the anomalyecho is due to me trying and failing to make guardian style pops, it shouldn't actually do anything.
Friendly locals just works like that, it doesn't have additional conditionals that prevent it from spawning on non colonized planets

The mod works great, I like all the extra pop types and the heroes you can get and all, but I think the mod is messing with anomaly generation in some way, some planets have anomalies that look weird, for example I had a few planets with an anomaly spelled out "%anomalyecho%" and it doesn't seem to do anything, it doesn't break the game or have any impact on gameplay so you can just ignore it and be fine so it isn't a huge deal... I've also seen a bunch of "friendly locals" anomaly without any minor factions actually being there, I've even seen one planet with two "friendly locals" on it despite there being no minor factions in the system... I mean at the end of the day it's a beneficial anomaly so again, not a huge deal. I just thought i'd point those little things out just in case it's an actual bug... Or if it's just a problem on my end idk...

Okay thank you for the clarification!

yeah some of the smaller values are displayed weird on the ui but as long as the conversion itself is correct (you can check by hovering over the respective fidsi on a system) then its fine really

I believe The Greed & Monokuma assimilation bonus shows the incorrect number for their X per Y resource. They currently show +0 happiness per Dust for example. Currently unsure if thats a me problem or just how the numbers can't be displayed properly?

Hmm, good to know atleast. If we manage to find anything I'll report back :D

(Including if we find out it's another mod)

Well without a crash log its imposible for me or anyone to determine what the source of the crash is

I haven't seen any comments on this mod at all so no Idea if ti's a conflict with one of our other mods or if everyone has this issue. Would love for others to tell their stories.

We really like the mod idea so would love to add it to our games :D
In the collection I sent you can also see our load order, if it helps in any way. Send a message if you have anything specific you want us to try. I have subscribed to this comment thread so will be updated automatically.

Okay, so we checked for files or data created via the bug report walkthrough. We have a save game I guess but otherwise no files even show the freeze happened.

I know about the "normal" softlocks. Like when a quest or ai gets janked and you need to reload/restart. We also know about the "infinite pending" in multiplayer. Where you need to check all notifications for the turn to end. We have also had pure crashes, especially in multiplayer BUT the big difference is that all of those are avoidable/fixable by restarting, reloading, looking through bug guides or otherwise.

This specific mod is the only one we have envountered that freezes the whole game without giving a output log, without saving, without being fixed by restarting. The game locks up and with a "alt´f4" restart it works until you press the end turn button again at which point the freeze repeats as before.

i mean i've had the game freeze on me while playing with only esg multiple times in the past, with yesterday's game forcing me to close the game, this plus the fact that i or anyone else hasn't reported this leaves me skeptical (also the fact that this mod doesn't change how the game works so it crashing the game after it was going for a while makes no sense). it also cant be an incompatibility thing since that'd crash the game when you try to load it. im also fairly certain that the game generates a log even when there isn't a crash so youll have to look at that.

I mean, it's obvious that this mod doesn't work with one of the other mods or this mod in itself causes the crash. We have played multiple games with that mod list but any time we try to use this mod it causes a total lockup of the game. Sadly, because it freezes, we have no buglog. Also, considering this mod says it should work with endless populations and ESG I would guess there is some kind of incompatibility or bug.

We play in large maps, normal speed, 8 empires.

you still didnt tell me anything about the bug itself or even why you think its this mod in particular is causing the bug

Never had the bug without this mod. We have played both multiplayer and singeplayer.
This is the list of our current mods:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2738284987

But even without number 6-7(Marketplace & Heroes of endless) It still doesn't work.

do you have any details? cuz that just sounds like endless space being endless space.

Sadly this mod has a bug of some sort. It freezes the whole game about halfway through a normal game.
