What we need now is "Specialized Industry" which decouples the Industrial District into Alloys and Commercial Goods once more

Yea, I'm pretty sure given what the mod does, this version should be compatible with 3.12 also - So no real point in keeping my mod up at this point.

@LauraTons It was made by CassIsVibbin, who basically updated the mod for 3.12 following Keizer's absence. I bet Cass has now taken it down due Keizer being back

anyone know why the 3.12 version was taken down? https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3302746474

Awesome. Keen to use this in my next playthrough

Updated the mod to the newest 3.13 version! It now follows the balance updates from the previous versions. The code changes to the newer version of the game unfortunately also means that AI will no longer prefer building a specialised research building depending on their ascension path, but they will still build them

Hello! I translated your mod into Russian. Where can I upload the file so you can add it to the mod?

@Gui Montag did you figure out of this worked or?

Really like this mod, can anyone confirm it works with 3.6.1 as intended?

I agree that an option that locks it out from the AI would be nice, never saw it in their worlds yet though. I had an issue when I used one of the buildings for the first time with a non-gestalt empire, when after a few months the worker pops started trying to become engineers while the job was filled and I instantly had 0 workers due to demotion times, not sure what causes it though.

I love this mod, but I would like a version where the AI is not able to use them, to avoid weird interactions with Starnet and others.

No, I have a light modpack. About 20 other mods, most of them graphical.

@Penumbral did you test it with only this mod active? I haven't encountered this issue

yay

Needs update. Crashes on empire loading.

That sounds interesting! Although it does decrease the efficiency of researcher so I image that might be hard to balance. But I like the idea of those +20% techs unlocking new possibilities

@Keizerguy the mod will be revamping a lot of things, and among them it’d replace all the “+X% [resource]” technologies with something more interesting, and I was thinking it’d replace the “+20% physics/society/engineering research” techs with research building upgrades. I’m still not 100% certain how exactly I’ll do it, but that’s basically the gist of it

@NickolasName thanks for the interest. What kind of mod were you thinking of making exactly? The building icons are from an old version of Stellaris and are available on the Stellaris wiki somewhere. I did modify all icons myself to include the specific tech symbol.

I was thinking of creating a mod similar to thing but with a different focus. Would it be alright to borrow the assets from this mod(ie the building icons) provided I give you credit?

Love it. So much of the original game's charm has been lost to time, thanks for bringing a little piece back
