@effective. Power I can't seem to message you directly, the button doesn't work. Send me another message privately maybe?

"I don't feel so good" *Desentigrates*

@LysdexicsUntied I'll add you on steam, then we can talk about whatever it is

@effective Is there any way to message you personally on steam?

@Malicous Thanks for that, but I really didn't put much into keeping it alive, only uploading it until the next update. But I agree as well, the game does feel kind of empty without it, it was such a good objective to go for.

Because of how much fun this mod is/was I have actually stopped playing Stellaris altogether until its updated (yes I know the Author of this version isnt able to update it) I hope the original Author is able to fix this mod for the latest version as I do think it really adds great objectives to the game.

What a brilliant mod this is/was @Thunder you should be proud of the work you put in here, even if you cant update the mod, you still did a great Job and thank you!

@effective. Power, you sir also get credit for keeping this mod alive for as long as you could, and thank you for that!

As I said without this mod in particular Stellaris just feels a little empty for me now.

@The Erubian Warlord Trust me, i'm hoping too

i get that i just needed a post here to keep my finger on the pulse as it were

@The Erubian Warlord Won't be coming from me, sorry

awaiting update

@Sovereign I know, I hope someone takes the torch up on this mod

yeah sadly this doesnt even work with the latest update. After day one you begin with all the stones. Man, this mod was awesome.

Let's hope for the best!

Yeah, this mod gave me an entirely new mid- to late-game objective, one of the best mods I used for sure. But yeah absolutely, I'd never want him to burn out again

Yea there are many things that would be changed but it could still work out perfectly in the end, I do hope that this makes a comback for the future as it was a fantastic mod and gave me something to pursue outside of what was vanilla. Not sure about Thunder, hope he does come back to it but also hopes he stays happy at the same time. Only time will tell!

Yeah true, I didn't even think about the snap. Edicts temselves are changed too so I'm guessing the Stone Transfer edicts would need alterring as well. And yeah I'm with you, I've looked around the mod files a lot and I think I have a general understanding of it, and I'd love to patch it up but I have no modding experoence either. Do we know for sure if Thunder plans to come back to it? His last reply seemed pretty hypothetical

@LysdexicsUntied I haven't personally looked at the affects of the 2.2 on this mod but I would imagine that most effects of the stones are now null and that their spawn might also be affected, the biggest affect I could think of is that the snap you are able to do with all 6 stones would also become null as population was the wildest change. I believe that it could be updated and still work well, but I have no modding experience whatsoever and cannot do anything about it sadly.

Out of curiousity, how much did 2.2 break this mod? Obviously a lot of the modiifers got affected and I'm guessing the actual strategic resources of the stones don't work with the new resource format, but beyond that how much is there to fix?

@Thunder I understand, thanks for all the effort you put into the mod, it is fantastic and hopefully you can update it to 2.2, thanks again!

Thunder, you did a damn good job with this quality mod.

Regarding stone spawns:

Stones should 99.9% spawn every time. There is a logic error in the generator procedure where the mind stone could overwrite the soul stone as they can both spawn at barren planets. I forgot to check if the randomly selected planet doesn't already have a stone.

But for this the random barren planet must be the same which has a very low chance unless you are playing on the smallest map size. I personally never had this issue during playtesting.

The space stone could also overwrite any other stone as it can spawn on any star/planet class.

Original mod author here - just to make a few things clear:

After I started working on the end game crisis I started to burn out from modding. It turns out adding a crisis is much more complicated than it seems. (On the dev version I have 24 folders in common, making weapon images and effects takes hours)

I might create a version for 2.2 (unless somebody else does) once it comes out but its gonna be different as they are removing pops so many of the stone effects will need to be changed. If I do I am not gonna publish it before it is actually finished (really finished). The early access style development I did turned out to be quiet annoying as well. I spent more time adding features than actually playtesting properly.

THANOS CAR

@TesaVonAtti the stones are Strategic Resource deposits, you should get an event pop up when each one is found by a science ship. At first on the map they will be white, and then when you research how to use them they will each be their correct colour

@TesaVonAtti I'll see what I can do, I put it up because it disappeared and it was a mod I greatly wanted back

Maybe I can't see, they are displayed or the stones? (You should put pictures). : )

@TesaVonAtti I didn't develop the mod, but i'll update it soon and see if it helps, otherwise there isn't anything I can specifically do

I don't t see the stones, it may be due to obsolete mode, could you update it?

@Lightcaster Not only did you get a stone but the power one too, damn!

HOW

Heh, I got luck today: Had one (the Power Stone) spawn in my home system! :P

Yeah, but would you Snap!? You need military power to seize the stones, so you're already winning. It could work for a smaller empire that is loosing in a war, but then in such a position it's impossible to assemble the stones. Great mod, subscribed, but something is missing.

@Lead Butter Every game I've played with the mod has had the infinity stones in it, which is about 2 full games and 2-3 test games (to see if they were working) Make sure that you havea completely surveyed your galaxy to know 100% for sure. And also make sure that you see resources that aren't being worked as well

I kinda want to make it so that the infinity stones ALWAYS spawn

Gotcha wasnt sure, collect them before I mapped out the whole galaxy.

@AMBsurfer From what I am aware of, yes, they simply rellocate into the galaxy

Do the tones disappear after the snap? I used it and got the pop up but wasnt sure if they just dispurssed back into the galaxy

@Lightcaster I do remember that and can do it, just need to figure out how to update the mod then

as far as I know the only file that needs to be changed is the Descriptor.mod file. there should be a line that states "supported_version="2.0.*"" or something similar, you change it to the current (2.1.* would work for all of 2.1 theoretically)

@kowkillar: ok that's weird, I just resubbed and it still says "doesnt work for 2.1.3, only for 2.1.2". The original author said there was a way to handle this problem by simply changing one digit in a text file, but i can't remember how it worked...

Yea, it should still work up until a update comes in that changes the way planets operate or something of the such that would result in the stones not spawning or some other error. In this case I hope someone can pick up the torch and continue to update it and maybe even add onto it

It already works fine on 2.1.3.

@Lord of Shittinghole-Pukebucket I got no idea how to update it to 2.1.3 I could find a way later by some turtorial or something, otherwise I got no clue. You can change whatever you feel

Is there any chance to update the mod to Stellaris 2.1.3? Or can I change a gamefile sso it works?

didnt have enough money, just so you know

Damn, well ill figure it out eventually

@Chang I honestly have no idea, I had nothing to do with the creation of the mod but also had a problem transfering the time and soul stone to my capital and other planets. Sorry though, got no idea

Any idea why i cant move my new stone to my capital? ive done it with 2 others already
