I appreciate it! I'm pretty self-deprecating by nature, so I appreciate the encouragement and am glad to hear that people actually like this mod :)

Again, no rush. I totally understand. Real life has to take priority. I just wanted you to know that other people appreciate your work and look forward to seeing more of it.

Hey man, yeah life has been CRAZY lately with my work demanding ever later hours and I have truly failed to meet the deadline, but a update is still in the works. I will investigate why the policies appear for gestalts as that shouldn't happen. Apologies to everyone!

Hey there. I understand if life is stressful right now (I currently work from home with two kids) so I'm not trying to push. I was just curious if you had any updates on this mod. I've also finally bothered to play a hive mind and it appears that these policies (and your By Their Will mod) appear for gestalts. By Their Will policies at least aren't selectable, but the policies from this mod are. I very much can set policies as a hive mind that make no sense.

Hey guys, it's been awhile since I've updated this. Fear not! You can expect a big update by the end of this month! I'm planning to add quite a bit of new content in, so stay tuned.

Hey @TortoTheConqueror, I'm not sure, It's not really made to run with that mod but I don't think it would outright break it either!

Do you think that this would work with divided loyalties? By that I mean would the policies gel well with the new factions added by that mod?

@SushiSquid I'll look into these issues tonight. Thank you for alerting me. Life has been very busy lately and I haven't been able to do as much work on the mod as I'd hoped.

The Drug Policy Recreational Use Only should be called Recreational Use because it also allows medical use. Very minor.
Education Funding has typos in moderate, high, and very high that make their bonuses 1/10 of what they are supposed to be.
The new Police State Law and Order policy is missing its localization.

I've fixed these issues in my local copy (I went with "This society has a militarized police force that harshly cracks-down on all criminals or suspected criminals, often with overwhelming force." as the text for Police State) already.

I'm really glad to see this mod and to see it get updated. Stellaris is fundamentally about letting us tell a story about an empire as we build it. The more customization we get in how we tell that story, the better.

I really love policies, it's like you can custom better your own empire, many thanks

No worries. Added it to my collection for mods to watch anyways!

@Double D Sorry man. That mod adds in several things that would conflict with what I have here. Once this mod has more content and I've reached the end of the major updates, I will consider making another version that is compatible.
@Grzesio thank you! All the support is very appreciated. I'll consider adding some minor ethics attraction bonuses to certain policies. Just don't want to railroad a player's experience too much.

Looks great, policies should give attractions to certain ethics, tbh

Me again, was hoping to use this but apparently conflicts with Ethics and Civic's Alternative for the pop faction types :/

Thank you! That means a lot. I was hoping it wasn't too bare-bones. I'm thinking of adding in things like drug policies, gun control, etc.

This is actually super cool, good work. Looking forward to what other policies and features you add next.

Fixed issue where ships were adding piracy

Yikes. I'll look into that. Thanks. Bugfix tonight or tomorrow.

Bug: Fleets now actually add massive amounts of piracy

Sure thing! I'm glad you like it. I'm planning to add in many more policies, but want to playtest and tweak things before I add more in. You can expect law and order policies and research funding in the next update.

I really love policies, it's like custom your own empire, thanks for that
