About mod detection
You can detect this mod, by 3 triggers.
1: "has_global_flag = ED_enabled". On game starting or save data loading, this global flag is set.
2: "is_ED_enabled = yes". "is_ED_enabled" scripted trigger returns TRUE always.
3: "check_variable_arithmetic = { which = @is_ED_enabled value = 1 }". "@is_ED_enabled" scripted variable is set to 1.

7. Gigastructural Engineering & More (4.0): I have little interested in compatibility with it, because
   1: I am not familiar with that mod's feature.
   2: It outputs too large error log, to be searched by non-authors. At least, I think so.
   
8. Ethics and Civics Classic (4.0 Mostly Fixed): I have little interested in compatibility with it, because
   1: I am not familiar with that mod's feature.
