https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1343281923&tscn=1522121821 this new mod is the offspring of the traits part of this mod and a completel reworking of my no logner working zero cost traits mod. every trait functions like the onese in this mod here.

I'm not good at keeping things up to date so expect to see me keep them update for a few patches and then leave them to someone to update for a few patches as I Can never seem to update more than once every 4-5 patches

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1341191627 I've started updating my mods myself. I've made a new mod that makes use of soem of the civics from this mod, such as spaceborn which works wodnerfully now. the updates to the game really helped. the rest of the traits nad civics will be going into a different mod. give me soem time I'm only now getting back inot all of this

I am now one of the contributors to the mod, I will be updating this as soon as I can. A few civics/traits were removed as they were not working correctly or 2.0 makes them redundant.

darrien, i would love to get a chance to try to play as blighted, if you get that working i would really appreciate

hi, any chance for the update? Civics woks fine, but traits are not available during race creation menu.

Hello, there, i love your mods, they are fantastic and make me enjoy stellaris even more. I wish they were a part of original game!

Can you please do me a favor and add russian localisation template?
All is needed is to duplicate the english localisation files, changing the name to russian in file name and first line, no any translation required.
This will help a lot, cause i would see the normal english text instead of something like "Society_trait_output".

Wouldn't that mean they grow at the rate of one every 2 years? That's a bit slow.

I noticed that Droids have +200 Habitability, maybe -200% will work for Pop Growth penalty?>

This is amazing!

Todays update is

Small Fix to Expanionist Civic to include the Savannah planet class
Changed the pop growth penalty to Cloning Species Trait to -100% instead of -500 as it was causing the engine to count it like a +500% modifier. Use at your own risk as you will be stuck with with a growing pop.

Next I will help Gwen with the blighted trait that does not appear to be working correctly.

The update today was a few fixes that showed up in the error log, the blighted trait has been disabled till its fixed. Cloning Species trait is fixed(I have not actually tested it yet though)

Also, thanks for addressing the Gigantic and Small traits needing to be exclusive.
Now seeing that Claustro and Agoraphobia civics should be exclusive too but theyre not....

Well, that was weird. Was playing my current game and exited... Steam updated Gwen's mod automatically, then shortly I started my saved game back up... and behold, no civics or traits relating to this mod.
After taking off my tin-foil hat, I deactivated all other mods and re-subscribed this mod... now it works fine =)

@david by grabbing a lot of system with research points so you can put stations on them. I do run Stellar Energy Balanced which does in crease the amount of resources in the galaxy so my game might be different.@Dern what is currently not working?

I believe this last update did something drastic. Either its not working OR a ton of features were removed....

Darrien, how do frontier outposts help with research production?

Due to the amount of frontier outposts you can build, you should not have issues with research since with only one planet you have little to no penalty

You know, I probably should do that, yeah. Thanks, Adecoy95. Sadly, real life has gotten me pulled away from this game. :)

davidb11, pair it with one of the mods that lets you build habitats with less prerequisites

i cant get the blighted trait to change the planets my species inhabits. is it working right? only mod loaded is this one and it still is not changing it

Darrien, the problem with the nerf is you can't beeline to habitiats from the start of the game super quickly, and therfore are stuck with glacially slow technology production even with a one planet population thing.
Even if you were to beeline straight for all the modifications to research, and all the best systems around your empire, it's still a hell of a crap shoot to get to habitats before everyone outpaces your technology fast.

It's not a powerful enough boost at only +20% research. Sure the nerf was needed, but how exactly do you support the idea of having glacially slow research for half a century?

@dav - That nerf was intentional and suggested by me in the discord to the creator. The Spaceborne civic was intended on being only able to colonize ringworlds and habitats. The global penalty to your empire is so you can't bypass that restriction by gene modding, robots or migration treaties. That civic is extremely powerful with the frontier outpost buff, in my mp compilation I removed the research bonus, all the station upkeep bonuses except the frontier outpost and it is still very strong.

Gwen is also having issues accessing the steam forums for some reason and did a small update

Fixes include a bug in the way the subterranean building files and making gigantic and small trait restricted to each other.

@Exende I would recommend checking if you can't build those buildings now.

@davtanguay I have the same issue with the 'Spaceborn' civic. Since it is a civic, it affects ALL of your member races. Not sure if there's a work around to make it only affect starting races or maybe just turn it into a racial trait...

The subterrainean civic only allows one subterrainean building (maybe that's intended), but it doesn't allow the higher tech buildings (zoos, labs,paradise domes, power plants, mines) because it also requires the subterrainean capital_1.

THis is why we can't have nice things, Davtanguay. His Nerf to Habitability kind of broke things badly.

i need help. since this mod was updated my empire glitched and now every single alien in my empire got 0% habitability on every single planet i colonised....... i think i just lost the game

Well, it did need a nerf to make it work with AlphaMod and what not, otherwise it was really broken.
Oh boy. Time to beline cyborg evolution. :)

Patch Notes

Spaceborne
habitat habitability +300%
ringworld habitability +300%
all habitability -200%
all research speed +20%
no longer changes pop starting preference.

Fixed Blighted

This is from what I gather from talking to Gwen.

Dernibelung, Spaceborn is awesome though if you play this with AlphaMod, since you can still colonize planets. :)

Great mod and thanks for the effort to update =)

Issues and Comments:
1) 'Gigantic' and 'Small' traits should be mutually exclusive (had races spawn with both)
2) Missing the 'Sad Socrates' trait =,(
3) 'Spaceborn' is no joke. Sure you get perks BUT it cancels your 'Home Climate' choice and forces you to roleplay =)

Just a heads up to folks that Gwen's PC has gone kaput! ;-; They are working on getting it fixed, but updates will be on hold until she has a working computer again! Sorry for the delays, and we'll keep you posted on her status :)

she'll update and fix things when her computer returns from the shop

yeah sorry, I'm probably not the best to give balance feedback. But for what it's worth, I'm enjoying the game with this mod :)

death and glory now grants unity/influence equal to the ship size of the destroyed ship

added a new perm civic that grants +3 cor planet cap and grants an additional starting planet

my personal playtest I've been doing uses adjusted numbers of All other habitats -200%
anomaly find chance +25%
research speed +25%. tahts my personal version not the uploaded version.

the bug where the new pops got the habitability change was because on_Game_start_country was only supposed to fire AT GaME START but it is instead firing whenever a new country got made. so I moved it to empire tech init. works fine there.

meanwhile I'll jsut upload the one fix now that I know its a thing.

hmmm well I wish I could get the person I was talkign to to post here. keep telling them to but they won't. Id rather you folks talk to them about it since i jsut make the stuff. the case they made for nerfing it was to make it so the country coubling doesn't work on planets once you get past that stage. but if hte time investment is high enough that the late game doubled enrgy and minerals is useful I Can do taht as well. when I get conflicting feedback its a bit rough to amke a good decision.

okay. so I solved that glitch. I'll update once I can create a few things to ease things. I'm going to make a wargoal for them, and only them, to massively reduce enemy border range so they can try to build more outposts and claim more area.

Rough, I don't know if it needs to be nerfed just because you're having amazing insane luck with it. :)
Besides, you're 80+ years into the game, you have habitats. I don't think it's fair to nerf something that requires an absurd time investment to have happen.

that shouldn't be happening. the calls I sued should only have triggered on game start and never again after that. I'll look into it shortly.

A little more feedback on Spaceborn. When I invaded and enslaved the alien neighbors, they immediately lost their regular habitability trait, gained ringworld trait, and promptly tried to leave their homeworld. So that was weird. I got them to stay by researching enough habitability to reach the 40% threshold, but it's still weird.

Then I got an event from another mod that gives you a free pop "Alien Trespasser," who didn't gain the ringworld trait. I used that pop to colonize a large world and built 6 habitats in the homeworld system I took from my neighbors. At this point, I'm superior to every empire I know that isn't Fallen. I've become pretty OP, and this is on hard.

If I had to sum up the whole thing, I think that the mineral and energy bonus Spaceborn gets should be nerfed.

vassals and tributaries wont' get the bonuses. so those would still be useful

well after thinking about it and talking it over with someone if I don't want folks to cheese it I'll need to add a -200% habitability modifier for all habitats other than ringworld and space habitat. since you can cheese the penalties with robots and ceded planets and uplifting while keeping all the bonuses. problem is i don't want to break save games.

Maybe I'm missing something, but doesn't it take quite a bit of time to get the technology to build habitats?
I have yet to reach that in any game I've played, and I've nearly hit 80 years.

honestly balance isn't a thing that is as important to me as does it function as intended and is it fun. balance is great but the weirder something is the harder it is to balance perfectly.I'm glad to hear how its going.

So far the game is going well. 0 maintenance frontier posts is quite helpful, to say the least. I'm in the midst of conquering my small neighbor, whom I'll then enslave and use to colonize planets in my territory, while building more habitats all over the place. I'm playing with ISB/NSC, so mining stations have been cheaper, frontier posts can be upgraded, and military stations in general are more powerful. I'm about 80ish years into the game atm.
