ok

Maybe, but I won't be making a mod for it because I don't have the time. Sorry

is it possible to have it only for player

Updated.

Will this be updated?

There's most likely other mods on the workshop for extra civics and traits. I would make another mod, but unfortunatly I'm rather busy and would rather not spend time updating even more mods than I already have, since that usually takes forever every update. Sorry about that

Is there one of these that is strictly for Civic and Trait points? Could you produce one strictly for that? I like the maximum 8 picks and 3 Civil points a lot, but I don't really want to get lumped in with the near infinite naval capacity or the core systems increase.

it works as it should now thanks for the quick response

ill try it then

The mod should probably (Hopefully) work now.

thanks ill look forward to it

Huh. All of my mods seem to be broken for some reason and I can't figure out why. It won't let me edit maximum Ethics, core worlds, civics, and a few other things. This is weird because the update shouldn't have changed anything at all. I'm rather busy for the rest of the day today, but when/if I find a solution and fix this mod, I'll get back to you. Sorry about that

i seem to only have gotten the -4 trait points the leader changes and the gestailt concious 4 point cost. (which means i can´t play hive mind or robots) anyway to fix this?

No worries bud, I appreciate you getting back to me <3

Sorry for the late reply, but I dunno if I want to. I feel bad about this, but every single update I need to go through and drastically recode a lot of my mods. I already have 5 of them and it takes forever, so I don't really know if I want to make a 6th, considering I don't even play Stellaris as much as I used to.

That being said next update I plan to re-balance this entire mod, and based on how it seems they're changing the game I'll probably decrease the amount of core worlds offered in this mod.

Sorry man, I feel bad about this but I barely have enough free time for the 5 mods I've already made, I have no idea if I could support the 5th.

Hey Goku, any chance you could release a version of this mod, without the increased number of core systems? We're having balancing issues against teh AI in many of our multiplayer sessions with the mod at the moment because of the AI's cheaty behaviour. Without the increased core systems it would fit in beautifully

Hmm, I have literally no idea why this mod would do this. However, since theres 2 cases of it, it probably is my mod.

I have absoutly no idea if either of you know anything about modding, or if anyone else who does has this problem either, but I guess saying this would have no harm done anyway. The 3 files I have accessed are the defines.txt, ethics.txt and species_archetypes.txt files. I didn't edit anything relating to genetic modification, just the "trait_points" and "max_traits" values. Maybe the new update messed it up, I have no idea.

@CruxMDQ so we have the same problem then

I'm having a problem. Trying to use this breaks genetic modification later on: I don't get any points from any techs researched later on. Maybe I have a file conflict with another mod somewhere?

no, I'm using my own custom empire

I actually use the main version of that mod all the time. I haven't used it recently due to the lack of a 1.8 patch.
I'm rather confused how choosing a biological ascencion path would give you no traits, though. I don't think I modified anything relating to that. However, there is one thing I can think of. Are you playing as a Gestalt Consciousness? I modified the Gestalt Consciousness ethic to make it slightly more expensive and that is literally the only thing I can think of that would cause this.

I suspect there is incompactibility with this mod (I'm using this)
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1163455038
but I'm not sure it is the case

I have no idea why that would happen, are you using any other mods? I don't doubt that the problem could be this mod but it could easily be another one. I haven't played a biological race since the update so I guess I have had no way to test it really.

is it me or seems I get no trait points when I choose biological ascencion path?

Uh, yeah, I'm using a few other mods. Only like 100 or so :v I dunno if that's the problem or not, it's just what I noticed, figured I'd mention it to possibly trgger an "Aha!" moment.

I'm a bit confused, I don't think that I've actually modded anything relating to the traits except for the point value. I haven't played much of this update so I don't really know much of how this works, so that doesn't help much either. You sure you aren't using any other mods? I don't doubt that this mod caused the issue, but I have no idea what it is or how it's happening, so I figured it would be useful to ask

I looked at a civ that should've been a hive mind, and what I noticed is that in the diplomacy screen, the tooltip for the founder species shows that they don't have the hive-minded trait. I THINK 1.8 made it so all gestalt consciousnesses get the applicable trait (hive-minded or machine) in the species creation screen, where before I believe it was added after the game started. The reason I noticed is apparently a machine race doesn't run into this issue. Might be worth looking into.

Thanks Goku! Update killed my old traits mod and its hard finding one that isnt over the top. I just want to boost my powerlevel by a hundred points or so to add flavor, I don't need it over 9000 :p

now i get the fun chore of disabling all my non-cosmetic mods for a vanilla run.

i have around 140, each mod freezes the launcher for about 15 seconds


you can see the problem here lol

Thanks, glad you enjoy it!

that's okay :)

i couldn't even have made a mod in the first place, your mod is fun, and it's only really a slight immersion problem considering you completely forget they're a hivemind because they keep talking in individual-tones

@That Memeing Dragon
I was planning on attempting to fix this issue on the 1.8 update, but I have searched and searched and for the life of me I can not figure out why the hell this would happen. I set the value of the Hive Mind ethic to 4, and as far as I can tell that is the only value for editing the cost. I can't find a value that is AI specific at all. So either I'm an idiot and there is a value somewhere that I'm missing, or it's Paradox's fault and AI's play by their own rules and there's no way to mod in points for them. I'm sorry about that but with my current knowledge of this game, I can't fix it.

so i keep finding Hive Minds that have an additional ethic.

it costs 4 for me, but it appears it only costs 3 to the AI

there was a devouring swarm using hegemonic imperialist diplomacy lines

oh cool this is the type of mod ive been looking for because I always start rapidly expanding at about ten minutes into the game because i start establishing a huge amount of colonies

Hopefully this link will work. I just uploaded all my mods to google drive

Do you mind sharing the mod files with me so I can manually install the mod? Thanks

Mod is updated. Even though the launcher says that my mod is out of date, this mod is relatively small, meaning it should still work. Stellaris updates rarely change the coding for trait points and such, so whenever there is a small update, mods of this size should almost always still work. I will still try to update ASAP though, just in case.

Wow I started using your mod last night and now it is outdated because of a game update. I really starting to dislike this game because you programmers keep updating it too much I can never finish a game. Still your mod is great.

From what I know about this stuff, mods that only change stuff such as maximum traits and ethics should still work even if they're out of date. I am pretty sure they haven't changed the coding for any of that stuff. Some probably still wont work though, it kind of depends on how the modder coded them. I would probably try some of the outdated trait mods, one might work.

Hmm thanks for the heads up, last i checked none of them were updated, thanks a ton :D

@magnum2016 A mod that JUST adds trait and ethics points? There is plenty of those out there already from my knowledge. I made this one so I could essentially combine all of those mods together so I wouldn't have 6 different mods and need to rememver which is which, lol.

Heres a mod I randomly found that gives 3 trait points instead of 2:

Heres a mod that gived 4 ethics points instead of 3:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=691887995&searchtext=more+ethic+points

All you have to do is just search "More traits" or somethng on the workshop and you'll probably find one to your liking. Hope this helped.

Could you make a simple mod that adds more trait points and ethics points

Awesome Mod!!! Has everything I need like you stated. Please keep this one updated if you can.
