Ethics and Civics Classic (Machine Spirit Update)

Description
Now Has Megacorp Civics + Linux Fix!

*Niche bugs may exist, please report them on discord

Hello everyone!

Joakim is sadly retiring from the modding scene. I would like to thank him for maintaining/updating the mod ever since Petruxa left, he was carrying the torch for so long, and I am honored to be carrying it forward.

As custodian of the mod, I'll be keeping it up to date throughout patch releases. My first task was to optimize our code, as each update heavily broke it. I can now confidently say Ethics & Civics Classic is more compatible than ever. The mod has been cleared of any unnecessary vanilla code that caused conflicts/overrides. I've also commented the code to help identify any vanilla/modded changes for future Custodians. Lastly, I've updated the mod to have Megacorp Content! Megacorps can be Cooperative or Competitive Ethics.

I've also made the Stellaris mod "Distant Stars Overhaul & Playable Nanite Machines". If you enjoy, or would like to see distant stars expanded upon, check out DSO. It has built-in compatibility with E&C.

MESSAGE FROM PETRUXA - THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR OF THIS MOD
At this point I don't have it in me to keep on maintaining this mod. In case anyone is interested, I'd be happy to make him a co-author, in order to continue running this page and update the mod himself.

I leave everyone a right to take the mod as it is, and just make whatever he likes out of it.

****
MESSAGE FROM Joakim.Westergaard - NEW CARETAKER OF THIS MOD
While I/We do try to keep this mod updated to a "working standard" since Petruxa left, I could certainly use help! This is especially concerning:
-Bug Fixing
-Updating when Stellaris updates (Major updates in particular it VERY time consuming)
-Translating the mod into other languages as I have neither the time or skills to update other the than English Localization.

********************************************************************************

IN CASE YOU DISCOVER A "BUG", YOU WISH TO REPORT, PLEASE, MAKE SURE THAT MY MOD IS SOURCE OF THAT BUG. IN ORDER TO DO IT, YOU HAVE TO DISABLE ALL OTHER MODS YOU USE, BESIDES MINE, AND CHECK IF THE BUG STILL OCCURS. PRO TIP: Make a second playset in the laucher using only this mod - its quick and easy!

I am asking, because 99,9% of the reported "bugs" appear to be simple mods compatibility issues. Thanks for understanding.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION
**********************************

- 2 new Ethical scales:

COOPERATIVE / COMPETITIVE - to reflect economic values of your society, reflecting the ownership of property and how wealth and means of production are distributed;

ECOCENTRIST / INDUSTRIALIST - to reflect Species relation towards their biosphere;

Basically, vanilla Authoritarian - Egalitarian paradigm was transformed into 2 independent scales: Authoritarian - Libertarian and Competitive - Cooperative, where Authoritarian - Libertarian only reflects political values, and how political power is distributed between State and Citizens

Number of available Ethic points was increased to 5

around 50+ new Civics, along with some rebuild/modified vanilla Civics

New civics are of different types: Green (regular) an Yellow (so-called "themed governments"). Some of the vanilla Civics has been modified or disabled, in order to maintain the consistency of the Civics set as a whole.

- a new Authority type: DIRECT DEMOCRACY

- 30+ new Government forms

- a range of new Policies: ECONOMIC STANCE, AUTHORITY STANCE, EDUCATION, HEALTHCARE, TRANSPORTATION, TELECOMMUNICATION, and a few new Trade policies

- 20 new Jobs

- Maximum Leader level has been increased to 20

Localisations: English, and French are updated while other included languages are outdated! If someone want's to sign up and translate, Id be happy to include them.

Russian translation is found in this mod (Thanks to Fres): https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2991748106
*********************************************************************************
CONCERNING MISSING ETHICS IN UI. If you do not see all ethics in the game please confirm that you have no other mods touching the UI installed or that you have a compatibility path installed correctly (one is provided for UI Overhaul).

ALSO: The images shown in the mod description are outdated (alas, cannot update these). The number of Ethics are fewer than shown, e.g. Pluralist has been removed. The mod windows work if you see an ethic line called cooperative/competitive.

I just tried this, the mod loaded the latest version (machine spirit organics work techno-priest jobs + compatible with Shroud Forge)

I think this is a steam workshop issue, since I pushed a few updates close to eachother. What matters is your checksum matches your friend and the latest content works
DaViper 12 Oct @ 10:39am 
I posted below: unsubbed/re-subbed x 3 including wiping the folder/cleared pdx cache with mod refresh. The other 88 mods in the playset aren't doing this.

Steam Workshop Downloader sucks :steamfacepalm:

Unsubscribing and resubscribing usually helps
DaViper 12 Oct @ 8:19am 
Just a check on the freshly download mod folder, the descriptor.mod is showing this:
version="3.12"
name="Ethics and Civics Classic (Pirate Update)"
tags={
"Overhaul"
}
picture="cover.png"
supported_version="v4.1.5"
remote_file_id="1100284147"

@Fenrisulfr Did that. Wiped the folder from the workshop folder. It still reverts. I just posted on the ethics/civis discord showing the result.
Fenrisúlfr 12 Oct @ 7:24am 
i think if you find the mod file and delete it then unsub resub it might fix it
DaViper 12 Oct @ 7:03am 
@TheHearth You're not losing your mind. It took 2-3 unsub-resubs to get a good copy, and STILL when starting the PDX launcher, the mod shows up as "pirate update" even though it initally showed as the proper "machine spirit update" after d/l.
I play solo, but I wonder about the name change (reversion) in the launcher as well.
ᛝ The Hearth ᛝ 12 Oct @ 3:16am 
The mod keeps changing to the older version whenever I launch the game???

I can't play with a friend because it does that, is that steam being fucked up?

(We use the same mod load order but it only happens to me)
