I checked the code and this should still work for version 4

I'm a synthetic, driven assimilator, I am in a defensive war, I won every single battle and absolutely stomped the enemy empire, but now I'm somehow forced into a peace ... when my population hasn't been touched by the fighting and they essentially have no free will but somehow they just can't keep on fighting, makes sense ...

Could this be also made race specific? At some point it makes sense if you have a normal race but when you play as a devouring swarm/hive mind or as an eliminating machine species or at last as a species which devours everything else there should never be that option for "Status quo" since when will any devouring species listen "to there meal"? At last I wouldn't and eat them :yum:

make it work for 3.4

should just be normal the auto peace thing shoud get that specific dev kicked in the balls

yeah i played with it, still does, amazing mod man

@F1032 it should still work.

does this still work

@FrostGlock, you can do that from what I've experienced.

Can confirm that this mod works on 3.*.

One Question:
Can I disable and re-enable this mod in one save?
Cause late AI vs. AI wars could last for unlimited amount of time...

I'll run some tests with paradoxos for conflicts

@JenkoRun, were you running other mods that modify gameplay behaviours? This mod is confirmed working as of 2.8.

We just ran a test game with this and the ai forced a status quo.

@Lord Pax, the mod is now updated and works with 2.6.

@Lord Pax, the mod has not been updated to 2.6. I will update all of my mods when I get some time. It appears that significant changes have occurred in some of the files that my mods change.

EY. I was just forced into status quo. This mod doesn't work.

@PurKus, it already works with 2.5. I'll add to the description that it is compatible to prevent confusion.

could you update this to 2.5?

@Lord Pax, there's nothing different about the code that needs to be changed between the versions, but the launcher is unlikely to allow you to run it. Worth a shot, otherwise I can just send you the files that you need to add to your mod folder with the correct version

Does it work with 2.3.3?

Thanks for your kind words @Luchs, my thoughts exactly. I started looking for a mod that did this a while back and found one but they never get updated fast enough for my liking so I've just made one myself. All of my mods aim to shift the default mechanics to my liking a little bit more without completely trivialising the game.

I would really like it if the war exhaustion in Stellaris was more like this

Instead of forced peace, reaching full war exhaustion is a morale debuff which affects fighting strength of armies and fleets, depending on your ethics unless you're like fanatic militarist then you never get sick of fighting. And internally, can cause anti-war factions to gain strength perhaps?

I had a war going on where I had them cornered but because I took some damage on a fleet taking out their one starbase my exhaustion was higher and I was nuking their planet and they were like forced peace. I get that the mechanic is put in to prevent wars from going on forever but holy fuck that is annoying and unrealistic. You can't stop someone who's nuking your planet if you have no means to defend yourself. What are you going to do? You can reach out to others, but you can't just be like BRO FORCED PEACE NOT COOL STOP NUKING AND GENOCIDING US

Thank you for making this mod.
