How similar will the overcrowded origin be to this one: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2025152665&searchtext=origin

I'd have to playtest this mod first, but broken down into a few words: I want this origin to function as shortcut towards the arcology perk similar to the mechanist origin. The homeworld will get more pops but some serious debuffs to not make it overpowered and reflect the difficulties its inhabitants face. Something like decreased amenity production would strain the entire economy enough to make up for the many additional pops.

A multi species start where you start out with another species like with Sycretic evolution only here instead of bonus worker output they aren't sup servant and are on a similar playing field of your main species and maybe also a bonus to something like xeno happiness or maybe pop growth from immigration.
I personally have always wanted to try a few empires out like one based off the Mon Cal from Star Wars who shared there world with the Quarrin which even though the 2 races didn't like each other they for the most part got along up until the Clone Wars.Maybe also a empire with the roachiods as your main species but some Humans who both start out as survivors where the backstory is that the roachoids quickly evolved to be as advanced as the humans via reverse engineering after the humans had a devastating nuclear war which killed off most of the human race however the interesting part is not all of them were killed out and eventually this roachoid society made contact with the human survivors who have been hiding in deep underground bunkers waiting for the radiation to blow away.Or heck you could also do a empire of the Coalition of Ordered Governments based off the COG from Gears of war with humans as your main species and the Locust as your secondary species and basically the story for them is long story short they were forced to make peace with each other upon the realization that another foreign starborn empire could easily conquer and crush both of there society's while the two were too busy fighting full blow war with each other the point is the scenarios are endless what you could do.

I should note that another modder with a similar mod has already done the hiveworld origin. You otherwise have no overlaps at all, so I would personally rather there be none. Up to you, of course, but thought you should at least know. There's a third doing a mod with only vanilla origins, but nothing like an overcrowded one.

I think this is what you’re looking for and yes I think this should be an origin.
