Hey everyone! It’s been an exciting week working on my Stellaris mod, and I’ve got some cool progress to share with you. As some of you might know, there’s a tricky block the Stellaris devs put in place that prevents modders from locking civics behind researchable technology. This limitation has been a bit frustrating, especially when trying to create a more nuanced and dynamic progression for empires in the game. But this week, I managed to bypass it!

After some experimenting, I discovered a way around the civic-technology limitation by creating a unique combination of ethics and events that allow civics to effectively “unlock” through research. This workaround opens up tons of possibilities, and I’m excited to keep refining it.

Stay tuned for more updates as I dive deeper into what this system can bring to the game.

Thanks for reading, and happy modding!
