Ooh, hope this gets updated. Currently (all available DLC) it makes all traits disappear and invalidates lithoid species.

ty

I will update it, but I am still fighting with the new launcher. I've tried a couple of updates and they didn't upload.

i can use it for the game set up but when i try to load a game with it on it causes a crash

will this be getting a update

@greg079 It is done, you should be able to select biological portraits as machine intelligence. Make sure you select the right species class though. I've essentially duplicated the portraits, but made them machines.

I can add it in. Give me a few minutes :)

would you be willing to make that as a feature of this mod? or are you saying the mod adding the new races would need to be modified?

No, but it can be done easily.

with this mod, would mod organic rac portraits be playable for machine empires?

Lastly, you have to call the first event. To do that, you need a text file in the On Actions folder, text looks like this:
_____________________________________
on_game_start = {
events = {
alternatetraits_bioengineers_event.1
alternatetraits_clean_energy_advocates_event.1
alternatetraits_cyber_exoskeletons_event.1
}
}
______________________________________

I want to note, this all came from PJs :: Traits and VitesseDL's Expanded Traits, I just adapted it to my needs.

I see no reason you can't swap civic for trait. To check civics you'll need something like:

is_technocracy_civic = {
limit = {
owner = {
has_civic = civic_technocracy
}
}
}

I haven't tested this, but this would be my first guess.

Next, you will need to define the "is_traitname_trait limit.

Make a text file in the Scripted Triggers folder. Text should look like this:

_____________________________
is_brilliant_trait = {
owner_species = {
has_trait = trait_brilliant
}
}

is_bioengineers_trait = {
owner_species = {
has_trait = trait_bioengineers
}
}

is_clean_energy_advocates_trait = {
owner_species = {
has_trait = trait_clean_energy_advocates
}
}

is_cyber_exoskeletons_trait = {
owner_species = {
has_trait = trait_cyber_exoskeletons
}
}

@Peter34
First make a text file in the events folder that corresponds to the mod and trait you have in mind. The text looks like this:
------------------------------------------------------------
namespace = modname_traitname_event

event = {
id = modname_traitname_event.1

hide_window = yes
is_triggered_only = yes

immediate = {
every_country = {
limit = { is_traitname_trait = yes }
country_event = { id = modname_traitname_event.2 }
}
}
}

country_event = {
id = modname_traitname_event.2

hide_window = yes
is_triggered_only = yes

immediate = {
give_technology = { tech = "tech_genome_mapping" message = no }
give_technology = { tech = "tech_gene_tailoring" message = no }
}
}
-----------------------------------------------

Can you please explain how you add starting Techs? The modder behind the StarterTech 3 mod can't figure out how to make Civics to that, so if you can do it with Traits in 2.3, maybe the method can also be used with Civics?

Up to 10 traits
Start with 5 trait points
Start with 4 civic picks
Take from 3 to 5 Ethics points

Looks interesting. Can you list in detail the trait point and picks as well as the civics point changes?
