By the way, I’ve looked at your airtable government list & I noticed that Utopian Socialism & Utopian Despotism are not there? Have they been removed & if so, why?

By the way, here’s the updated patch for Bug Branch+Ruling Class Update+Government Variety Pack below

And yes the Ruling Class mod has once again been updated in the link below
Ruling Class: Unoffical Update

There seem to be quite few localisation issues, mainly with empire names. They spawn some broken localisations. Like lrsk_dic_pur_descbron for example.

The localizations should now reflect what's going on under the hood, but lmk if you spot any more incongruities.

Noice

The descriptions are not accurate and need to be updated but the amounts are updated on the backend. So if it says +1 job, it's really like +100.

Jobs per pop have not changed but don't actually need to: A ratio of 1 job per 20 pops is the same whether it's applied to 40 pops or 4000, and will give wither 2 jobs or 200, so the amount given ends up "as expected."

@REDbeard: And yet the ratios haven't changed, so the only difference is whether the jobs accumulate individually or in blocks of 100.

Are the job spawning civics updated for 4.0? Last I checked the descriptions on the civics are still showing the job numbers of the old system.

no compatibility patch with Ethics & Civics: Bug Branch?

Amazing that you pushed out an update so quickly, thank you! It looks like neither of the Bug Branch patches are being actively worked on; is anyone planning to take up the patch? Bug Branch is essential for me, but GVP is a close second, so I hate to play without it.

Has anyone else had problems with the AI not expanding?

Can't reproduce. Try unsubscribing and then resubscribing?

still say 3.14 in launcher

Updated for 4.0. As the description says, this is big... I've made sure that it doesn't throw and errors on load, and done some sanity checking of everything that touches pops, but have not had time (nor do I expect to have time) for a detailed test of everything that was changed.

It's been a minute, but I just pushed an update that I hope should cut down on annoying BS in the federation starts.

Okay am I stupid but none of these appear, is it because of the UI overhaul?

Suggestion: Similar to how Worker Cooperative is to Megacorps what Shared Burdens is to regular empires, a civic that is the counterpart of Oppressive Autocracy for Megacorps. Possibly extending as far as changing the Corporate election from "once every 20 years" to "On Ruler Death".

The civic itself doesn't require any tradition tree to be finished, only its councilor should.

In my game the civic Colonial Fiefs works without Expansion tradition tree completed.Is the description wrong?

I'm honestly surprised that it *isn't* incompatible with Shared Burdens, so now I have to think about why I didn't make it so.

Suggestion: Institutionalized Collectivism should be mutually exclusive with Shared Burdens much like Worker's Councils is.

Shared Burdens represents the communist utopian ideal, while Institutionalized Collectivism represents various other socialisms from Nordic social democracy, to German Kriegsozialismus, to Stalinist industrialism and Maoist Agrarianism and Cybersyn. As a possible balance concession, perhaps adjust Shared Burdens to also grant a (lesser) version of IC's Specialist and Worker Output modifiers

this might be a bit of a stretch to ask, but since a paperclip maximiser type civic has entered the game (in the form of Obsessional Directive), I don't suppose you could add Paperclip Maximiser as a government for it? flavoured something akin to the game Universal Paperclips

Right, neat

Already does: https://airtable.com/appmFXBFqrVazL0EJ/shrvncdJh1AUbsjiE/tbljdY5O0OR35wima

Will this include Council Positions for the new civics?

awesome, i love empire flavour

Probably, yes. For the content of this mod, not much changed about the underlying mechanics between base game updates.

Is this saved-game compatible? Thinking of throwing on my current run, it looks awesome :D

Updated for 3.14

Probably not

Assuming this isn't Ironman compatible?

Released a fairly big set of updates in prep for the new version and to make some long-overdue updates. See change notes for details.

The same way it's always worked.

How does Grand Alliance work now that Common Ground gives the other Federation types?

Made a few changes that should hopefully address the problem... the fact that this is happening at all indicates a flaw in how the conditions for this event are being set (and unset) but with the new checks in place, it shouldn't fire that event without a branch office and Workhouse building owned by a criminal Indentured Assets megacorp.

It does, thanks

I had just won an expropriation war, so all their branch offices had been closed down a few in-game months before. The slaves were abducted from the homeworld, hope this helps.

Just to be clear: Were pops abducted from your homeworld? Did any other planet have a branch office and buildings from the slavers?

I honestly forgot I put that in the mod lol

But, I have a guess as to why that might happen and how to prevent it. Thanks for the report

I seem to be having an issue with the special effects of the slaver guilds civic on criminal empires. I kicked the criminals off my homeworld during a Expropriation war, but a few years later i had one of my pops abducted even though the branch office was gone.

Not sure if anyone else has this issue, just thought you would want to know

yep. thanks

Should be fixed.

Okay, this is a government weighting issue, Criminal Syndicate is just set to a way higher value. Not a hard fix, but might take a little bit. Thanks!

It just shows up as Criminal Syndicate

I used "Investigation and Security Services" and "Criminal Heritage" as civics, Authoritarian ethic, (required for the former civic) and Corporate Authority, all of which were things that were the requirements according to the Government Public Reference sheet.

I didn't tamper with the origin, so just prosperous unification

Can you share what exact combination of ethics, civics, origin, and authority you're using?

Protection racket not working.

Ohh sorry i always thought it adds ethics ^^

This mod doesn't touch ethics so I can't see any way for it to prevent ethics from showing.
