Thanks for saying that, really appreciate it.

Thanks for all the work you've done on it. It was a great mod while it was needed.

As of the next update for Stellaris, I will be discontinuing my upkeep of these mods, as they've become more a chore than a passion project for me now, and it's getting more and more inconvenient to try and keep them up to date for me. Thanks for using it while it's been developed though, I hope you enjoyed it, and if you want to continue the mod yourself, you can subscribe to it, download the mod and continue its development yourself.

From the sound of it, this mod will be made redundant with the advent of the Federations DLC anyway.

Trying to use the steam version of the mod myself, it has no effect in-game, using the stock trust values. Please let me know if the mod still works for you. A good method of checking is to see if someone you have a non-aggression pact with or defensive pact with has 600 or 100 trust maximum.

Due to the new updated launcher, I can't update the steam version of the mod for version 2.4.0. For anyone experienced in modding, you can simply copy - paste the 00defines file from the original game, then change the trust values accordingly to fix it for yourself, but for those who aren't experienced in game file manipulation, I will make every effort to try and upload the new version as soon as possible.

In the meantime, however, I recommend not using the mod, as it's likely to cause crashes or other weird bugs.

that's odd. Never mind, it still works

Still says it's for 2.0.2 but if it works then I'll just use it!

I think I've sorted it now, please let me know if it's not fixed.

The mod works perfectly fine for 2.0.4, it's just not registered as being so, so the game gives you a warning. I'll fix it soon

just wondering if this was gonna be updated to 2.0.4?

I've tried using this instead, but I noticed in a new game I started. that it stopped to mod from working. So, I'm going to revert back to the old way of doing it for now at least.

ok, thanks.

I'm sorry, I'm stupid, the reason the lua isn't working is because it doesn't use that anymore. This is all you need in a text file named differently so it won't overwrite defines:

NAI = {
MAX_TRUST = 500
NDefines.NAI.MAX_TRUST_DEFENSIVE_PACT = 500
NDefines.NAI.MAX_TRUST_ASSOCIATE = 500
NDefines.NAI.MAX_TRUST_NAP = 200
NDefines.NAI.MAX_TRUST_MIN = 100
NDefines.NAI.BASE_TRUST_CHANGE = -0.50
NDefines.NAI.MONTHLY_TRUST_GUARANTEE = 0.45
NDefines.NAI.MONTHLY_TRUST_RESEARCH_TREATY = 0.35
NDefines.NAI.MONTHLY_TRUST_MIGRATION_TREATY = 0.75
NDefines.NAI.MONTHLY_TRUST_NON_AGGRESSION_PACT = 0.80
NDefines.NAI.MONTHLY_TRUST_ASSOCIATION_STATUS = 1.00
NDefines.NAI.MONTHLY_TRUST_DEFENSIVE_PACT = 1.00
NDefines.NAI.MONTHLY_TRUST_SUBJECT = 0.55
NDefines.NAI.MONTHLY_TRUST_FEDERATION = 2.50
NDefines.NAI.MONTHLY_TRUST_AT_WAR = -20.00
NDefines.NAI.MONTHLY_TRUST_RIVAL = -5.00
}

Yeah, in my 2.0.2 game, that problem doesn't exist, if you change to the beta it will fix it. Sorry to force you into it for now though, I'll have a 2.0.1 (non-beta) version done tommorrow.

OK lol, so the latest compatability update made it so the mod straight up didn't work. I don't know how to fix that war exhaustion thing, but I'll keep trying because it's really bad.

if you are using version 2.0.1, then I'll release a non-beta version of the mod. I just fixed that problem for 2.0.2, at least in my game.

I got that, what evrsion of the game are you using?

I'm not sure if it is your mod, but the AI (and me) get "High War Exhaustian" as soon as any war starts, even at 0%. This leads to Automatic white peaces. Again, not sure if it's this mod but thought I should let ya know.

I'm just going to keep updating it, it's fine. I honestly can't be bothered with all of this right now, I have so much other stuff to do.

Sorry for the late reply, i hope i didn't ruin anyone's games helping you fix this ;D

the lua format thinks this is code:

# trust can tick up to this if non-aggression pact

You have to remove those parts or use -- instead of #

???? it doesnt?... it works for me..

that's odd, because when I tried it in-game it didn't work

er oops i had an error in a picture i linked. Nevermind that. Your file is correct. ANyway, if you want to keep modding in the future, I recommend the program Notepad++.

the picture you just showed me is correct. That's how it looks. The 'nai' thing is the defined catagory the dev put it in, and Ndefines is the command, while the rest of it is the code you are changing. The defines files have tons of categories under each of those, so make sure you fi you change the defines you always know what category what you are changing belongs under. 'NAI' would change accordingly, to NDiplomacy, if your mod was more about diplomatic relations.

I changed the file extension, but I don't really know what I'm meant to do with the text inside:

Could you put up an example of what I'm meant to do? I tried copying the part inside the brackets on ur last one.

oh, there's a setting you have to change on windows 7 to make it so you can change file extensions. If you just look it up you should find it online. i forgot where it is...

If you super can't figure it out don't be afraid to add me or something. I do a lot of 'modding fuckery' so the lowest teir of modding i can handle. this is totally a simple mod and with that little fix it should be compatible with anything that doesn't also change trust growth...

I tried that, and it just had the .lua bit on the end rather than changing the file type.

yeah the version number doesnt really matter, and yes to make a .lua all you have to do is rename .txt to .lua. :P

It should still work, I often don't put much stock in the red exclamation mark, if it doesn't work, let me know and I'll make a non-beta version.

So, can this mod run on 2.0.1 still? My game says its not compatable, but i'm not using the latest beta, just the latest release.

Actually, I've released, at least for now, A 2.0.2 compatible version. I hope it helps.

How do I make a .lua file?

thanks, I'll get on it right away

Um so i decided to fix it. if you isolate your changes into a .lua file with the command NDefines. (EX. NDefines.NAI.MAX_TRUST = 500 ) and name the lua file something like tf_defines then you won't overwrite the vanilla files. Bam. no more mod conflictions.

its odd to get that from your mod but i guess it might be because you overwrite defines and maybe it's conflicting with another mod? im not sure... but either way i literally cant play stellaris now. lol...

damn... in 2.0.2 there seems to be an odd bug where i am getting perminant high war and high piracy risk from using this mod...

Have Fun!

Thank you! Finally I can make my honorbound warrior federation! The Irken Council of Oros, the Battle Clans of Fex'Klansiga and My People's Regime Of Aruros will rule the stars together!!!

No problem!

thank you! this makes forming federations and adding alien civs to them much easier.

Thanks!

Looks Awesome!

The mod has now been made compatible with version 2.0.0 of the game. I think it may still work for those who chose to stay at 1.9 for your save's sake. I think it should be, but let me know if you have any problems, I'll make a 1.9 version in a jiffy.

I am currently investigating the 2.0.0 changes to the compatability of the mod. Either I'll update the tag for the mod to clear it, or I'll update it.

It should instantly apply to any game, started prior to getting the mod or not.

I just want to be positive, does this mod work in already atarted games?

Don't wanna give up on the game I've got because "oh shucks looks like I maxed my fed"

Good to hear it :)

Thanks. I just had a game where I couldn't form a federation even though I had everyone friendly to me and each other because I'm a pacifist and everyone was giving me a -50 for that. And I have diplomacy maxed, defender of the galaxy, and a mod tradition that give me a +20 opinion from everyone. This fixed that right up.

The default trust cap is unrealistically, frustratingly low.
