Keizer: I could be wrong here, but I think that if you delete the old' code you have and then upload the 'new' code to this one, it will count it as an update even though it's effectively a merger.

Great! Thanks for the update.

Hi Liquid Snake, Gui Montag. I appreciate you guys looking into the mod while I was unavailable. In anticipation of Overlord I've recently come back to Stellaris. Looking at your comments has allowed me to quickly update the mod for version 3.4. I also removed some redundant pieces of code, and updated others with the new properties that were introduced throughout game updates (technocracy doesn't work the same anymore, and other internal parameters were renamed).
Unfortunately, I seem to have lost the original copy of the mod files, so I'm unable to update this particular workshop item. I'm hoping it might be possible to merge the new files into this workshop item, but I'm uncertain how. In the meantime I uploaded the update as a new workshop item: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2807880734
it should work, but let me know if you encounter any issues/bugs.
Cheers!

@Liquid Snake Great suggestion. I make a new workshop item with the change you described. Of course I will remove it if the authors here request it, or if this item is updated. I did cursory testing and it appears to work as you said. It can be found here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2807786775

Hi all, so with the advice below from Gui, I took a look into the mod files. Turns out all you need to do to fix this is open the mod's common\buildings folder, then the file res_research_buildings, and either delete or comment-out (#) the line 'building_relaxed_basic_income_check = yes'. Then it works!

Doesn't seem to work anymore for 3.3. Any plan for an update?

Great mod! Seems obvious that there should be dedicated research buildings.

I love your mod, it allow us to focus on 1 or 2 types of tecnology rather than general .

Yeah, it is a vanilla bug, a pretty minor one. I'd have to set up a paradox account on their forums to report it. :/

haha that's pretty cool that you were able to discover this! I didn't overwrite any base game files so I'm pretty sure this is a vanilla bug. Perhaps there is a way to report this to the developers?

I recall it wasn't on the month, so I fired up my test game to try and catch it. Turns out it is just a graphical glitch in the planet view. Changing tabs in the planet view doesn't fix it, but closing and reopening the planet view window does. I tested with different vanilla buildings, and in cases where it removes a job from one row and creates a new job on another row, it seems to work, but if I replace a job type in complex drones row with a new job type, it doesn't update properly until the planet view is reopened, instead the old job just shows as 0 employed. There are no unemployed drones either, the window just isn't updating properly. Happens when I replace a vanilla job with another vanilla job too. I didn't test it without the mod, but I seriously doubt it would affect this. Looks like a Stellaris glitch that isn't usually seen because people don't babysit the planet view while they replace building types.

@Daltares yupp every new update brings with it new stuff to fix haha. I'll look into the job switching when I have time, maybe the game just needs to update the month, but I'm curious to compare it to vanilla. Either way I'm glad it works now! Thanks for the feedback and I hope you can enjoy the mod now :)

@Keizerguy It's fixed. I unsub'd and resub'd the mod just to make sure I had the changes from the 26th, did the exact same tests I did yesterday with an off the shelf Hive Mind and it worked this time! I'm assuming it works for a Machine Intelligence too. Tested all three labs, and noticed a weird behavior where if you replace one lab with another it doesn't immediately recognize the new job type, but after some time passed it corrected itself, so I think this has to do with something in the game engine update loop for jobs. Thanks for fixing it so fast! Ugh, it's a pain trying to iron out all the kinks every major update!

@Daltares does this still happen with the updated version of the mod? I had to update some requirements for the jobs, and in my testing all play styles can now fill the jobs.

Just wanted to update, after extensive testing this morning I determined that the problem where I can't fill the worker slots for this mod's buildings only happens with Hive Minds and Machine Intelligences. It seems to work fine for normal empires. I was testing the mod standalone without other mods, launching new games and building an Engineering Lab (I assume problem exists for other labs). Not sure if this was a pre-existing problem or new to 3.2, because I don't recall encountering it when I played a Machine Intelligence a couple months ago. I just happened to play a Hive Mind game for my first 3.2 play thru when I noticed it.

Great idea but i think the bonuses pretty OP.

@Daltares thanks for letting me know! I'll look into it and also update the mod for 3.2

I can build the buildings, but the jobs won't fill in 3.2. Not sure, might be because of some other mod interaction, but my other mods seem to be OK atm. Figure it was worth mentioning to see if anyone else is seeing this problem.

Version 3.2 - the base of the mod is working.

Version 3.1 - the base of the mod is working. I haven't checked it thoroughly yet.

So you could build tons of engineering scientists and send battleships on your neighbors in a rush. Maybe this is a balance issue. Maybe the specialised research labs should produce 8 instead of 12 science or so.

This is the best mod ever,

I always am far too low on Engineering,

The mod should work with gestalts as well. Ofcourse, compatibility with 3.0 can't be guaranteed. I will work on updating it within the coming weeks.

Does this mod work with gestalt consciousness empires as well?

does this work with 3.0?

"All technologies or buildings that increase reseacher output also apply to these specialized researchers."

Nice! Thanks for taking that into account.

@NaCl, research buffs also apply to the specialized populations!

Question,
Does the Specialised populations still benefit from "Research Subsidaries" which give researchers a buff of 10%, Or does that only apply to the original "Researcher" class?

Does this work fine with 2.7?

nice mod, thanks for keeping it up to date

Oh I wasn't asking for a patch, I just wanted to know how the mod worked.

Thanks.

I can't patch this mod to work with others. If other mods use the vanilla modifiers they will apply to these researchers as well. If they have their own modifiers they would have to edit their mod. In general though I think it's very common for other mods to utilize the vanilla modifiers, so you should be good. Hope this answers your question & have fun with the mod!

Mods which add new techs that either lower researcher upkeep, increase production, etc.

What do you mean adds new techs?

But anything that adds new techs would need a patch?

@Magus yes the default techs for researcher production also apply to these new jobs

Do techs which affect researcher production, upkeep, or other such modifier also apply to these new jobs?

This mod gives me the chance to make a Tech World worth two.... possibly three Science Nexus XD

Science for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner... Mmm MM MMMmmmmm Toasty X3

This brings back memories.

THANK GOD,
As robots or bio assended, your engineering wont be 10 years behind every time you make a tiny change to the traits

God. Memories

Nice mod, this is always nice when one or two of your techs are falling behind
