I do not see that on my end. There is an issue with starbases not using extra large weapons, but that's not caused by this mod.

I've noticed as you've been updating this mod-file, it is affecting the Expanded Starbases mod. When I try to build weapon slots on my starbases (at any upgrade level), the slots are displayed as empty in the examination window (when you click the magnifying glass button to see the combat systems). So I can't really build military bastions because nearly a third of the weapons are missing.

ah. yes you're right, I saw exp_tree_caretaker and assumed it was this mod when, in fact, it's a fuckin vanilla bug. sorry bout that

@Ministry of Justice It has the same requirements as vanilla, at least where robots are concerned. Are you sure this is not caused by another mod?

utopian abundance is banned from robots in organic empires even with full synths, makes it impossible for the universal prosperity mandate galcom resolution to work properly

This mod makes indentured servitude available only to authoritarian states. I don't understand why added this feature.

It has one when I try to download it, so I'm not sure what's happening on your end.

@Tovius I did. Still nothing

It might not have downloaded correctly. Try unsubscribbing and resubscribbing.

@Tovius when I subscribe to this mod it says there is no descriptor file

The only way to know for sure is to test with only this mod active.

This is the only mod I could see possibly messing with it on my modset. I only think it might be the case as you have an Expanded Megastructures mod right?

Here's the modset in question if you're interested in trying to help or are curious what I was using when I have this issue

This mod shouldn't effect megastructures. Are you sure it's not another mod causing the problem?

I have a strong feeling this mod is causing issues with my game. I keep getting games where the AI is building dyson spheres and ringworlds at like 2230. I check their empires and they don't have the required techs or APs to get galactic wonders but have the AP anyways. Can you look into this

Thanks :)

I was wondering if you ever play with Ethics & Civics and PD yourself?
I tried to 3-way merge some files from your mod and those for districts, but those have some hiccups, especially the generator districts. E&C only uses the inline script for farmers_add and not for technicians (don't remember the miner one).

This is an example of a 3 way merge attempt by me: https://pastebin.com/XGuVGcFx

My thought process as a none-modder was this: make sure I copied all different variable cost-code related blocks to the patch. Same with the triggered_planet_modifiers.

Turns out the solution is simple: PD just changed what some of their scripted triggers were called for some reason.

Sure, I can do that.

Could you readd can_change_category = no to pop_categories\02_other_categories.txt wilderness_heart_strata as it is in the vanilla file to allow you to see your biomass amount on the planet otherwise, unless I am completely blind, you can't see the population or biomass on the planet.

It is also kinda weird because it just removes the biomass stratum completely, as with this mod the pops get split into menial drone, complex drone, and no category atleast on the management screen. Without it they are all listed as biomass in that box.

Thank you, that is very helpful

Here is the pastebin for that file btw in case it helps. I don't know if it'll work on its own in expanded mods without PD

Ok so I fixed part of the problem yesterday between PD and this mod regarding no resource deposits on planets.

For me the problematic file was in
Common\scripted_effects - generate_start_deposits_and_blockers

It wasn't all that complex to make a compat patch in Irony Mod Manager, I barely remember what I did. I'm not a mod maker at all, just have some basic knowledge about code.

I had different issues though that made me remove all expanded based mods for now (not entirely sure they are the cause, though)

When building districts (farm, generator...) no actual jobs were added. But I'm still troubleshooting that one.

i know

he knows ^^

Issue with Planetary Diversity and this mod
For anyone else looking around, this mod is the reason why resource deposits wont spawn on planet types added by planetary diversity (and possibly other mods). Don't have the energy to figure out why or how to fix it though unfortunately.

Would be cool if u put information into the Changelog so people know when they can use the mod again^^

If someone can find what might be causing the issue, I can get to it faster, as I don't have time to look for myself until Expanded Pops is updated.

at least we know u working on it next so that will shut the most people up ^^

No worries Tovius. Thank you!

I am still knee deep in updating Expanded Pops, so I'm afraid fixing compatibility with Planetary Diversity will have to wait.

Same here, the update basicly did nothing to change that to my knowledge/testing

Yep, I've been running into the incompatibility with Planetary Diversity too since the most recent update.

Can confirm after thorough retesting, with just PD + Ascension, Gaia, Exotic, and Vanilla Submods (Ordered according to the PD FAQ, to be sure) and Expanded Mods Base (above/first or below/last) that I often get the bug mentioned below when creating a new game with a random country and otherwise default settings.

I can second I have noticed a similar issue with the latest PD patch where I often start a new game and the planet has no features besides default blockers. I didn't realize it was this base mod that is supposedly the cause.

Currently the only work around I know of is to use Real Space to designate the capital with a new planet subclass in order to reset the features, but this also inadvertedly butchers some origins and makes it so you have no generator/mining/farming districts at game start, and thus are still both lacking housing and at a resource deficit from the first month onwards.

Apologies, tested it a bit more and it seems to be a conflict with Planetary Diversity. Could you add in a mod description? Kinda hard to anticipate conflicts without having to dig through the files ourselves.

Could you please double check that the problem persists with only this mod active?

Yup, entirely different issue

@Duke Fontaine

Recently I had troubles with Expanded Mods Base but solved all of them by updating to the latest version of Stellaris. Are you using latest version?

Bug: This mod obliterates planetary features at game start for all empires, entirely destroying the game balance. Kinda devastating, just had an incredible game start with sanctuary 4 jumps away. RIP

What mods require this? Also, the inline script call in the civilian pop category is borked. It reads inline_script = "pop_categories/inline_script = "pop_categories/worker_modifiers""

@Tovius

It was my fault. I was not running the latest version of the game. Problem solved.

Continue the great work and thank you for your mods!

Again, it is working on my end. Try redownloading the mod.

@Tovius

Thanks for the fast answer. I am only testing with this mod enabled and after that with my Stellaris vanilla install. With the mod the mentioned district specializatiuons are bugged, without it they are ok. Does it help if I send a pic?

They look fine on my end. I suspect a mod conflict.

Research Enclaves, Physics Research Spec, Soc Research Spec, Eng Research Spec, Administrative Hub, Spiritual Enclave, Sanctuary Enclave, Planetary Defenses and Commercial Nexus are all bugged.

Playing a normal human empire and there are quite a few district specializations that last 0 days to build, cost 0 to build, don't provide bonuses, don't have any associated buildings to build there and lack specific icons.

bug: Nanite worlds crash game when you try to specilize the districts. Attempted to turn a Nanite world into a mining focused planet after turning into nanomachines.

It should be fixed now

Bug: This mod causes the specialized districts on a Machine World to give negative housing, rather than the positive they are supposed to. (eg: Resource Consolidation origin.) No other mods running.

I can confirm that fixed it!
