. I'd be happy to link back to this mod.

@古尔梅特 辛格 ® I recommend the mod Utopia Expanded. it enhances megastructures and enable the ability to build things such as dyson rings and machine ringworlds. just make sure that if you're using that mod in tandem with this mod, that you go into this mod's zip folder and delete the megastructures folder, as they both modify the same file. this will ensure that UE gets the final say.

Nice work!

samsockeater, ruined megastructures bug doesn't affect ring worlds.

does that extend to ring worlds or no?
