Ideology Simplified - Tree Connection

Description
This mod simplifies the "Tree Connection" meme into the more focused "Gauranlen Connection" meme. Now you can choose to have the dryads without the tree hugging.


- "Tree Connection" renamed to "Gauranlen Connection"
- Impact changed from "High" to "Medium"
- No longer requires "Trees: Desired", "Rough Living: Welcomed", or "Temperature: Tough"
- Pruning Speed +25% > +100%
- No longer unlocks Plant Specialist.
- No longer unlocks Tree Sowing.
- Removed all of the moodlet stuff.
- Updated the auto-generated Ideology Narratives.



Why did you make this mod?
I love the idea of Ideology, but in its current state, I find it very restrictive. This is especially true when playing multi-ideo colonies. My hope is to make Ideology simpler, with a focus on rewarding the player rather than restricting or punishing them. Each meme should be exciting in its own way.

Tree Connection in particular restricted dryads to one specific belief system. I hope this change allows dryads to be central to a wide variety of ideologies.


Doesn't this make the game too easy?
I don't think so. But that's ultimately up to you.


Is this mod compatible with x mod?
This mod is a simple XML patch. It should be compatible with most mods.


If you like the this mod, please leave a like!
If I see that people like it, I'll be motivated to tackle the other memes too. :)

I've published a 1.4 continued version of the mod here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3014131361 .
If Slashandz comes back to maintain original version I can remove it

Was going through unsubbing from non-working mods, and realized I didn't check if anyone mentioned that this one works fine. I've been using it in a 1.4 game with zero issues aside from the mod claiming it is the wrong version.

I'd subscribe to this mod, were it not that it completely overrides the meme instead of making a separate, less restrictive version.

765611.... I'm guessing it's because they released another mod that modifies the Rancher meme into the "Farm Life" Meme, which removes a lot of the BS debuffs of the Rancher meme, but also adds Plant Specialist to it, so that it really is about your "Farm Life", not just Ranching. So the two could be used in tandem.

I do agree with King of Blades and DeeHasApples though, if for nothing else than not potentially destroying active games; These should be added as New Memes, you want to modify vanilla assets as little as humanly possible to avoid mod conflicts/instability issues.

Game balance is a fickle thing

..? Why does it remove Plant Specialist, what sense does that make?
Skele₊ 16 Nov, 2021 @ 8:53am 
vv agreed

I also agree with the comment below. It sounds like a totally different thing, and if I played with this I wouldn't want it to remove memes.

Any chance you could potentially make this so it doesn't totally replace tree connection, but adds gauranlen connection as an entirely new meme?
