Here's an updated version

This mod is broken for 4 0.X.

Find one of many, many alternative, updated Ethic Point mods on Workshop if using the 4.0.X version of Bug Branch.

Any chance for you to make this into a technology instead of a base addition? I know its possible to make a tech that grants ethic points. Just make it impossible for Gestalt civs to research

This really needs an update as it breaks several ethics, including materialist, spiritualist, xenophile, and militarist.

Will you update all the submods?

Is this planned to be updated? It currently breaks Spiritualist and Materialist.

cant wait for update, love this mod!

Update?

Why is this mod deleting both human prescripted empires?

Needs an update, if you want to do it yourself you can copy the 00_ethics.txt from Bug Branch and edit line 2678, changing the cost from 1 to 3 for the gestalt ethic

Update?

Update?

through some testing I found that this mod is deleting the 2 vanilla human factions from the starting factions list, it's the only mod among my mods that is doing so and I tested it with only this mod and the EC bug branch main mod

I need this! I love you long time mr Bug !

It needs to be added to the description or that job constraint needs to be removed I think.

possible = { owner = { NOT = { has_valid_civic = civic_bugged_distributism } } }

So if you have Distributism, you can't have Moguls?

Hey, I can't seem to get any pops to take bugged_mogul jobs, what's up with that?

I've done a bit more testing and it seems to be something to do with prescripted countries (I like to play without any prescripted countries in the menu so I always do a search for the prescripted countries and delete them from the files while keeping the files, left blank, in place). It works with no issue as long as there is one prescripted country (even if from a different mod), but as soon as there are no prescripted countries it won't load at all.

Guess I'll just need to design a prescripted country of my own!

Still seems a bit strange though as I've never had crashes as a result of havnig no prescripted countries before and I'm using basically the same mod list as when I last played heavily modded back in 3.4!

However again without this mod active I was still able to launch the game with no scripted countries yesterday, include the base version of bug branch with just the 5 ethic points available.

Hmm, I'm not sure why this mod would cause it to crash, but I'll take a look after I'm done updating forgotten queens

Also getting ctd's before game start with this mod active. Deactivating the mod prevents the crashes.

Im getting crashes and the game won't start. This is the only mod out of date... =(

Thanks for the answes :)

@Shezarrinerevarine: It likely won't need an update, but if it does I'll make one as soon as I can

Will this be compatible with 3.7 / will there be a 3.7 update to the mod?

@Psychonaut: Yep

Does this mod work with 3.6?

K thank you

@The Sole Crackmas Goblin: This should work fine without a specific update for 3.5, but I'll take a look over the next couple of days

I apologize if this seems annoying but will this be updated to go with the toxoids update

@Figaround This mod should be placed after the base Bug Branch mod in your load order

In what order should I install this mod in relation to the main one, above or below? I use the usual paradox launcher.

@Lufian I just pushed a patch that should fix that issue

Ok, I'll take a look at fixing that, I think I know what caused it

it was stuff such as the main human empires being named humans1 and humans2 and then the other empires having lowercase letter at the start of the empire names. Even an empire called VOOR.

@Lufian (ENG) Could you let me know what the specific errors were?

Hmm, I fixed it by loading this before Ethics & Civics: Bug Branch

Seems to be causing grammatical errors in the empire selection screen.

It should be fixed now

Gestalt no longer has the cost increased to 3?

alright then nevermind

Due to the way that the Steam Workshop works, I don't think that would be possible, sorry

so if possible could you create mod for players who could change it like they want and not just guiding individual players?

hm okay but I do not exactly know how to create mods nor coding

@mark07 You would probably need to make your own custom mod that edits common/ethics/00_ethics.txt, if you try to edit one of the mods you already have from the workshop it likely won't work

but exactly at what file since I tried that in file in original and this mod but still there was not change

@mark07, you would change the ethic cost of gestalt_consciousness to 6

I changed number of ethic points from 7 to 1O how can I also change cost of gestalt so that normal empires do not have those?

@CorruptedUsername So you were absolutely correct, I made my load order like a dumb-dumb.

@CorruptedUsername I figured as much. I'll try to switch up my load order and play around with somethings.

@Punished Dwight, this seems to be a compatibility issue, since when I open the game with only UI Overhaul Dynamic, Ethics & Civics: Bug Branch, and Ethics and Civics: Bug Branch Submod: 7 Ethic Points, the pre-scripted empires are still there
