I honestly don't mind rolling back my game to play this mod; it's THAT awesome! An update to the new release would still be great, and any new feutures welcome, but I'm really having enough fun already, if you don't have the time. Thanks!

does this mod work for the current version of the game as of april tenth?

"Blankets the galaxy in primitives"... not an understatement. i love cleansing my galaxies of alien life but cranked max honestly i i i think i may have burned out my will to exterminate. it was like planetary whack a mole. also fps dropped to 0.5... but the absolute chaos that was unfolding was absolutely worth it. thank you.

p.s. put a warning label on this fps murderer lol

thank you for this so i give life to them or in slave them

I have updated the mod at the following location: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2114288421

Does this effect performance? As in do primitive pops cause more lag?

This is my favorite and only MUST have mod. Will it be updated?

It don't seems to work for me... When I put x5 at the begining of the game, everything is normal

This still works. Now to figure out how to update the version info since they changed the process...

Still works for me :D

Will it be updated to 2.6?

is there gonna be an update?

can we get an update when federations drops please? <3

imagine using with this mod

Ambulatory Cortex// Thank you.

Coocoodas, it changes the value of usage_odds in special_init_02 in special_system_initializers.txt from 1.5 to 20. So a bit over 13 times more than vanilla.

Could I know the exact formula? Is it 20x to vanilla? Since 1x in vanilla is 3%, does it mean it's 1x is 60%? I'3m asking because I had it at x5 which is supposely 300% but I found some planet empty.

I kinda wish it were 100% at x5 so I could scale down to the number I want from there, .25 being 5%.

Shouldn't be. Let me know.

Does this mod change anything that would make it incompatible with the current version?

I do not know how the game chooses what sites get digs, so I couldn't tell you.

Does this mod mean there's less archeological dig sites?

Just so you know: using the mature_galaxy command with this mod active causes the game to crash. Otherwise, solid mod.

Thank you. I'll use it well

many thanks

Ambulatory Cortex: they are spawned by a anomalies/special events I believe.

it would just be a matter of tweaking the spawn rate of these to make them appear more often :)

Probably not from me. I really don't care about pre-sentients and they appear to be spawned by an entirely different system.

Any chance of a pre-sentients version of this mod?

Pre-sentients++ hasn't been updated for ages...

i love this

best mod

Ro-Z, I felt the same way when making it. Glad you like it!

This is really nice. I was super dissapointed by '5x primitives' in vanilla. Installing your mod and there is atleast 20 primitive civs between me and the nearest entity in a 500 star system with 1 other ai empire and only trade caravans. We each spawned in different corners and there are hundreds of primitives in the galexy but little to no space faring civs, exactly as i wanted to play. Thanks for making the experience i wanted possible

If you wanna go a bit more crazy about primitives, why not make them advance faster? Check out this here mod "Primitive Einsteins":

in case anyone is wondering, this is working fine in 2.2.6 for me

Nevermind, a mod that dealt with Galaxy generation conflicted with it.

i was curious if was working casue tlord tachanka said its not working .. but i wanna try
it

It appears to be working fine to me. Loaded up a game in the current 2.2.5 version with the slider set to 5x and it spawned in many, many primitives in different stages of development. What problems are you having?

does it still work

Doesn't appear to work.

I love you.

I don't know if it's possible or not. All this mod does is change the value of usage_odds in special_init_02 in special_system_initializers.txt from 1.5 to 20. The actual generation of the primitive civilization appears to be elsewhere.

I would like to know as well on what john posted if it's possible to add a option for us to type in the custom species.

Is there any way to make the game generate primitives with modded species, like from a SW or ST species pack?

Kevdog, I think I've fixed it, but I suspect that you'll need to re-generate.

Awesome, thank you!

Hey, really enjoyed this mod from 2.0

Just thought I would mention that primitives seem to act as starter colonies now for whatever reason, in that they consist of 1-3 pops and a reassembled ship shelter regardless of what tech level they are at.

Not sure if this has been fixed or not, since the last time I played was yesterday.

Anywho, please keep up the good work and I appreciate your effort!

Looks like they made some changes to primitive generation. I think I fixed it; the primitives have reasonable population levels now.

I'll check it out.

yea it seems theres a bug all the primitives are only 1 pop. and they no longer give society output.

It seems that primitives are in very low numbers - maybe I was unlucky but it is suspicious. Several planets had one pop only.

Wes, it appears to work fine when I loaded it up. I'll update the versioning soon.
